What are you getting at, tw?

You know why Israel wants to keep the Palestinians out. It's because a small subset of their numbers are trying to blow the Israelis up.

You also know that the US has a love/hate relationship with illegal immigrants. While they do provide cheap labor, they are a burden on our society without paying into it.

Is your question "why now?" Or is it simply "why?"

I don't know why it's a big problem now. Probably because since 9/11 a lot of people are afraid. Even though the terrorists came in through Canada, the Mexicans are easier to be afraid of. They don't speak English and they look different.
