We hare aggressively attacking our illegal problem here. To his
credit, Obama is deporting people at a record pace and the local cops
are feeding that machine.
Actually the biggest thing that has cut down on illegals is the
economy. They come here for jobs and there is a white guy doing them
now.

Which "white guys?"
Those supporting cheap illegal labor have for years been saying "white
guys" wouldn't do those jobs.
Seem to remember you saying that.
Probably true when you consider the low wages, and that most "white
guys" don't get pushed around by the implicit employer threat of
deportation.
Bet it's harder to handle the "white guys." Probably getting paid more
than illegals too.
Kind of breaks my heart thinking the wealthy have to pay more for their
maids, nannies, and landscapers.
Must really suck to be wealthy.
BTW, I went to grade school in classes with the majority being Mexican-
Americans.
I used the term "white people" to a teacher once as a distinction
between me and some of my Mexican-American classmates.
She took me to task, and told me they were "white people" too.
You can slice color how you want, but I took her advice to heart.
My point is you had had my teacher, you might have said "They come here
for jobs and there is a legal guy doing them."
It's got nothing to do with color of skin.
It's about legality.
And no, I'm not calling you a "racist."
