The current generation of politicians care only about their re-election. Whether the country can absorb up to 25 million illegals is not something they want to take a cold hard look at. After all its an election year and our immigration debate is driven more by political calculation than by an assessment of what we need as a nation in terms of desirable immigrants and what they can do on behalf of rather than take, from our country.
