So when the water gets up to your chin it's no big deal because you've never done anything about it in the past.

Point taken. But the targeting of illegal immigrants seems to have gained traction only since 9/11...and I suspect that it's partially rooted in xenophobia and racism. I'm not sure illegal immigration is as big of a problem as some make it out to be. After all, the 9/11 bastards came to this country legally.

Since 9/11 the numbers of illegals has grown damn near exponentially.
