I think people have lost sight of the fact that this is about I-L-L-E-G-A-L aliens. The folks that are here legally as a result of going through the process of getting a visa, getting a green card and getting citizenship I have no issue with. They're Americans just like me and just happen to have been born someplace else. Fine and dandy. They showed respect for our culture and country by having the decency to do what was expected of them and demonstrating through their compliance with our laws, immigration policies, etc. that they really wanted to be here. Good stuff.
I admit freely that our immigration system is a mess but honestly the ability of a LEGAL immigrant to put up with the morass of red tape is only a testimony to how badly they want to do things by-the-book, how much they want to be an American and how respectful they are being of the country they are hoping to have accept them. I have all the respect in the world for these people and welcome them with open arms regardless of their nationality.
The ones that jump fences or swim rivers in the dead of night to come here and steal from us and send our dollars back to a corrupt third-world country are criminals and scum. These individuals are THIEVES and should be treated accordingly.
If LEGAL Latino CITIZENS (having obtained their citizenship by going through the proper channels) want to protest or make an appeal to raise the immigration quotas to help other people in their homelands become citizens in the U.S. too, that's one thing. That's NOT what is going on here. These are ILLEGAL individuals demanding a free handout and a backdoor path to citizenship. They want all the benefits without any of the responsibility or having to put any of the effort into it in order to get it. What does that say about their "hardworking" work ethic?
Those here illegally and those that sympathize with them need to get the hell out of the U.S. and leave it for those that respect it and WANT to be here, not just take advantage of it and use it like a diaper.
