Soon illegal immigrants may become a major issue because...

middle class Americans will be competing with them for the same jobs.

"They do jobs Americans don't want to do." may not be true for long.

Sounds like we are really heading into the big Depression of the 21st century.

1. I note
that a Mexican bus line here has been doing a bit more business southbound the last months.

Jobs are drying up at the bottom too.

2. The "jobs Americans don't want to do" line
hasn't been true for a while. In the DC Metro area illegals have been doing lots and lots of construction work for well over a decade. I'd be glad to have one of those jobs, since Bush's superb excellent economic policies cost me my job last year.

3. Illegal immigrants have already slowed crossing the border.
They are have a harder time finding jobs now, too.
