#1 Dems want illegals because they see loyal votes,

#2 Republicans want illegals for cheap labor for business,

#3 The businesses can pay dirt wages and let "society" pay for health care, it doesn't come out of their bottom line,

#4 Unions see declining membership and see organizing them and getting their union dues, the unions just want revenue for their organization,

#5 Personal observation, how can attracting the lowest educated, least skilled to our country be good for us? IF the average illegal makes $10/hour (going rate at Home Depot in SoCal, and in some affluent areas $15/hour). Just how much do they pay in taxes to educate their kids at 6,000-$7,000/year/kid? Answer: they don't. How about medical, police, fire, flood control, roads.

We as a country are debasing our society. For those of you in Rio Linda, "debasing" means going to the lowest common demoninator.
