Why the thread title. "Bends Over" to who??? Illegal immigration activists? Since the federal gov't handles deportation, and is doing barely anything on that front, I'd say its being assertive to regulate illegal aliens. The "bending over" people are the ones who whine about hispanics and illegal aliens yet do nothing to change the situation.
Because we should be making it LESS desirable for people to come here illegally. They should not be able to get licenses without a valid visa, they should not get education and medical benefits, they should fear getting arrested for anything because they should be deported immediately upon discovering their illegal status. Next people like you are going to say, "Well, they're here, might as well give them Social Security numbers." Next thing you know, they're citizens. And since no one is doing a damn thing to actually patrol the borders, they're going to keep coming here and there will never be a point where we say 'Enough is enough.'
Actually, the US citizenry has already resoundingly stated that enough is enough. I love how this is always described as the "debate" over illegal immigration. There is no debate when most of America wants the same thing!
