Oh look, a sarcastic comment that doesn't refute the facts I provided. 1. immigration is down from its peak 2. our prison system is composed of less then 25% illegals Apparently you can't refute those facts, so instead you try and distract?
Not possible. We've been told 11 million for 10 years now.
Can't be any peaks with static numbers.
There are no FACTS when it comes to illegal immigration because it's all estimates.
"The number of homeless children in the U.S. has surged in recent years to an all-time high, amounting to one child in every 30, according to a comprehensive state-by-state report that blames the nation's high poverty rate, the lack of affordable housing and the impacts of pervasive domestic violence."
And what does our hapless president do to fix the problem - oh yeah, he brings in more homeless children for political purposes. What a compassionate guy. Liberalism at it's finest.
This is right up the Republicans alley. They are Right to Life until the kids are born. Then what? Nothing.
Median wages are going down in large part because of the saturation of millions of illegals taking those jobs and lowering wages. The government could address this by kicking them all out and stopping the magnets that keep bringing them here -- birth right citizenship, businesses that hire illegals, and all the freebies they get.
This country was built on the backs of slaves and immigrants, legal and otherwise. The U.S. recruits cheap labor to achieve desired objectives and has done so all along. You don't hear too much about cracking down on the employment of undocumented workers. It's all about creating the impression of doing something- spending $ hundreds of billions a year building/ maintaining fences and employing substantially more border patrols. So much for those who claim to advocate for smaller government.
There is no fence high enough or troops deep enough to make a dent in illegal immigration so long as they can find employment in the US. Who would mow our lawns, build / renovate/ repair our houses, clean our houses, mind our kids, replace our roofs, cook and clean up in restaurant kitchens and on and on? It's not too different from the importation of say heroin. So long as there is an insatiable demand, the stuff will find a way in.
How come Texas and California, states that have the most to gain fron federal spending on fences and border patrols have no interest in biometric IDs?
It is no accident that Congress has not gotten it's act together over the past 30 years since Reagan gave amnesty to 6 million +/-. It has not mattered who sat the oval or held the majority.
And it's now not possible to win a popular election without securing at least 40% of the Hispanic vote.

Are you prepared to pay say $5.00 for a head of iceberg lettuce?

Not at this level we haven't .
And before they were just working in agriculture, not taking Americans jobs and lowering wages.
And before we weren't massively supporting them with handouts, nor were our prisons full of them.
What level?
Illegal immigration became a tidal wave in the 80's and peaked with the housing bubble.
No, this is what happens when America has record high illegitimacy rate, illiterate parents who aren't worth hiring and a president who wants amnesty for millions of illegals.
Which president would that be?
Bush promiced amnesty. His Congress failed to go along with it so Bush vowed to try again. That was enough to secure more than 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2004. Again, Congress would not go along for the ride. I have no idea how Bush really felt versus a strategy for reelection.
Mc Cain and Romney failed to secure the minimum 40% Hispanic vote and lost. No one understands this better than the GOP.
There are record high illegitimacy rates around the globe.

And the can keeps on kicking.
But we didn't have welfare programs back then.
Now they work under the table and get government benefits to the tune of over $1 trillion a year.
Quite a difference from then and now.
Open the borders but end all welfare programs.
Every man has to earn his way in America like they once did.
