It's ILLEGAL immigration

Now the mainstream media is trying to twist this around a debate about LEGAL immigration. The produce polls in order to garner sympathy. There are estimated 11 million illegal aliens. That's an epidemic.

" Americans are willing to do any job, just so long as you pay them enough. Illegals work at $2.50/hr below the mininum wage. Businesses get cheap labor and Americans are stuck with healthcare costs when uninsured illegals go to the emergency room.

Just under one-third of them said Congress and President Bush are doing a good job on the issue.
