  We really do not need any more "guest workers" and their "anchor babies", there are plenty of able bodied men and women here available to do any job. Welfare should be restructured so that any able bodied man or woman would accept these jobs that Americans don't want. If only you Ivory Tower Liberal East coasters were able to see the huge influx of illegals here in Mexifornia, and if they were directly threating your job perhaps you'd change your tune. When the middle class has been dissolved and we're in a new and improved "digital feudal system" it will be too late to return. Look at the recent elections in France and and Australia's immigration policy, and how lenient is Mexico to the folks that cross their borders?

  Though I'm a compassionate liberal, I think I actually agree with the Rush-head there in the other posting (though not necessarily the "eat my SUV" tone), if you replace "welfare should be restructured" with "minimum wage."

  Given that the biggest advocates for immigration in Washington are home builders and service industry, I'd love to see them face a market force that must earn US-standard wages rather than 3rd world ones.
