President Bush continues to focus on Iraq, while ignoring the growing illegal immigration crisis reaching critical mass in the United States.

As Bush uses all his political capital to back his troop surge in Iraq, small towns throughout our nation are trying -- with difficulty -- to cope with the thousands of illegal workers who are invading their streets.

Meanwhile, our president, Congress and federal and state courts do nothing to help the elected officials and citizens of these small towns U.S.A. fend off an invasion that affects every accept of their daily lives.

Illegals workers roaming their streets

In towns like Hazleton, Pa., Herndon, Va. and Baltimore, Md., citizens watch as the number of illegal aliens swell with groups of day laborers seeking employment and roaming their streets like an army of beggars.

Instead of our president demanding that the Mexican government take their citizens back and share some of their oligarchy's wealth with them, the citizens of the U.S. are strapped with the responsibility to provide jobs, education, medical care and incarceration for millions of non-citizens.

In reality, we are being forced to defuse a revolution that would surely come to pass, if the Mexican government were forced to reclaim its 12-million-plus displaced citizens.

People are wary

It's hard to understand why Bush, who ran as a conservative Republican, mocks and denigrates a group like the Minutemen, who were formed out of the necessity to protect our borders because Homeland Security refused to.

Especially, when every day ordinary citizens are becoming wary of the financial and cultural burdens Bush and Congress are putting on them, so a few wealthy corporations can benefit from cheap labor and a fragile Mexican oligarchy can survive.

It will do little to help the Republican Party in the upcoming 2008 presidential election and much to hurt the long-term health and political landscape of our country.
