That's a bit strong when major portions of our enforcement arm are actively not enforcing the law because it's demanded by business and therefore citizens. That is to say, there's 2 big reasons for illegal immigration: 1.) There's millions of jobs just waiting for immigrants that US consumers demand but US workers are not willing to fill, and 2.) There's weak law enforcement due to #1. Let me put it another way: Few Americans oppose the status quo because it keeps our costs from rising and our standard of living up. Kicking illegals out would ruin that. Enforcing the laws would force Americans to make a hard decision and, as a country, we don't like doing that. We prefer to be lied to and cheated as long as we have our beer and SUVs. [Voice of Montgomery Burns] "Let Joe Sixpack have his 'tar tar' sauce.
