Yes, and that's the only real reason the liberals want unlimited immigration, especially the very cheapest kinds, unless they're the bleeding hearts that think the entire 2 billion impoverished of the world can simply come here and be handed a very nice standard of living.

Liberals in the past -- such as Cesar Chavez (not the boxer, the UFW guy) were opposed to open borders and illegal immigration because they were intelligent to know it was to bring wages and job benefits down. Liberals today aren't all that smart.

Apparently you aren't smart enough to get your information about liberals from someone besides Rush...

I can't think of a single liberal I know (including myself) who is for open borders or illegal immigration. Liberals speak up.

I can say the same for conservatives I know.

But Congress and the press found 70% or more of Americans in favor of amnesty.

Obama himself and all the democrats in the Senate. We've got a liberal Congressman here where I live who is very opposed to any immigration enforcement.

Are you saying that the job creators started hiring illegal immigrants only after their tax break was not renewed?

Well now, no one is arresting them are they ?
No one is deporting those illegal workers with illegal SS cards ?

So to be clear, your belief is that Obama is FOR illegal immigration and open borders. This is your belief?

I have one question: How can you be so misinformed? How is it possible for you to get through life with such a susceptibility to believing misinformation?
