Oh do I, just to let you know I'm a first generation American, my farther was a naturalized American Citizen, he came in legally fought in WW2, and the Korean war before earning his citizenship, so until you know of what you speak it's better if you just keep quite and let people think you're not quite intelligent instead of stating your opinion on something you know nothing about and proving your ignorance.
Thanks for link, I think it's a great starting point, I think the INS should raid everyone of those business and round up all the illegals and ship them back to their original countries, fine the companies that hire the illegals and bill the countries of origin for all the costs involved in providing for them during their illegal stay as well as all cost to get them out. Enforce the laws on the books and fine and jail companies and their executives that hire illegals the problem is manageable if we only enforce the laws we have on the books now, nothing new is needed.
Funny thing is I view the immigration issue as a Democratic and liberal issue — everyone knows it's the rich Republican business owners that benefit from the cheap labor... illegal immigration is hurting the average American worker, is stealing tax money, killing our schools, placing undue burden on our medical facilities, costing billions in extra government service to non citizens, why arn't they protecting the interests of the hard working middle class, families with children and the single parent households across this great land, where are the saviors of all that is good, when are they going to show up and save their constituency, what about the children. Why arn't they pointing out it's the rich business owner that profit from the labors of the poor disadvantage undocumented workers, why arn't they calling for the <s> stealing</s>, <s>redistributing</s>, <s>confiscating</s> taxing the windfall gains and profits these people who benefit so we can provide for these poor unfortunate undocumented workers.
The only thing you're right about it doesn't effect me to the point I will have to change my lifestyle, but it still cause me concern that it might effect the lifestyle of my friends and family, so why are you touting the causes of these parasites, I don't get it, but oh well thats because I live in my own little world.

The construction industry was hard hit in Florida. More than half the workers at construction sites in Miami-Dade County did not show up, according to Bill Spann, executive vice president of the Associated General Contractors of Greater Florida.
"If I lose my job, it's worth it," said Jose Cruz, an immigrant from El Salvador who rather than working his construction job protested with several thousand others in the rural city of Homestead outside Miami. "It's worth losing several jobs to get my papers."
This plan won't pass though IMHO.
