Oh of course we hear lots about the troops and their dilemma in Iraq but not near enough; while the Lou Dobbs of this world are preoccupied with the illegals...

The war is not popular so this is a diversion. People fear the unknown and there is a fear the Latino culture will become the majority in America.
We need many of these people whether we want to admit it or not. Our country is based on someone else doing someone else's work. Even if you send the criminals back home they would be back into the states before the drivers get back home.

Not all illegal aliens come to the United States to work at jobs American Citizens don't want, some are potential terrorist such as the conspirators that were plotting an attack in Fort Dix and the attempted attack in Seattle Washington on New Years Eve 2000.
Please don't be so damn gallant about this issue. Every other country has better border patrols than the United States and that is disconcerting.

I believe we have the brain capacity to think about more than one thing. I think you may be seeing a greater focus on illegal immigration by the media right now because of the bill that is being debated. That doesn't mean we've forgotten the troops.

Hardly. Americans are perfectly capable of focusing on more than one situation at a time.
Both issues involve preserving the security of our nation - what could be more important? While the troops fight overseas to keep foreign terrorists off our shores, the foreign invasion continues at home of a people who wrongly believe a large part of our country is rightfully theirs. (Read the history books.) Both threaten our country's security and our way of life. Both must be dealt with swiftly.

I dont think that anyone has forgotten our troops. We can be concerned and involved with more than one thing at a time.

Absolutely not. Iraq is still the number one issue. Especially for those of us who have family members there.
