If they worked or lived with them all their life like I did they would see they are no better than US citizens in work ethic or morality..in fact they are worse because they are all automatic criminals.
Do liberals really care about these people or is it just a way to stick it to conservatives and get votes from illegals in fraudulent elections? Is amnesty this time just a way to get the former illegal vote?

The Republicans have been totally in charge while at least 7 million undocumented aliens have taken up residence in the US. They have not enfored the laws against employing illegal aliens. This would have cut the demand and the supply!
George W Bush, is the one talking amnesty. There's a story today about the border wall, and in his speech he mentions amnesty again.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12851381/
YUMA, Ariz. - "President Bush traveled Thursday to Arizona to refocus attention on his proposal for a guest-worker program and to witness first-hand federal efforts to control immigration....
After the president's tour, he was expected to give a speech aimed at driving home Monday night’s prime-time address calling for National Guard troops to help strengthen the border while giving illegal immigrants in the United States a chance at citizenship and allowing more foreigners to enter the country legally to work. to help sell his ideas, which face tough opposition in Congress."

If liberals get there way they will get a whole new and growing voting block once the liberals legalize them. Then the Democratic party will be the party of minorities blacks and latinos just as the republican party is the party of christian conservatives. It should be noted Karl Rove desperately wants this new voting block hence the presidents amnesty bills for illegals. Now it seems the Dem's will win this block of voters and eventually completely out number the republican voters.

I am not a liberal and I think both sides are paying a lot of lip service to illegal immigration while not doing much at all. Washington in general is out of touch and seemingly uninterested in the will of the American people on a variety of issues. If we are going to have our laws enforced it is going to have to be at the grass roots level with local and state referendums. However, to be fair to liberals, it is George Bush and several leading Republicans who keep saying we need a guest worker program in opposition to what the vast majority of Americans are saying they want.

Heres your answer..
Illegal Immigrants Distort Congressional Representation
and Federal Programs
Most Americans know that their representation in the U.S. House of Representatives is based on proportional representation as determined by the decennial Census. And, many Americans are aware that the Census takers try to count everybody residing in the country. But, most Americans have no idea that illegal immigrants and other foreigners who are not permanent residents are part of the calculation for the distribution of Congressional representatives. If the population of illegal aliens and other long-term foreign residents were inconsequential, this would not be an important issue. However, with an estimated 7 million illegal aliens in 2000, and many millions more today, this is a valid major concern.
Because illegal aliens should not even be in the country, and other residents such as foreign students are here only temporarily, it makes no sense to distribute Congressional seats as if these foreign nationals deserved representation the same as American citizens. On the basis of the current Census questionnaire, however, there is no way to determine if a foreign resident is legally or illegally in the country. But the Census does ask whether persons are U.S. citizens. It could also ask persons who are not U.S. citizens if they are legal permanent residents ("green card" holders). If Congress changed the system so that representation in the House of Representatives reflects the distribution of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, the Census Bureau could provide that information as readily as it provides the current data that is used in the apportionment of seats among the states.
As a result of the current incoherent system of allocating seats based on all persons counted in the Census, some Member of Congress represent many fewer U.S. citizens and permanent residents than others. Similarly, some states that have large numbers of illegal aliens and other non-citizens gain the advantage of additional representation in Congress at the expense of states that have fewer illegal aliens and non-citizens, since the total number in the House of Representatives is currently fixed by law at 435 members.
Besides the distortions in apportionment of representation among the states and in the number of citizens represented by each representative, the Census also causes distortions when it is used to allocate federal public assistance funds among the states. Because illegal aliens are not entitled to public welfare assistance, it makes no sense that they would be counted in the apportionment of federal funding.
Welfare funds, however, are available to legal permanent residents, with some restrictions. So, to determine the distribution of those funds, the Census Bureau, should be required by Congress to estimate the size of the population eligible for the benefits.
The Constitution might have to be amended to achieve a more proportional representation of U.S. citizens. The 14th Amendment, Section 2 states, "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." This has been interpreted to mean resident aliens should also be counted. However, the clear intent of the provision was to count persons who are permanent residents, and illegal aliens who are subject to deportation and foreign students or workers temporarily in the country do not meet that criterion.
Congress needs to enact a law that defines persons counted for purposes of apportionment as those permanently resident, and explicitly exclude illegal aliens and other nonimmigrants.

Because no intelligent citizen will vote for them, they NEED that illegal vote.

Once there are enough liberal in power, they will legalize illegal "voting rights" right after they legalize gay marriage, abortion and adultery in office. (you know who I'm talking to Bill Clinton)
