 HEY!
 
Not *all* of us!!
 
and, btw, I'm not cross with those sneaking across the border. I'm cross with 
our letting them do it simply because we (ie those in charge) would prefer to 
let that happen in order to keep wages down. 
 
And, having a fortress mentality--I am not sure I understand what is really 
wrong with that. Mexico has that on its other side...so, the 'fairness'piece in 
me says that if Mexico is going to say we should be free and open to its 
citizens, then Mexico ought to be free and open to those south of its border.
In addition, sure--it would be (and will) nice when everyone in the world gets 
to be the middle class. I'm still not sure that the US has to drop down in 
order for that to happen...and watching and guarding our borders (maybe helping 
those who are caught sneaking in to figure out a way to get in legally? I'm 
sure if we create a lucrative contract for that, Halliburton would be willing 
to do it...)

But infrastructure investment means... higher taxes and more government. The 
anti-immigrant crowd is strongly opposed to higher taxes and more government.
