Conservatives (or at least what passes for Conservatism these days), don't seem to have too good a handle on how to make themselves popular. Instead of ranting continuously about Obamacare (does Fox News ever shut up about it ?), which everyone might NEED in the future, they should battling tooth and nail against Obama's immigration plans to keep millions of illegal aliens in the US, thereby swiping jobs away from millions of unemployed Americans.
The job market problem is major, but there are many other aspects to consider. First and foremost, is the simple reality that this is far more than just an immigration problem. It is a WAR being waged by Mexico (primarily), against the US, for the purpose of stealing America's wealth, as it has been doing for decades. Although not as bad as a World War II against Nazi Germany in terms of guns, bombs, and destruction, and people killed, in another way it is WORSE than World War II.
First, it must be realized that this is an entirely different type of WAR than World War II was. Although both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan would have liked to send troops to America, and conquer it, as they did with China, France, Denmark, et al, they feared the heavy armament of the American people, and they had all they could handle in Europe and the Far East. In any case, unlike the current Mexican WAR, they did not have many (or any) of their people entering the USA to fight here and take America's wealth.
Mexico, however, without firing any (or many) shots, DOES send their people here to conquer (economically & politically) America, and they have been doing just that for a very long time. After their cheap labor "troops" arrive, they quickly acquire jobs, and wire the American dollars back to Mexico (remittances$$$$$). Thus, after being extracted out of the US economy, in their paychecks (or cash off the books), it then gets re-inserted into the Mexican economy, by way of purchases made in Mexican stores (AKA the Mexican economy).
In recent years, these remittances$$ have totaled $25-26 Billion/year, just to Mexico alone, and account for Mexico's second largest source of income. Combined with their other way of sacking America (human services payouts$$ via false documentation & the anchor baby racket), this looting of America's wealth is the #1 source of income. Together, these total even much more than the $25 Billion/year from the remittances$$ haul. The Vikings would be envious.
This outrageous situation should be the #1 focus of everyone in America right now, both Republicans & Democrats (I'm an Independent), who should all be up in arms against it, instead of blabbering about Obamacare. And anyone who supports this invasion of America, and humungeous looting of America's wealth, ought to be arrested for treason and/or sedition.
