Thanks Reg,

That was enlightening. I was talking to a friend who was from El Salvadore. He is Democrat but can see some of the problems with having this non policy for illegal aliens we have here. "You don't need to seal the borders, just stop the work and it will come to a halt.". It's not rocket science what we have here.

I will not vote for Obama Reg and here's why.Here is the big 3 at the moment. Information comes from http://www.bridesdecide.com. I'm actually employed by them so I know the information is accurate :)
