Lol immigration is a completely different issue and one I have a strong passion for about the US. I'm very against illegal immigration. You see, we'd be fine with the number of legal immigrants we accept in the US. It's the illegal ones that are driving things bad. They take all the blue colar jobs for dirt cheap (way less than minimum wage) and they get paid in cash because they are illegal. They then promptly ship that money back to where they came from. It does nothing for our crappy economy. Becuase the money isn't being spent on the local economy and small busiensses like it needs to be. The jobs are being taken from able bodied legal residents. I view it the same as outsourcing to "Steve" from India.
