DavidS wrote I wish somebody would get real about why we have the big illegal immigrant problem today. They don't take jobs from Americans, they take minimum wage and sub-minimum wage jobs. You know, the jobs that don't pay enough to live on. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, you could live on minimum wage. No longer. If it had kept up with inflation, minimum wage would be more than $10.00 an hour now. An American can live on that. Not well, but so what? To live on minimum wage today, you have to have several people crowded into a small apartment and sharing costs. And, oh yeah, the terrorists don't hire coyotes to sneak them across the border into the Great Southwestern Desert. They fly into airports and use forged documents, if not their own legitimate IDs and passports.

I agree with your points. Even I hear that Education and health care is going down the dumper. I saw on TV that majority of legal immagrants did not pass high school and dropped out to work min. wage.
