We're not saying it's all the illegals' fault.

Perhaps, but every discussion it seems even when it has very little to do with illegal immigrants seems to get turned into a blame the illegals discussion. Instead of actually addressing the issues that got us into the mess, the finger gets pointed at the illegals. Its one thing to have a discussion on it from time to time (which I'm not complaining about) its another to hijack every thread into an illegal immigrant bash fest (that is what I'm complaining about) If we are going to have a discussion on the economy lets keep it focused on the issues that have caused the economy to collapse, not to find some scapegoat which has nothing to do with the collapse.

YOU may not consider illegal aliens relevant to this discussion, but many of us do, so until you are made a moderator, please do not try and dictate what we can discuss.

I am going to close this thread until keeper & I can review it. It has turned again into an anti-immigrant (read Central American) rant.
