Com'n on, MG, without immigrants we would have no culture with the exception of a remote side of my family tree. It's cool to say I'm part Native American even though that part probably equates to less than 3% for most.

Very few illegal immigrants break the law(s) if they can help it.
You would be astonished at the number of non-legals that obtained that status due to education and temporary 2 year work visas that have expired leaving these people in the lurch as they had applied for a green card or citizenship at the same time as their temps.
The Federales cannot be accused of being expedient.

This has been going on for years and years but now it is time for some to make political hay with it. Were you aware that the percentage of illegal immigrants being of Mexican descent is 56%?
