#4 Why would anyone want to move to the US anyway? Our economy is in a depression, there are no jobs, our air and water are polluted so badly they kill millions of people a day, we hate anybody who doesn't look like us, there is no opportunity, everything is awful ...

#5 If anything the illegal immigrant thing should have us confronting the "living wage" and "minimum wage" mindset because a lot of liberals seem to think everyone but illegals deserves these things. IF we were to demand on living wage and minimum wage law enforcement the demand for illegals would dry up and the problem would go away.

#6 slightly better enforcement on the border, Jobsite enforcement, falling construction, increasing automation in agribusiness and the downturn in economic activity are all parts of the equation.
