now, if you go back and check, you'll see that I noted the above fact much earlier. It's a political reality,Dawg wrote:the fact that the last 6 presidents have done shit about it so as not to piss off the brown vote
and I really don't see it changing. Politicians, and parties, can read demographic statistics with the best of them, and nobody wants to be the group that is virtually unelectable in the next generation due to pissing off the Hispanic vote. Wrong? Probably. Ball-less? Of course, but that's what we get for not paying attention to the cash and vote whores we've allowed into office for a couple of decades. At no point here have I been advocating that giving any societal benefit to illegals is ok, in fact, I think I stated clearly that it serves to only blur the lines and make enforcement more difficult. But, what do you propose, realistically, be done about the status quo?? And, when I say 'realistically', please don't give some hallucinatory right-wing version of reality that won't make it through Congress or past an Appeals Court hearing.
