I was concerned twenty + years ago. LONG before I walked in on two illegals burgling my home. LONG BEFORE: gangs, drive-by shootings, graffity on historic buildings & monuments, higher taxes ( to pay for the new schools, health department , parks, Mexican teachers and, let's not forget, new police department to handle the tripling crime rate.), drug rings, whore houses, counterfeiting, planes crashing into buildings... . Yes, I've been concerned, and when I think of the immigration reform bills, that might have prevented 911 but were voted down because of the pro immigration groups, I get angry. I doubt those people, the ones who fought so hard to kill true immigration reform, feel the least bit guilty about the people they indirectly killed.
I have a question for you. How do I deal with those who pooh-poohed me, for years, but now have seen the light? Some are decent enough to apologize, others act as though they don't recall ever being pro leteverydamnbodywhowantsincomebecauseweallcamefromimmigrantsandtheyjustwantabetterlifeandtheyaresuchhardworkinghonestpeople.
