4. You're right.
But I think it has been going on for many years.

Are we supposed to do something about it?

5. The articles suggest that the vans were overloaded
12 or 15 passengers in a SUV? Given the driving conditions the last few days, an overloaded SUV is more likely to end up in an accident leading to capture of illegal immigrants. I'd say it's fairly common for situations like this to arise. We had a bad accident around here a few years back when a van carrying something like 15 farmworkers rolled over on the highway.

9. Big Issue
This could be the Big Issue, along with Iraq, that spells defeat for the repubs in coming elections. By doing nothing whatsoever about this huge illegal immigration exodus, the shrub is hurting his party big time. People, dems and repubs, are sick and tired of open borders when we have folks out there who would attack us.

12. except the Dems don't have the stomach to get out front on it
A tuff on illegal immigration Democrat would be very hard to beat in a Gubernatorial or national election.

The backlash is here. The Dems either get out in front of it or get steamrolled. It's good policy and good politics.

11. Being a cab driver I see illegals every day. Here in west Michigan
We have a high number of employed illegals. The amazing thing is if they are illegal and get into an accident they run from the scene, because of fear of being deported. I have seen this on two separate occasions. One where two cars hit each other at an intersections and both vehicles were left and drivers ran their separate ways. The second time a spanish man hit a women and her car went up by a tree, the man checked to see if she was OK and he took of running, another man started chasing him down the street. Since the women he hit was OK it was the funniest damn think I had ever seen. One man chasing another man down the street after an auto accident. The whole scene reminded me of a Benny Hill episode where Benny and the bald guy chase the ladies around to that music. The sad thing is the Mexican guy was running for his freedom.
