Immigration was the topic of the week.
That got me thinking about numbers. There are 12 million illegal workers in the country now. Bush wants a guest worker program to legalize them.
In 2008 millions of baby boomers will start cashing in their chips. We'll get a new crop every year until 2025. Unfortunately, boomers haven't produced enough replacement taxpayers to see them through their greedy geezer years.
The obvious answer is go outside the farm system and sign Mexican free agents. The president should call them guest taxpayers.

Heard on TV that the illegals receive more from taxes than they pay. Welfare etc.

Illegal workers keep the minimum wage low which is exactly what
many politicians and business owners in this country want.
It's easy to blame the Mexicans, but American employers all over are hiring illegals quite willingly.
Illegal drug sales require a seller and a buyer. So does the trade
in illegal workers.
