But I do know for sure that citing one that breaks the law is <strong>not</strong> a comprehensive analysis. Fair enough- who knows if the study is accurate and comprehensive.

Here we are the land of opportunity ... by whatever means. Steal someone's identity? They are just doing the work the SS holder won't do. Steal someone's kid? Well, we don't care about our laws, why should they? Kennedy/McCain working hard on a new senate bill which has weaker enforcement provisions and a quicker and easier path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. McCain will never get my vote despite his former service to our country for he sure as hell doesn't seem to care about protecting it anymore. What do we expect?
