You are correct. The Democrats will steal this issue and do nothing except legalize the illegals, who will become another reliable Democrat voting blaock.
The war will be lost, like in 1975. Twelve million new Democrat voters(they will be given voting privileges by special Democrat legislation, like Clinton did in 1996) and redistricting favorable to the Democrats and backed up by liberal judges, will guarantee that the Democrats rule for decades to come.
And the genius Karl Rove will be making millions as a lobbyist and cable TV analyst. You middle class suckers will be making your weekly trip to the unemployment office while the illegals-now-legal take over your jobs at half the pay.
And the Chamber of Commerce will tell you to retrain into a field like computer science, where all the jobs are already on their way to India and China.
And all your kids will be asked to serve in the militay to protect the illegal aliens' rights back home.
America will not make it to the 22nd century.
"You middle class suckers will be making your weekly trips to the unemployment office, while the illegals, now legal take over your jobs at half the pay."
We can't blame it all on the illegals. When Ronald Reagan first was elected the ratio of major CEO pay to low level workers was around 40 to 1. Now the top CEO pay ratio is somewhere between 400 and 1,000 to one. What is wrong with this picture. Of course they want cheap illegal labor, otherwise they couldn't afford such outrageous ratios. This is probably one reason they have to send so many jobs overseas to cheap countries like India. It is probably also why medical care has become so expensive. Somehow we have to shame these people back to some reasonable rate of compensation, or terrible things are likely to happen in the future to cure their greed.
