Just stop by the health department any day to see who is paying for all the anchor babies.

"Rutherford County’s population has grown to an estimated 257,048, nearly double the some 180,000 counted by the 2000 Census."

Please help me with this fuzzy math!

It's american greed that has brought them here. Don't be mad at them; be mad at the americans who employ them.

American Greed? Try again, its the Mexican government's corruption that has brought them here. Don't believe me, just look at the ones taht are here. They are not the light skinned mexicans. They are the indigenous mexicans / indians, peasent class that come here. Its the lower class and race from mexico.

One way you tell of a country's success is all the people that are trying to get into it. Look at all the contries where people are trying to escape and break out. This is proof of the great American Experiment.

Farmall, part of your comments makes sense, and then there's the part that is just plain ignorant. I'll leave it at that.

Regardless farmall, if americans didn't employ them when they got here, they would quit coming.

I agree, but the federal govt. won't allow the states to enforce their laws. And no I am not linking this to AZ. I am meaning Tn, if you get caught employing someone in TN that is not legal, then you are supposed to lose your business license. The state won't even consider this because it is considered federal jurisdiction. It takes A state to assert its rights like AZ.

Farmall, it's not up to the federal government to allow states to enforce their laws. Our laws are based on jurisdiction. The states do not have jurisdiction to make, change or enforce federal law. The federal government does not have the authority to allow states to enforce federal law.

Damn that pesky Constitution.

We used to be able to enforce our laws, strange how everything now falls under the interstate clause.
