Illegal Immigration: WTF is wrong with politicians

It's amazing how fast we can be sold down the river.

In a few short years, illegal immigration is politically a non-issue. The Republicans want cheap labor, and Democrats want...what? I don't even know what the Dems want, but they seem to be advocating illegal immigration.

Party politics? Many traditionally Democratic constituencies have roots to Mexico, but legal Mexican immigrants don't want the illegals here. La Raza? They have a stated purpose to retake part of the US for Mexico...but are they *that* strong a voice in the Democratic party?

What about the will of the American people? I've never met *anyone* who says illegal immigration should be ignored or accepted, and in fact most Americans (even legal immigrants) want illegal immigration to end.

The anti-Anti-Illegal Immigration crowd has a loud voice, but small numbers, which means that American citizens can do something about this.

Support and use websites that advocate against illegal immigration:

Research local ordinances that fly in the face of immigration law - the Los Angeles Safe Harbor laws come to mind. I'm willing to give it a shot. Anyone care to help? Once these laws are found, what can we do about them?
