The issue with immigration is the issue is being subdued by two general groups in this country. The first being the employers as they want cheep labor and cannot get it without illegals. The working class of people in our City remain so docile to employers they deserve getting hammered because they won't even stick up for themselves. The second is the news media.
An example of that is the local paper. The people who staff the paper use it to further their own interests and not reporting news. The best example of that was when the woman controlled our local newspaper and printed the juicy stuff on the front page and not even bothering with the truth.
Until we get people of resolve and moral character in the positions of responsibility, we won't ever get this solved or resolved.
