This is a problem of socialism, not of immigration (see my tag line) :)

We are not being invaded. Foreign governments are not attacking us. No one's property is being stolen or destoryed. To the contrary, employers here are trying to engage in voluntary contractual agreements whereby they bring employees into this country to work on their private farms/factories and, in some cases, house them on their private farms/factories. Government is invading the people when it uses force to enforce these laws.
As always, when government has the power to do something it corrupts and twists that power for political gain and the immigration laws and standards are being constantly revised and changed by politicians of all stripes in response to donations/favors by various domestic and foreign interests and according to whatever popular whim happens to be fashionable among the people.
We're being invaded by invading hordes from the south.
You obviously don't care.
You're part of America's problem.
Iraq and Afghanistan and Kosovo didn’t attack us either. But our military is still there, “protecting us”.
No one's property is being stolen or destroyed. Tell that to some of the people on this forum who live on the southern border, in a virtual war zone 24/7. Then check out some of the photos that have been posted here and all over the internet of the diseased garbage, human waste that is spread over hundreds of miles of private land and “protected” public lands. 95% of the murder warrants for Los Angeles are illegal aliens. If this isn’t destruction tell us what is?

You got that part right. “People” should have read, “the people with undue influence”. Illegal immigration holds no “fashionable” meaning to the “people” any longer. Just ask us.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
