Why do both parties seem willing to let 12 million illegals join the U.S.?

I'm out of the country for an extended period, and would like to know about the immigration debate. I figured the Republicans would take stern measures against illegal immigration, while Democrats would have hippie sit-ins and talk about how the illegals are all hard woking grape pickers.

However, from the few articles I was able to gather, it seems like both parties are just content to let in 12 million people, although they may have to pay a penalty.

Is no one worried about permanently changing the racial composition of the U.S.? How about wages? Isn't letting in all these people just an excuse to keep wages low?

What are the real issues being debated? Has anyone seriously broached the very non-PC topic of maintaining the current racial composition in the U.S., or are politcians too gutless to speak about the obvious?

Answer:
The dems want to get 12-20 million (plus another 20-60 million family members of the illegals) as new dem voters. The illegals will likely vote for the party that gives them the most benefits like welfare, food stamps, free medical, housing, etc. As soon as they become citizens they would be fools to keep working - they could just go on SSI or some other assistance and live far better then if they were still in mexico or wherever.

The repubs are selling us out for their big business and chamber of commerce buddies. This influx of cheap labor will only last until they are citizens then as the illegals follow the step above for welfare the next crop of illegals will be welcomed by our politicians. There must be some huge kickbacks coming in for this sellout of us real Americans!

We need to vote out EVERY senator who voted for this thing!!!
Because they are taking the easy way out instead of making the hard correct decision. But we, the voter won't let them, trust me!
Because neither party has yet adopted the ideology of facism.
Hispanic vote
I do not understand it either it is as if our voices do not matter. The politicians seem determined to let these law breakers enjoy the benefits of citizenship.

As I watch them matching carrying Mexican flags, speaking Spanish and making demands, my thought was they should be sprayed with Raid. That is what you do when you look up one day and see foreign creatures overtaking home. Or better yet what better chance to round them all up and send them to Iraq!!

It makes me sick to see all these non English speaking, disease carrying, illiterate, law breakers here. The thought of them being rewarded for breaking our laws, creating chaos in our land and then to even consider allowing them to stay here is unimaginable.
Because both hate America and both support special interests which are against American interests.

Where are my questions, Yahoo censors?

i can see your point i lived in the us for a while and was a non legal and was not a grape picker how ever since 9/11 it is almost imposable to live there as a non legal and the U.S need the work force in every industrial most Europeans have left the country mostly because we have work here and don't need the hassle how ever Mexicans see America as there home as do people from other poorer countries who have family and Friends and work an even a life, now here is were it gets good can a Democrat or Republican say no-to these people whos family and frends carry millions of votes,
Our voices were heard, for a moment. The bill stalled.

We have to continue to inform them of our desires!

I've written my Senators . . . both of which voted NO.

We absolutely need to clean HOUSE. Anyone in there who has been there for 12 consecutive years or more MUST go.

Integrity will not be restored until they understand that their job is to represent US.
