text: why did united states allow mexican immigrates come through the border two decades ago? it has gone too far with politics.  i beleive we should all have identification to be in this country.  people who do not have proper i.d. can get away with breaking the law, like criminals, robbers, child ped., rape.  the law should stop them now, its time.  what do you think? twenty years ago was then, this is now, and the influx has increased to the point where it is now becoming a major issue.  it is estimated by 2010 some 14% of the us population will be mexican, and half of that illegal. an idea of the scope of the problem is that right now 25% of all automobile accidents in north carolina are caused by illegal mexican drivers.  we have id now. this is not the issue.  we do not need one more form of id which will be just as readily forged as social security cards. the problem is the willingness of government to tackle the issue. an example of disservice to america is that socialistic pig from massachussetts, ted kennedy, who is an open supporter of illegal imigration and should be evicted from the senate and jailed.  the borders need to be secured first to stop the mexican invasion, and then the issue of hiring illegals needs to be addressed.  the us is willing to send hundreds of thousands of troops to foreign lands to help the people there, so what about sending 100,000 troops to patrol our southern border?  that would put one solder every 31 feet.  arm them heavily and that should put a stop to the swarming hoardes of criminal immigrants sneaking into this country.
