I was born in 1987. Ronald Reagan signed an amnesty bill in in 1986. And he didn't secure our borders, neither have the 3 US presidents after him. That means that America's borders haven't been secured at any time in my life. Illegal immigrants can't legally vote, but their children born in the United States are American citizens. And illegal immigrants have a very high birth rate. I think American politicians don't want to take a strong stance against illegal immigration, either because they support illegal immigration, they think there are to many of them to do anything at this point, or because they don't want to offend their children. 57% of illegal immigrants in the US are from Mexico, & 24% are from other Latin American countries. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/bg1936.cfm So 81% of the illegal immigrants in the United States are Latin Americans. I think the larger the Hispanic population in the US gets the less will be done to stop illegal immigration.
