The Democrats claim to want to ‘return to civility.’ But when did they practice it? If you are going to return to something don’t you have to have gone there first? Larry Elder has written a piece that makes this point.

Illegal Immigration Benefits Politicians, Employers, and Union Bosses, and Hurts Everyone Else
Donna Brazile’s column in Wednesday’s (2/6/13) “The Citizen”, www.citizen.com, is typical of liberal writings, an attempt to mislead the American people. Brazile inappropriately interweaves legal and illegal immigration benefits and falsifies immigration enforcement effectiveness.
Immigration laws have not been changed because the American people believe in the rule of law and in real “Fairness”. It would be wrong for people to benefit from their illegal immigrations. And, it would not be FAIR to the people trying to come to this country legally (often waiting years or decades).
Brazile tries to assign the benefits that legal immigrants bring to this country (e.g., working legally without burdening taxpayers, starting businesses, paying taxes, assimilating into our country and culture) to illegal immigrants. That, of course, is false. On average each illegal immigrant annually costs taxpayers about $11,000 worth of medical, housing, food, and other benefits intended for needy Americans citizens.
