I think there is a speeding problem in this country. People blatantly exceed the speed limit with no regard to our driving laws. There are more than 40,000 people killed in the US every year in automobile accidents. I don't care that people drive -- I care that they do it legally.
All this is by way of saying that illegal immigration is a less significant issue than politicians are making it out to be. It's another version of gay marriage, used to divert public attention from more significant issues, and from issues that don't have easy answers (such as the war, the economy, the education gap between the US and other nations, the healthcare industry, etc) . Don't buy into it.
