When I expressed my dissatisfaction over this problem, I did not intend that it be directed at any individual. My sentiment is that people should not be allowed to come here illegally to have children just so that those children may automatically be United States Citizens. I don't care if they come from Central America or Azerbaijan.

As far as situations like that, my DIL has relatives here who came as illegals, but later got in under the amnesty. They are wonderful people. I would NEVER direct hatred towards them or any of their ilk. "Their ilk" meaning responsible people who work and pay their own bills, never expecting the freebies that's going out to scam artists.

So, as you can see, I was agreeing with the idea (however badly it was expressed), not the hatred. Sorry that I gave that impression.

We are in agreement--like most Americans. Our borders are a mess and the illegal problem is hugh. If we stopped inviting them over here by giving them freebies (hospital, classroom, voting, employment) and increased the budget tenfold to police our borders, this problem would disappear in a two weeks.

The reason it won't happen without massive political struggle is lobbyists don't want it, the illegals are coordinated in their activism, and the politicians all consider hispanic backlash something to be avoided at all costs.

Americans like you and I fume on forums like this, but until an illegal breaks into our home, sells drugs to our kids, or takes our job, we don't get active. The duty of every citizen is to keep his or her representative voice in our government in check and true. Our opponents, so far, have done it better than us.
