Illigal immigrants are a serious issue in the U.S. ... sure they provide cheap labour ... and don't reply with 'they do the jobs Americans won't do' .. Americans would work these jobs if they were paid decent wages and received health benefits. I find it odd, were these marches are making an impact in the media and the social conscience .. I guess this issue is more important than the war in Iraq. But I have to give these non-citizens credit for having a 'passion' and a drive to display there concerns.

Being a Canadian I will in January have to have a passport to cross the border to go and shop in Calais Maine. I could cross the St. Croix river in my canoe and enter the U.S. illegally stay and then get amnesty.

Oh yeah, why do I shop in Calais Maine ... because there is a certain store that still sells good quality 'made in U.S.' garden tools and such .. at rock bottom prices ... I could get these tools here at the Walmart, or Home Depot but they are junk made offshore in the Orient sold at a higher prices.
