Nobody, except myself, talks about the tons of money the drug cartels makes by smuggling illegal aliens into the United States. The illegals pay about $2,000 each or more to the cartels for this “service.” Anybody who encourages or pays for illegal immigration bears some responsibility for the violence in Mexico. If you use drugs smuggled here or people smuggled here you are responsible. Yes, that includes the Roman Catholic clergy and other clergies. There, I said it.

The reasons illegals come here are twofold: 1) jobs and 2) better opportunities for their children (including birthright citizenship). If we would crack down on employers hiring illegals, I mean really crack down, that would slow the rate of illegal immigration tremendously. It would also encourage many to voluntarily deport themselves back to their country of origin. You need to look at the reasons why illegals come, and not just why they are here.

If we get better Supreme Court justices on the Court then maybe we can overrule their 1982 decision that the children of illegals are entitled to education in public schools.

We should also work to repeal birthright citizenship. If we do those three things, the illegal problem goes away. They won't stay in this country.

If we ended the war on drugs and cracked down on illegals, the cartels would go away, and businesses wouldn't be afraid to open in Mexico like many are today. These businesses would attract the illegals who could no longer find jobs here, and the problem is solved.

They do NOT come here for the reasons you cite above. They are here to take over the SWUSA and anything else they can turn into a third world shithole. WITH the help of their own government that can’t launch a decisive attack on us.
