You are seeing this dream come to reality and apparently you don't like it. Cheap, available labor has long been a Republican dream. Americans have second homes or retirement homes in Mexico so they can have affordable maids, cooks and gardeners.

Where our grandfather's pushed wheelbarrows, our parents raised us to push pencils. As we have lost our respect for hard work we have found a quick fix to having to pay for the value of labor. Doing this we have pushed David Ricardo's balance to over reward management and capital at the expense of labor and see this upset as validation of our parents turning us into a nation of pencil pushers.

When you say, <"Why can't they get this organized to make their own country like America. Why be a nation of parasites looking for an easy way out?" > I can only assume this is a rhetorical question? Surely you have looked at the differences in the educational systems and the variance of educational levels of the illegals you focus on. Those illegals are seldom doctors, lawyers, engineers or accountants. They are the wheelbarrow pushers our grandfather were.

The Republican pro business ideology has long held a sacred dream of achieving production without paying for the cost of labor involved in that production. This has led to technelogical innovation and been applauded by all but the Luddites. More recently, outsourcing and globalization has been the result along with turning the blind eye to illegals to achieve watered down labor costs here at home. The Republican mantra envies the low wages of China and glorifies the millions paid to corporate CEOs, CFOs, etc.

The priciple of balance is out of wack in the US. This is the danger facing our nation. And the Republican party is leading the charge to ultimate destruction. Those who give lip service to the protection of our borders from the traffic in illegals and unrestricted immigration are myopic and see only economic advantage. If you look closely, you will see a recapitualization of the fate of Atlantis.
