So what do you want to do about this truth, just out of curiosity?

We've got a porous border and no money. What do you want to put on the US credit card in order to deal with the illegal alien problem? It's a complex problem- I don't know the answer. But surely one of the answers is for businesses and people to take personal responsibility when they hire illegal aliens. But of course personal responsibility isn't just a problem for the left- it's a problem for everyone...

I see a lot of republicans and republican businesses benefiting from illegal help. And you have personal experience with that. So what do we do? How do we make you do the right thing, and demand American workers on your house?

Your post is based on assumptions and your personal experience in your area. That's why I would want to see a broader, objective numerical study that isn't bogged down by the passions and prejudices surrounding the issue.

Policy should be made based on real facts and information over assumptions and spin. The lack of a clear immigration policy today owes a lot to the emotion and spin that drown the issue whenever it comes up.
