Congressman Steve King ~ "What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration? There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines that plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of meth that day by 80%. The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals. Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime.

On the negative side, the price of a pound of tomatoes might go up from $0.79 to $0.80. That is unless you have a garden. But I'm guessing that the Mexican drug lords are not taking May 1st off. Neither will the 11,000 illegal invaders that pour over our border every other day of the year. It is a safe bet that the U.S. Border Patrol will have a very busy "Nothing Gringo Day.""

“They’re from all over the world, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and yup, even Europe. So... what are you? Irish, German, Polish, Scandinavian? Those sure don’t sound like English-speaking countries to me! My guess is that your ancestors came here not knowing a word of English, having barely more possessions than what they could carry, and not knowing a soul.”

The difference is that those legal immigrants wanted to be Americans. They wanted to learn the language. They didn’t want to we Polish, German etc. They wanted to be Americans. The illegal aliens coming here from Mexico want to be Mexicans and speak Spanish. They want to steal what they can from us. They want to make the US Mexico with free benefits. If they want to be Mexican they need to stay there and make their country a better place.
