It's unfair to ALL parties concerned and the very notion of 'competition' has been bastardized by business - big, small, multinational - by including undocumented, cheap labor in the equation. Doing so drives down the wage base for everybody, even without a WMT. It's a disgrace. Think about it, NAFTA went into affect for trade with Mexico...yet Mexico, not content to have our manufacturing jobs, now wants, basically, NO BORDERS at all. Neither president gives a damn about the quality of life of their citizens. How can Latinos become a part of the 'ownership society' if we can't educate their children??

I was raised by an immigrant, I'm a minority and I'm a liberal so it goes against my very nature to speak out against immigration but, under these circumstances, I have to.
