Illegal Immigrants are at the base of almost every major problem in America.

Good points made. The 42,000 people killed by illegals was a combined statistic with murders and and drunk driving, sorry if there was confusion. I have to disagree with a few points you made though. First off with crime, you say it is the law that is criminal. Well, I don't agree with speed limits, yet I follow them, I don't agree with seat belt laws, I follow them, there are hundreds of laws that are on the books that are just stupid, but most people follow them cause it is the law. It is a terrible thing that they are so oppressed in their country, but millions have immigrated here legally, why can't they? Why can't I buy a pack of gum in southern California without having to speak spanish? What is criminal is they come to America to USE America. I have no problem with people that learn English, that denounce all loyalty to their old country, and immigrate here legally. That shows me they really want to be here, that they are willing to work for it. Secondly, still on the issue of crime. It seems you almost justify the killings of American citizens by illegals because legal citizens do it too. That is usually the first defense I get in this argument. These are people that shouldn't even be in this country killing our citizens! It is an act that should never happen, not that murder should happen at all. 8 children a day are molested by illegal immigrants, is that justified? That is why we have the immigration system. To weed out murders, rapists, drug dealers, etc. Americans that commit crimes get caught and punished, cause they are documented, they have records. Here are some of my sources, I couldn't find all of them, this is a bunch though. http://www.wnd.com... http://www.city-journal.org... http://www.nwaonline.com... http://usinfo.state.gov... http://www.rasmusen.org... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org... Now on to the drugs. Yes, dealing is an easy way to make money. But their reasons behind it aren't valid. 6 months to become a legal citizen? That is nothing. I spent 6 months to become a soldier. I can promise you I went through a lot worse things than the immigration system. But it all has a reason behind it. The immigration system is tough, but it should be! We shouldn't let just anyone in here should we? To say, I can't wait that long, I am just gonna hop the fence. That isn't ok. Crime is crime. Would I steal a loaf of bread to feed my family? Yes, but as an absolute last resort. They aren't using America as a last resort, they are just using America. To clarify, the Americans I were referring to that are denied jobs are teenagers. I may not have made that clear. But ADULT unemployment is at an all time high, and teenage employment is at a record low. That is what I meant by that. A dirty bomb is a crude, radiation expelling device. But my point is. To get a nuke here, to get any type of weapon of mass destruction here, the mexican border is the easiest way. Flying planes into buildings is a lot of hassle. Our borders are so lax people literally walk across like they are going to church. When I said our Government is corrupt, I meant it. If it wasn't corrupt, there wouldn't be 12 million illegals here, there wouldn't be spanish news papers, signs, and flags everywhere. If our government wasn't corrupt we wouldn't be paying $3.00 a gallon for gas. If our government wasn't corrupt Hillary Clinton wouldn't have a shot at being president. I also want to point out, I have never said I agree with all their policies, I hate their immigration policies. Not for the same reason you do, but because the are too lax. Trust me, compared to other countries our immigration system is cake. I think this is a perfect description of how our immigrants should be. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907 I will close with this. Immigration is a problem that is affecting all of America, it hits us in our wallets, our hospitals, our prisons, and our homes. If it comes down to a moral obligation to a people, it should be to the American people. We cannot sacrifice our quality of life for a people that refuse to assimilate to us, that refuse to become part of are country, and are perfectly content to abuse and use our country for it's resources. The plight in Mexico is a problem, but it is a Mexican problem. Short of declaring war on Mexico and claiming it as a US territory, what can we do? We need to look after our citizens. If we take on all the problems of the world it is just a matter of time before we are in the same situation. Would you have a problem with a man you didn't know just walking into your home, eating your food, watching your tv, driving your car? It is the same situation we are in, but in a larger scale. Illegal immigration, is no small matter, it is a dangerous game we are playing and it needs to stop. It is an invasion by another country, and we need to recognize it as such. My friend I must say, the statements you have made tell me several things about you as a person. You are a good person, you are a liberal, and you have only good intentions. But, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I consider America as close to Heaven as we can get, we should treat it as such and stop letting anyone with a pair of legs in. Thank you. Vote Romney!
