Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?

The open borders crowd is grasping at straws in order that we accept millions of illegals pouring into the country. Politicians like Sam Brownback and Jack Kemp do this all the time as well, citing Reagan and his "shining city on the hill" quote, but no one's buying it. He was not referring to illegal immigrants.

"The open borders crowd..."

Just another name for the Bush administration, IMO.

The problem you two keep running into is that you think that by countering me, your argument will prevail. But you see, I bring no opinions. I don't write the Dept of Labor unemployment stats; or DOJ stats; or demographic stats. I'm not a analyst at CATO. I don't write for the LA Times. I just post this stuff. Meanwhile, you two post only your opinions.

The whole world continues towards a market economy and there are truisms about a market economy that can't/won't be denied.

Will the US/Mex border tighten? Undoubetedly. will illegal immigration stop? No. Hell, there needs to be somebody there to clean the table next time you go out to eat.
