Reply #9: Isn't it obvious?

[Vinnie From Indy]

This whole National Guard securing the border thing is just a multi-pronged program to use illegal immigrants as a ruse to build an internal security infrastructure. The other prongs include a new lucrative channel for Halliburton and other BushCo sponsored companies to raid the treasury for billions of dollars to pay for imaginary and sub-standard monitoring equipment. The initiative is also a age old bit of scapegoating and misdirection. All of the millions of blue collar jobs and manufacturing jobs that have been lost over the last decade due to corporate America's abandonment of the American middle and lower classes has to be blamed on somebody. What better group of powerless, voiceless people than immigrants.

The simple solution is to hold employers responsible for their hires.

Don't be fooled! Don't buy the biggest lie of the debate - "Illegals are doing the work Americans DON'T WANT TO DO". Total BS. The massive illegal immigration problem America faces is not an accident nor is it anything less than a way for corporate America to turn back the clock on one hundred years of gains made by working Americans and unions. BushCo also views living wages and workplace safety as "quaint" and "obsolete" 20th century notions.
