PER MONTH
The longer illegal immigration goes unchecked, the more we'll be voted out of our own country. I'm reminded of a movie quote from braveheart...

"If we can't get them out, we breed them out. That should fetch just the kind of lords we want to Scotland, taxes or no taxes."


Eventually, they'll have the majority vote in all of the south west, if not close to it already. Anchor babies, have a serious long term consequence.

Meanwhile.... the politicians (R or D ) do nothing because they're afraid they wont get re elected.

Oh man, how right you are.

As I've said before, before any serious discussion on illegal immigrants can occur, the border must be shut down. What really pisses me off is, what constituency is actually opposed to this?

None. There's just the fear that some people may not like it. Wow.

I hate that, since it reimburses below cost, but my wife is required to treat them (meaning literally that every such patient costs us money out of pocket (plus much larger opportunity costs).

Maybe they are not such a big deal in the NE. It's crushing in the SW.

Did I miss something else he implied other than that one sentence at the end of that post?
An "anchor baby" is not an anchor. If ICE decided to get off its ass and start deporting more illegal immigrant parents of babies born here in the U.S., there's nothing legally stopping them. An "anchor baby" is not insurance against deportation. It's a completely made up term.

Not sure why the hatred on this issue. The Obama admin is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants. Oh, wait, yes I'm sure why - he's Obama. That's enough to cancel out reality and substitute it with someone's own.

The problem is that most of us tend to not like one of the letters more than the other and voting for a third party candidate with little chance of winning is almost the same as giving ones vote to the one we don't like.

So he's wrong because the common term—which tells you exactly what kids he's talking about with 2 words instead of "child of an illegal alien" at 5 words—is not literally true?

I know the term, and I know that they are not a free pass to citizenship for the parents, I know all that. I still used "anchor baby." That's the term. The left calls illegal aliens (the technical term for them) "immigrants" or "migrants" or "undocumented workers." We all know they are really talking about illegal aliens.

Eh, we might be in the new reality. The media has done very well selling hate and vitriol towards the last three presidents. I'm not sure they'll give up the cash cow.

which media specifically.

The media seems to be equally as divided in praise and hate of the presidents as the populace.

All of it, pick an outlet and you'll find made up controversies that you wouldn't have seen 25, 30 years ago.
