In order to be a good liberal I have to see the "Human Rights" issue more than the overwhelming reasons illegal immigration is not good for the country.

Unfortunately, in order to be a good little liberal you have to accept ridiculous arguments concerning illegal immigration. Sorry, I can't be a good little liberal. What AlterNet, TheNation and other rags don't tell you is that the majority of real people that consider themselves liberals are against illegal immigration. Many conservatives are too, regardless of what a rich conservative Republican says (They do the work nobody else wants to do). One guy, Max Blumenthal basically says if you disagree you are either a racist, skinhead, Militiamen, Neo-Nazi, blah blah blah (No shit!). Well, they is a little truth to it, but it's slanted to frame everyone who does not accept the influx of illegal aliens must be a flaming Nazi hate monger. "Hell, I don't want to be branded a Hater by my liberal friends." Gotcha! It's the same freaking tactic conservative freaks and wing-nuts use to accept patently absurd arguments (Do I smell Hegelian Dialectic?). Great job supporting the influx of illegal aliens under the guise of progressive liberals everywhere (While serving the cause of cheap labor for our corporate masters and ahemm repungnicans.

I find it comical establishment liberals and conservatives each take advantage of these unfortunate people as cheap labor from each side of the argument. I also find it farcical that they are, in politically correct jargon, referred to as "Undocumented Workers/Aliens" when in many cases they are using forged documents to gain employment. They are heavily documented, yet falsely. To go one step further many are having children here who gain citizenship by virtue of birth who become the only legal members of the family, who, incidentally can't work, but can burden an already troubled system.

The Liberal Media seems to have discovered Lou Dobbs. Lou is pratically the only person in the Media addressing the impact of illegal immigration. Of late he has said illegal aliens from Mexico bring leprosy and threating the health and safety of American school children. While leporosy is an ancient scourge, it may not be the epidemic he claims although it would be a concern, especially if the children of illegal immigrants are attending school without immunizations required by Health Departments. It stands to reason it would place others at risk, namely other children of immigrants.

Note to supporters of the "Undocumented Workers" crap. Will you continue to support them if they steal your identity? Yea, leprosy is treatable, so you'll not mind contracting it from your gardener. I'm sure if you are laid off work because it's cheaper to employ an undocumented worker you'll be okay, your saving will help. We socially conscience liberals can feel okay taking the moral high ground because 1) The liberal press said it's the right position to take; 2) It doesn't affect me (yet). We can be as reprehensible as a Christian Fundamentalist in so doing but not hindered by the stigma of "fundamentalist intolerance."

These aliens are also impacting the employment of legal minorities which are already citizens of the country. Part of the reason they are here in due to NAFTA, which Clinton signed. The real human issue is getting Mexico to address their economy and creating jobs. The Political Elite of Mexico are white Spaniards who view the idigenous natives of Mexico as they're version of the "N-Word" because they are predominately the people they don't want.

Fact is that Dobbs is FOR legal immigration and his wife and children are Mexican-American. Does the Establishment Left tell this story? No, I haven't seen it in our favorite lefty rags. Many on the left are trying to paint Dobbs as a racist while not telling you about his family. I'm sure it could be painted Mrs. Dobbs is suffering domestic terrorism from a rabid isolationist, xenophobic madman by the Left.

You can bet your Ass Democrats and Republicans are going to continue to shove this issue down our collective throats. No doubt we'll be interned (built by Halliburton no doubt) in a retirement facility with these underpaid, "undocumented" people wiping a gringo's butt because they'll be a sliver of a middle class and the former middle class will be wiping the asses of the wealthy corporate people who previously took your house and job. We can feel good about throwing the country away and ignoring the real issues these poor people face in Mexico and the US. All for cheap labor, which is basically what the politico wants at our expense.

I'm sure if you flow-chart the issue Conservative and Liberal streams lead to the same ocean. From my vantage point it looks as if the political side is tag teaming us with the "Good Cop, Bad Cop" crap. Don't be fooled.
