What part of the word illegal don't people understand? Anyone who's
in this country illegally is breaking the law and anyone who breaks the
law is a criminal. We need to start treating them as such (and it
doesn't matter what country they're originally from).
They demand
rights, what rights? They aren't citizens of this country and aren't
entitled to the rights that citizenship grants. There are countless
American citizens who are homeless and legally deserve this country's
help of money and programs like health insurance and education.
What about our citizens living under the poverty line and the many that have recently lost their jobs and homes?
Giving
illegals anything is a slap in the face to the millions who have come
into this country legally. There is no other country so stupid that it
would allow illegals to demand rights that are only for citizens and
those who are here legally.
Citizens who hire illegals should be
prosecuted. I support the state of Arizona and any other state who
decided to follow their example.
Our idiotic government and
presidents have ignored this problem for too many years and it's about
time real patriots of this country started to do something.
