"the vast majority of immigrants to America are Christian and just want to do make an what's considered an honest living doing honest work(i.e picking food, building buildings)."

That may be true but they (the Mexican illegals) will be used by groups such as La Raza to promote reconquista.
The recent demonstrations, especially the first one, are proof that the illegal immigrant movement is not about becoming loyal Americans but about bringing Mexico to the U.S.....in other words, Reconquista. La Raza doesn't mince words they flat out state very plainly that Reconquista is their goal...and ol Tony Valdez in San Diego put a nice exclamation mark on that for everyone to see and hear.
You must either support Reconquista or you have your head buried very deep into the sand.
Aside from that, the big problem I have with recent immigration is that it all comes from Mexico and the Mexican government acts like it feels it has some right to be in charge of our immigration policies, and the people who benefit from the cheap labor are freeloading on the rest of us who foot the bills for educating and caring for this human tidal wave from a country with a noble/serf model of society.
What the American people need to tell the fat cats is basically that we're willing to play this game on a level playing field but, if you're not willing to do that, we stop the game.
That means seal the border with Mexico air tight, set up a point of debarkation offshore or at Gitmo and let everybody in south/central America have even shots at it, and let the people who hire these "guest workers" pay the full cost and bear the full burdon, i.e. provide education for their kids, medical assistance, and the whole ball of wax.
Well gee has the thought ever occurred to you that of instead of pushing these people away into the arms of such groups as la raza by knee jerkingly calling people working hard at honest professions, "criminal invaders", that you reach out to them and agree and welcome them on such issues as taxes, education reform, pro-life, and anti-homosexual marriage.
BTW, I bet you the vast majority of parents would welcome English immersion, but the teacher unions block that because bi-lingual education fills their coffers.
But for some reason hardly a peep from you about the teachers unions keeping the kids stuck in the public school mire.
