Eric Cantor (Chief Deputy Majority Whip)
You will notice no specific mention of Mexico, nor any "hatred" of Mexicans, illegal immigrants, etcetera; only a concern over the undeclared invasion of the USA, presumably from both south and north.
More specifically, there's this, from Marion Edwyn Harrison, esq, President of the Free Congress Foundation. The heart of his commentary is:
What, then, is the essentially unpublicized problem? Answer: An inundation of litigation in the Federal Judiciary the geographic jurisdiction of which includes the Mexican Border, proximate and not-so-proximate areas.
Judge George P. Kazen, United States District Court, sitting in Laredo, Texas, sums it up: “The sad truth is that America has an insatiable hunger for illegal drugs and cheap labor. The [Mexican Border] is a gateway for both . . .” [emphasis added] ... Criminal felony - felonies, the serious stuff, not just unlawfully crossing the Border! - per authorized United States District Judgeship vary: 2005 national average, fewer than 100; in Southern California, almost 200; in Arizona, nearly 300; in Southern Texas, more than 300; in Western Texas, approaching 400; in New Mexico, about 400. ...the foregoing figures relate to Federal cases - that is, alleged crimes that have made the way from apparent grounds for arrest to arrest, to full investigation, to prosecutorial evaluation, to indictment (when a felony), to prosecution, to guilty plea or trial....nobody knows, and experts only can approximate, how many such unlawful entries and felony crimes are committed as to which there is no arrest, much less full prosecution.
