I totally understand that this is the obvious answer, but I would have to think that someone in either party would stand up and say no.
Increase the deficit, no and a whole lot of arguing.
Allow work permits for illegals, sure why not?
It's just further proof to me that there isn't one side or the other anymore.
Hispanics are a demographics issue. They're around 16% of our population. So let's say one party woos them and they break 75%/25%. Well (75%-25%)*16% = 8% -- which is well beyond the margin for most US elections.
Similar analysis explains why we cannot fix Medicare or Social Security.
But hispanics aren't our ultimate class to coddle. We've got two up-and-coming classes that will need even more attention:
1) People who pay no taxes versus people who carry most of the load.
2) Fat people, who now represent 66% of americans. When people talk about imposing insurance penalties on obese people, I laugh my ass off. Not only will that not happen -- that group will be a protected class well within the next 5-10 years.
