Interesting, isn't it. Every poll suggest that an overwhelming percentage of US Citizens EXPECT their elected officials to enforce immigration laws and "protect" our borders. I guess the electorate believe that we need to enforce and manipulate only those with an education? It would appear that both democrat and republican are willing to turn a blind eye to those who "do the jobs that Americans are not longer willing to do", but enforce others? Their consistent excuse is that convenience outweighs principle (hmmmm.. Abortionists use the same argument, don't they?). IMHO, the problem is that most federal representatives lack principles. But then again, I also believe that they reflect the attitudes of my beloved country and those that they represent in this new millennium. Perhaps if we begin to stick to our convictions instead of caving to fashion and opportunity, and have an attention span longer than (apparently) CNN and MSNBC believe we have; we might just be able to resolve these (and many other) issues.
