If anny [censored] politician who looks at the picture of the Mexican flag on top of ours does NOT get pissed off he should be sent back with the illegal people.

Again, CAPITAL LETTERS are for emphasis, not yelling.

Oh, the politicians are pissed-off all right, now that we're paying attention, they're just not going to do anything meaningful about this. Again, this is an election year and there will be plenty of political posturing when the TV cameras are running. Even if something gets through congress this year it will be toothless and slowly die on the vine, especially after November.

There isn't going to be any mass-deportations or any mini-deportations. The current status quo will continue: random capturing and return of small numbers of illegals while many, many more continue to bypass capture and enter the country and GO TO WORK.

Think of the immigration laws ALREADY ON THE BOOKS that are either not enforced or just simply ignored. With the current laws and any future laws the border is a revolving door and it will remain so. They can build all the "walls" they want to but American business desperately needs cheap labor, preferably non-citizen labor, and thus any walls will be bypassed one way or another.

Non-citizen labor means "Guest Workers" who have received "amnesty" from the president but who will be denied the rights and protections that American workers enjoy and fought hard to get. Looked at this way the whole illegal immigrant situation begins to make perfect sense.

The thought of putting up a wall makes us feel good about stopping illegal immigration but a wall isn't going to do much to solve the problem. It may slow down some of the flow but only temporarily until another means of getting across is found. For every tunnel the Border Patrol discovers there must be 5 to 10 more that go undiscovered. Once the wall is built there will be 100 tunnels, maybe 1,000.

Border Patrol agents routinely collect illegal immigrants day after day, night after night, give them a McDonald's hamburger, and escort them back to the border where they are released. They probably know many of the illegals well enough to say: "See you tomorrow." Talk about frustrating. The Border Patrol has to balance its law enforcement duty with the unspoken pressures from American politicians and business to allow the required number of illegals to get in. That's why the Border Patrol isn't larger in number and as well-equipped as they could be.

What it will take to stem the flood of illegal labor is a law that PUNISHES AMERICAN BUSINESS FOR HIRING ILLEGAL LABOR. Wanna' lay down money that such a law would ever so much as get to the floor of congress? NO WAY JOSE! Again, the president is pushing an "amnesty" bill at this moment and that should prove to anyone that what Washington wants, really wants, is to keep things as they are and allow illegals to be let off the hook. They stay here and are protected and allowed to continue to undercut the American worker. That's what the government wants.

These flag, etc., photos will keep on popping up and keep on pissing off everybody and we'll keep on discussing this and not one MEANINGFUL, SERIOUS thing will be done about the root problems of illegal immigration.

I predict that by this time next year, if not much sooner, we will have forgotten about this and we'll be talking about some other outrage.

Another case of SSDD: Same Sh*t, Different Day.
