The Illegal alien issue as presented is a hoax. The Fact that Congress is willing to spend so much money on a fence that won't do very much and then say there aren't enough resources to collect the large fines from employers who encouraged the workers to cross illegally by suppling jobs is totally disingenuous. I go to a yearly event where the federal government has plenty of resources to patrol and ( 2 years ago ) received $250,000. in pot fines for a weeks work while double billing the event organizers for the privilege of doing so, but they can't spend any effort enforcing current immigration laws regarding corporate employers.     It shows me this is a government of, for, and by the corporations, and against the individual who wishes to live here free of intrusion of our personal lives.     They will protect us from (or persecute us for) inhaling a natural plant (unless it is corporate Tobacco) but they won't protect us from people who will under cut our living wage while increasing our social tax and insurance costs.
