I have personally known several English and Scots as well as German and French who were living and working illegally in this country (in the restaurant trade you meet all types) and they never got the scrutny that Hispanics do, and I have known a good many Hispanics who were far harder working and a greater asset to work with than a good many citizens here.

If hundreds of thousands of white, English speaking Canadians were sneaking across the border looking for low wages that no one else wants instead of brown skinned, Spanish speaking Hispanics, you wouldn't here a peep about it from the hard right wing conservatives and Republicans.

Want to stop illegal aliens from Mexico crossing over....spend some of the billions we spend on states that hate us on Mexico and help them to develop their economies more so that everybody has a chance. Hell do that here...we are well on our way to becoming a two tier class system as it is.

It's no longer a bill. It's a law and the funding has been allocated.
