funny thing is, people shout something must be done about illegal immigrants. but what? it's very simplistic to say get them all out of here.
reality is that many think (with good reason) that social security has been kept solvent all these years due to the pay ins by illegals, who then can't collect-as the social security #'s they give are bogus. then there's the fact that the labor market is already tight, growers, planters, farmers are already scrambling for labor. in this area, pine is a big crop-and they can't plant enough trees as the # of people filing for worker visas has dropped dramatically.
so, produce costs will skyrocket, inflation has already grown by leaps and bounds due to gasoline-add labor in on top of it.
so yeah, the pollyannic view is do away with illegals. it sounds good in theory. now put it in practice, and see what happens.
i don't think that immigration violation is that huge for this country. we've got a lot of larger issues to deal with, but people get sidetracked with stuff like this.
