More and more, the “democratic” party (and America in general, for that matter) has moved toward the ideology of socialism. Socialism applied to the arena of illegal immigration means that the democrats want, on the whole, anything from few restrictions on the illegal immigrant to complete amnesty for the illegal immigrant. The democrats want the government to help the illegal immigrant. For sure, they believe their actions help the illegal immigrant.
What this creates, though, is anything but help for the illegal immigrant. What do I mean by this? Glad you asked…
The Bush administration’s argument for amnesty is that illegal immigrants are willing to do jobs that Americans won’t do. Well, that’s just not true: if you pay a man enough, he’ll do just about anything. [Pick the cotton seeds out of cow manure? Sure, I’ll do that…for $150,000 a year. (See what I mean?)] The problem is that illegal immigrants are willing to work for lower pay than what the average American will work for. So the democrats’ answer is this: encourage the illegal immigrant to work in this country for lower wages. But this inevitably creates a caste system: the lowest caste is now the illegal immigrant who is willing to work labor-intensive jobs for a wage that Americans will not.
What we're left with is a generally educated middle- and upper-class (i.e. Americans) that are unwilling to work hard labor for mere scraps, and a generally uneducated lower-class (i.e. illegal immigrants) that is willing to work hard labor for mere scraps. Isn't that a caste system?
You think those in favor of amnesty realize this?

Churchill, Islam, and Men Who Meant What They Said
A few words today from the great Winston Churchill:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the infence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Winston Churchill, The River War, Vol. II, 1st ed. (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899), p. 248-250.
