Lazy, Job-Stealing Immigrants?

Demagogues are spouting nativist nonesense about immigration, while candidates who know better are avoiding the issue.

Good corrective analysis!

One would hope that Lou Dobbs of CNN would also do a corrective analysis like this instead of just throwing false figures out of his rear.

Theyre here to stay. The sooner everyone gets over it, the sooner we can continue to go about our lives.

You did not mention the men who got a slap on the wrist for hiring illegal immigrants to help build the border fence in Arizona, Texas, etc. They were let off with a slap on the wrist because they were basically just good guys trying to make a profit. These people come here for jobs--if there were not people trying to cut labor costs by any means, i.e. unfair business practices by paying less-than-going-rate wages, there would be no migration for the jobs. The problem is not with the labor, but with the employers.

The Washington Post and all their writers are liberals and support open borders.

Sounds like there isn-t a problem at all. Why not leave well enough alone - let them remain undocumented. The statistics appear to indicate that if theyre granted legal status, their crime rate and unemployment rate will increase.

They are here to eliminate you and your country.

America has always welcomed those who came here legally. Those who slither in illegally should be treated the way their country treats illegal gringos--fair is fair

The next job taken is yours. The next couple of American children consigned to a so-called temporary trailer with 35 others so as to make room for more anchor babies and other illegal aliens will be yours.

The writer of this op-ed has no clue what goes on outside the beltway. He acts as if he, like George Bush, is a communist mole dead set on destroying the USA.

OVERPOPULATION -- why is Mallaby avoiding the issue. . . . In fact why is there a great conspiricy of silence amoung media and politicians. Why is it that they are so afraid to utter the word, *OVERPOPULATION*?????
