I actually live inside the Beltway and have seen the gradual transformation of established local businesses to immigrant workers, most of whom are illegal. It is simply a matter of competition. If we make the illegals legal, the illegals will again become more attractive. Until you cut off the supply at the borders, we will continue to have a problem with no end.
The Senate amnesty bill just kicks the can down the road and makes it worse by increasing the number of LEGAL immigrants threefold, down from the fivefold increase in the original bill. The illegals will still come compounding the problem.
ref #479, I agree it is kicking the can down the road, and they will keep coming. Just like Rodguy911 says. Take the choice Chum out of the water....
