You know for quite a while now America has gotten a bad wrap around the world because we are finally getting smart enough to find out who is in our country and those here illegally removed.

People say we are being racist, we are picking on poor people just trying to make a better life for themselves, they say we need illegal immigrants because of their contributions. But people are confused or crazy I am not sure.

LEGAL immigrants are what make the US the best country in the world, they come here and adopt our culture but add their own culture to the mix as well. They work hard, carve out a life for themselves, open businesses and go through all work needed to gain their citizenship and are very proud to be fellow Americans.

Those people I applaud and welcome with open arms!

My issue is strictly with people who, for whatever reason I don’t care, decide to break the law and enter the country illegally. The only way they can work any kind of legal job is to commit identity theft to get a bogus social security card.

Now I don’t want to single out one group of peoples but since illegal immigrants are so vocal with their protests I figure they went there first. Let’s look a bit a Mexico’s immigration laws.

You see if you or I slipped across the border into Mexico illegally and get caught it is a felony which is punishable with up to 2 years in a MEXICAN prison followed by immediate deportation.

Not only that if you do become a legal resident the government can revoke your citizenship and throw you out of the country for any or no reason at all PLUS you are not allowed to serve in the military, be a police officer, hold any kind of political office or even become a clergymen!!!

Mexico deports 250K+ illegal immigrants from poorer central American countries like Honduras etc.. every year and those illegals tell stories of being beaten, starved, raped etc..

Mexican police are REQUIRED to enforce immigration laws unlike here in the US. SO I ask you how is what we are trying to do by securing our borders and removing criminals any different that what Mexico themselves do? Besides we don’t mistreat our illegals.

We need to back our government on this. We are not doing anything that every other country in the world doesn’t do to try and secure their borders so why are we expected to be different? Do we need another attack, this time from people who hate us and sneak across the border from Mexico?

We are not trying to persecute anyone, not telling good people who want to come here and make a better life to go away, not at all we want those kind of people. No, we just want to keep track of who enters the country for security reasons and because it makes sense.

Lastly, people talk about the children of illegals. This one is tough but let’s look around the world. Do other countries have the pop a baby out on our soil and it is a citizen whether you were there legally or not? I know for a fact in Germany doesn’t and am betting most other countries don’t either but it is hard info to find.

A friend of mine was born to an American father stationed in Germany and a German born and raised mother and my friend was considered an American not German even though he was born in a German Hospital.

This is an issue worldwide, if you do a search for: immigration issues (plug a country name here) you’ll see how much a mess this for most countries around the world.

What I understand the least are people flooding across borders illegally from countries where things are bad. Barring a hostile takeover or natural disaster things have been bad in those countries for many many years. So if they have hated living where they are since they were a poor kid why not have applied legally before it got to a point you had to start your “new life” off by committing a crime in your new “home”.

I know this make some people mad and quite frankly that is fine. I am not preaching hate or intolerance just common sense and the law. Legal immigrants = good while illegal immigrants = criminals hence the illegal part!

Write your legislators, back our government on this because if we don’t get control of this is will come back to bite us eventually.
