Letter: Many factors at play in illegal immigration

The illegal immigration, border and security issues that our government refuses to address on our behalf is the effect.

The cause is a complex economic model that includes the census, the graduated income tax, the birthrate, the Federal Reserve Bank, the national debt, life expectancy, the Baby Boomers retirement, Social Security and related program promises, middle class incomes, a 50-year economic cycle relating to industrial-based light manufacturing jobs in America, our positioning America with cheap labor to take advantage of the opportunity presented by emerging consumer nations such as China and India, the global economy, the establishment of the North, Central and South American economic bloc, free trade and last but not least the New World Order that has been spoken openly about since the first President Bush.

That's about it in a nutshell.
