No, not the way I understand it. Unions (Dems) are the biggest anti-illegals group in the country. Rich Republicans are often villified for allowing illegals "for the cheap labor". So without getting into the deeper parts of your post, I think you have it a bit backwards on the political parties.

But in reality it's probably NOT a right/left issue for most. It is probably a "does it directly affect me"/"not in my back yard" issue.

Illegal means illegal, but that doesn't mean I don't want them to earn citizenship either. Just do it right like those from the orient. Maybe it's too hard, but again...illegal is illegal. That being said I can totally understand why they DO come here illegally and I can't blame them.
