Being cranky what makes you believe that it is the Democrats that would
do that. I thought it was the big corporate farms in California that
were supplying the buses to pickup the illegals into the US so they
could work on the corporate farms. At least that's what is happening
around here The Republicans are just pissed that a few got away

It's a little more than that. Republicans that are in businesses that hire illegals for sub-minimum wages (not just the farms) are the ones you're referring to. They hire the illegals, pay them very little, then call the Border Patrol if they ask for more wages or threaten to quit.
