Middle class taxpayers like myself wonder why the illegal immigration problem could have reached such levels in our communities. The problem points to the Federal Government. The recent release of documents by the Justice Department in the firing of the eight U.S. Attorneys shows a smoking gun:
"Guidelines issued by U.S. attorneys in Texas showed that most illegal immigrants crossing into the state had to be arrested at least six times before federal authorities would prosecute them, according to an internal Justice Department memo.
The disclosure provides a rare view of how federal authorities attempt to curb illegal immigration. The memo was released this week in response to a congressional investigation of the dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys."- Washington Post

All the evidence exists - just pulling it all together is a job - we should outsource it to India!!! I too am a Democrat who is ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. It is patently unfair to the lower income citizens us bleeding-heart liberals USED to lobby for.
Hey, idiot, the immigrants are here because there is a demand for their labor. Don't you read the papers? These guys pay taxes and buy goods and contribute to a social security system that would otherwise go bankrupt. Have you heard of all of the work visas that have been denied locally? That's right, every year, the biggest employers in Southampton bring immigrants over to work low-wage jobs because there is no one else around to do it! Now that they don't have their visa workers, they'll be hiring day laborers just like everyone else who need low-wage labor. Immigrants do not take jobs away from Americans. They fill jobs traditionally filled by immigrants or high-school dropouts. Tell you what, remove all the illegals and then sit by and watch as our local economy collapses and lower income citizens become even more fucked than before. By the way, any lower income worker without a job can stand at the 7-11 or a hiring hall, but they don't.

They don't take jobs from Americans? Last time I checked even high school drop outs were Americans. It use to be the some of these jobs were the safety net for people who never had the luck or resoirces to go to college. But, they could still make a good living in construction etc... They have now been undercut by the low wages the illegals work for.
