Why are we talking about illegal immigration right now? Because all the conservative talkshow hosts are talking about illegal immigration right now.

Now we have to ask ourselves why they're talking about illegal immigration when they've ignored it for all these decades. --Because it's a distraction from the War and elections are coming up. In other words, it's the only thing they have to talk about because everything else is going so badly. It's the one issue they can draw a supportive emotional response from and get voters all worked up about.

No one has any intention at all to do anything about illegal immigration beyond the most gratuitous gesture--and only then because they've spent the last several months shooting their mouth off about it.

They could stop illiegal immigration almost overnight. But no one with wealth and power wants that to happen. It's one of the reasons they have all that wealth and power to begin with.
