1) We are a society based around law, not tribes. Disrespect for the law is damaging in and of itself, but also a) it leads to future lawbreaking, and b) it leads to a sense of privilege for the tribe allowed to get away with it.
2) Our forefathers came over here and did the hard job of entering legally, so to allow others to flaunt the law is to urinate on the legacy of our ancestors.
3) Due to the overwhelming number of illegal Mexican immigrants, we now have a separate culture within our borders. A nation with more than one language and culture is not one that is united.
4) It forces Americans out of jobs. Two examples: a) we could have been developing more automation technology for agriculture. Just imagine how this industry could have cushioned the fall of our automotive industry! b) just talk to someone in the building trades what the impact of illegal immigration has been.
5) Legal immigrants are sponsored. The sponsor is supposed to make sure the immigrant is not a troublemaker. Illegals have no sponsor, and because of the socio-economic class the vast majority belong to, they get into lots and lots of trouble. This has caused huge problems with crime, and many citizen victims.
6) It creates a new underclass in America. They are separate, yet taken advantage of for menial labor tasks. We fought a bloody war in the 1800 to get past that.
7) It creates a huge underclass in America that overwhelms our social services to the point of bankruptcy.
8) IT IS ILLEGAL, YOU DOPE! WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO JUSTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF LONG-STANDING, COMMON-SENSE LAWS YOU LIBS WANT TO BREAK!!!
“) We are a society based around law, not tribes.”
Thank you! What has made the US a cohesive society is the Constitution, not race, not tribe. That is exactly what current immigration seeks to change.
For the current crop of ‘immigrants’ it’s all about
‘tribe’ at the expense of the rule of law.
