Imigration

[MMI]

While there will always be a subset of people who are against anyone different, the main problem as Americans see it is illegal immigrants, those entering without passports or visas, who create phony ID's (or steal other people's ID's) in order to get jobs, who benefit from social services designed to help legal immigrants and citizens and who don't pay taxes. Personally, I regard these kinds of immigrants, whether they be black, white, Hispanic, Canadian, British, French or any other group, as criminals who should be arrested and deported.

I was including "illegals" as net providers of benefits ... some are undoubtedly criminals - traffikers, thieves, killers, rapists and so on, others are poor, desperate people looking for a safer, better life. And I suspect that, even among the "illegals" they are the greater part.

So by keeping the illegals out we are actually protecting them from the unscrupulous parasites who prey upon them! Another reason to obey the laws!

That is EXACTLY the kind of thinking I deplore

(Do I detect a hint of the kettle calling the melting pot black? )

Very astute ... or perhaps, "Hey, you look just like me."
