Why does this whole Immigration thing matter all of a sudden?

Suga Foot:
From what I understand, it was a few Senators (or Congressmen) that brought up the issue because there is an upcoming election?

But I don't understand why this is such a big deal all of a sudden, and the average person didn't care about it a year ago.  Personally I don't think it's really a big deal because it has no affect on me.  Every country has undocumented immagrants.  I think some stupid things are being done and said about this whole issue. 

I'd love to see the Native Americans start protesting and just telling everyone to leave lol.

Thank you, that's exactly what it is.  What ever happen to the gay marriage debate? After the 2004 election, that debate has basically died.  Right now the image of the Republicans isn't so good right now, thanks to the many different problems the President and it's Administration has gone through, so one Republican wrote this nasty ass bill that was not only tough on illegal immigration( which isn't a bad idea) but it was going to take a lot of people's civil liberties away plus it would make a lot of people that help illegal immigrants criminals.  It was because of that bill that people got a bit angry and began protesting.  That's just politics, it's all about your party's image so that you can get in/stay in power.

Cause those damn dirty spics are spray-painting murals on the walls, and Real American finds them unpleasant to look at.

interestingly, if you look at the ethnic breakdown of mexicans, it's:
60% are european/indian mix
20% indian
19% european
1% other

all the native americans in north america are pretty much in mexico.
