Both parties pay lip service to the middle class, but there has been a large segment of the American population that hasn’t been represented by either party for a long time. Now I vote republican because the party extends some token support for a few of my beliefs, but the average Joe pretty much has the deck stacked against him when neither party will stand up for his rights. * * *

There are web sites like that. OTOH didn't you say the INS-Border Patrol didn't investigate complaints from individual citizens?

I strongly disagree that employers should be the ones responsible for determining whether a job applicant is legally in the country. That's the job of the Government. (But then, I also don't think businesses should be forced to be tax collectors, either.) The logic of making employers responsible to enforce laws is similar to requiring common citizens to arrest muggers or banks to shoot robbers. We pay big bucks to the Government to enforce laws, and just because the job gets a bit difficult is no reason for them to shift responsibility to others.
