Well said, Woody!

Here's another side of the story about illegals and their so-called 'rights'. By coming into this country illegally they have already shown their disregard of our laws, so why should they have ANY rights other than to be deported at their expense (instead of ours)?

Tho' I feel for their predicament, to a point, because of the economic and other hardships they were trying to escape, I hold no sympathy for those who come here and break our laws without so much as a 'gee, I'm sorry...what was I thinking of?'. I'm sick of their demands. They have no right to demand anything of us.

To top it off, I'm tired of hearing about all the jobs that Americans wouldn't do and they will. Baloney! If they didn't do them we could force those who go on the dole to work, if they're able. It might also encourage even more mechanization and innovation if their 'help' wasn't so readily available.

Unfortunately, it is true that the breaking of our laws to come here illegally is not the only law of ours that they break. They're ready pickings for the exploiters and drug dealers to blackmail into being mules and runners since they're afraid of being turned in, sent back, etc.

Illegals, whatever else they are, are a real threat and drain on this country. If they're so damned ambitious, why don't they work to improve their country by following in our footsteps and doing likewise? We've never hidden our methods under a rock...they're there for anyone who wants what we have to emulate right where they are. Learn, listen, ask for help if needed, then follow through right where they are from originally. Political problems are just that: problems that can be attacked and changed from within. Where there's a will, there's a way.
