The Republicans seem split between the "security" and the "cheap labor" factions. The Dems just want to get those 11 million hispanic votes. Meanwhile, only the most reactionary Republicans seem for the Americans whose wages are depressed by illgeal aliens. I doubt I'd agree with Tom Tancredo on anything else, but he's my guy on THIS issue. I haven't heard even ONE legislator proposing going after the employers, the one workable solution to the problem. With no jobs, the illegals would go home voluntarily. msnbc.msn.com How about having the Minutemen find the illegal employers within their own communities? Publicize them? Put their names in the paper. Ask INS why no action is being taken about these lawbreakers?

12 million low-wage workers ready to enroll in the many workfare programs. It's a bonanza for the Democrats who want to continue the expansion of the entitlement programs. 12 million workers without health insurance. 12 million workers in need of housing subsidies, food stamps, income assistance, and earned-income tax credits. 12 million workers without retirement programs. I heard their average wage is 24K per year. If they have kids in the public school system, the government is easily chipping in twice the direct labor cost to support these workers and their employers. Labor importation appears to be an issue where there's a convergence of interests of the left-wing socialists (Democrats) and the right-wing socialists (the 90% of the Republicans in the pockets of business and the fundamentalists).
