One of the (many) things that isn’t right about the illegal immigration fiasco is that the government currently looks the other way re illegal immigrants from south of the border, but others -— including Irish, Thai, African, etal — when caught here illegally, get roundly deported.
And many, who apply the legal route from other countries, are rejected or have their applications severely delayed.
There is a GROSS INEQUITY in the immigration system. The current administration has filled all top posts with Latin Americans.
EVERYONE who immigrates legally should learn English and citizenship. Your illegals bypass all that. I don’t care how many hours a day they “work hard” etc.... they are bypassing our immigration laws, and BTW, many of our other laws and that is IMMORAL.
The Latin American immigrants are demanding, and receiving, favoritism in terms of language and state benefits. We are rapidly becoming BI-CULTURAL. Witness food packaging, voice mail menus, customer service, media, healthcare, voting ballots and more .... all offering options in Spanish. If we don’t provide “Spanish on demand” at the hospital, we can be fined and otherwise penalized.
This immigration fight is about the MORAL FIBER of our Nation, and about preserving our culture. I have no disrespect for the cultures of other nations, and I do not accept disrespect for ours by those who migrate here either legally or illegally.
WOW. That is an amazing post.
When the struggling Mexican and/or Central American hears and sees friends and relatives 'striking it rich' or enhancing their lives and those of his children by sneaking into the United States, what else would you expect them to do?
In their eyes they have seen overnite economic success and unlimited opportunity over and over again.
The fault squarely falls on the County and State governments that offer sanctuary...NOT with the peaceful immigrant.
Don't hate or despise the immigrant. Hate your elected government officials who actively encourage more of it.
Now lets back to zotting long-time regulars.
Cheers! ;^)
Great post!!!
