We know that. I have heard rumors of one congressman who profits personally from drug traffic. It is a Mister Goody Two Shoes that I wouldn't dare share because to me it is just a rumor but it really made me think. In the movies it is always the crook who is Mr. Clean.

You really don't know who is honest or who will do what but Trump is the ONLY candidate who caught on to and is actually addressing the issue. Those who aren't even going to talk about it are certainly not going to even attempt to do anything. Then there is that candidate who calls those of us who want a closed border and law and order, racist and bigots. Evidently some people will do anything to get elected.

You can almost see why they do what they do. The honest candidates are back home now working in their own states.

It's all about power & money. Immigration law firms. Cheap labor for industry. Voting power for the democratic party. Cultural pressure from ethnic groups. Add this to these bad trade deals that are outsourcing jobs & industries overseas & you have a perfect storm. When G.W. Bush kept the borders open after the attack on 9/11 that was a big "tell" on just how corrupt our government is.
