3. Probably, illegal immigration is a recent phenomenon.
Until we found that there was a glut of non-skilled labor, it was very easy to legally immigrate here.

9. Care to elaborate?
Historically, until the early 20th century the only requirement was presence.

5. I'm convinced if Lou Dobbs ran into a burning building to rescue
people, he would ask questions about their legal status as he led them to safety.

Talk about a man with an obsession. :eyes:

7. People have this weird idea that illegals never came from the East Coast
nor from the North. I think there is a good chunk of racism that feeds this notion.

10. I believe you are 100% correct on that one...
Illegal immigrant is synonymous with Mexican now...

There are illegals coming from all over the place...
