Oh….. I know. All of those coming into our country illegally or over staying their visas are just trying to take care of their families and seek opportunities to advance themselves. The problem is the United States of American is supposed to be a nation of laws. This means being color blind, ethnically blind, educationally blind, faith blind, and economically blind. The law is supposed to apply equally to all.
The current problems we have with illegal aliens, however, have mostly to do with those coming over the Mexican border with the United States. Yes, there is some problem along the Florida coast as well but it pales in comparison to the Mexican border problems. This must stop. Period. If necessary, I think the border must be militarized. Call it by any name you wish, but that is what it amounts to. Too bad if the Mexican government does not like this.
The United States this past month lost another 600,000 jobs. This brings the jobless and under employed numbers to about 23,000,000. So, the argument that illegals are just doing jobs that “Americans” won’t just does not fly. Under present circumstances, illegals are a burden we do not need. Just ask the state of California.
It is time to crack down on illegal border crossings, time to arrest and return to their home country any found to be in this country illegally, time to penalize employers that hire illegals, and not only time to allow but time to expect local law enforcement officials to become a part of this aggressive effort to regain control of our borders. If we do anything less, we are saying it is OK to break the laws of this country at will. This cannot continue.
Think about it. It is estimated there are over 10 million illegal aliens in this country. If all went home, many jobs would be freed to be offered to our citizens that are either out of work completely or are working part time but wanting full time work. To the illegal alien advocacy groups that promote continuation of lawless activities, I say you should pay a price as well. If you aid and abet, you should be held accountable, too.
