This immigration debate is simply nuts. The rest of the world makes all visitors have their paperwork in order or they are kicked out of the country (including Mexico). I have been to 26 countries and every single one of them demanded my passport and in some cases a visa to enter. Their hotels also demanded my passport before I checked in. Every time I came home, I had to wait in line to go through customs and show my passport. But that is OK, it’s the law and every country has the right to control who comes in and who stays in their country. But a certain group of people in the U.S. want to throw the law out for illegal immigrants in the U.S. Why is that? First, many unethical employers like illegal aliens who will work for peanuts and can’t complain, like modern day serfs. These employers say that they can’t confirm who is illegal but that is a lie, E-Verify can identify illegal aliens with 99% accuracy and it is free. It is all about greed for them. Democrats want illegal aliens here because if they ever get the vote, they will vote Democrat insuring that Democrats will have a lock on power. Fifteen million illegal aliens are bankrupting and crushing our school systems, hospitals, prisons and all of our social systems at a time that we are $14.3 trillion in debt. They are taking jobs that 15 million unemployed Americans need. All for greed and power! I don’t blame the illegal aliens for wanting to be here. I blame the corrupt politicians, corrupt businessmen and naive citizens for allowing this tragedy to happen. Time to grow up and get real or everyone will pay a tragic price.
