Just Asking: Illegal Immigration — Why Must We Fix It?
Perhaps that would also be a good life-lesson for those foreigners who seek to enter our country illegally, to those who want to become one of us.
Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Why must the law-abiding people of this country who work at gainful employment, pay their bills, and grumble bitterly while dutifully filing their taxes, why must these people be coerced into fixing a problem that wasn’t one of their own choosing?
If these same American citizens willingly choose to break our laws, they instinctively realize they will most likely be subjected to punitive fines or face incarceration in prison.
Yet when the subject turns to illegal immigration, the geniuses in Washington tell us that these law-breaking non-citizens must be punished for their crimes with the awarding of drivers licenses, free health care, voter rights, free college tuition, and a host of other benefits, mostly unavailable to the normal, law-abiding American citizen.
What a country!
It’s almost enough to make the average American citizen choose to disavow his own citizenship, in order that he can become an illegal alien, automatically qualifying himself for this ever-increasing slice of the American pie.
The last two immigration bills passed by Congress did absolutely nothing to stem the flow of illegals crossing our border. This latest version will simply be more of the same.
If Washington really wants to solve the problem with illegal immigration, perhaps they should just enforce the laws we already have in place that forbid it.
Perhaps they should actually finish the wall for which money has already been allocated.
And perhaps we should finally realize that we’re not the ones breaking the law. The illegals are!
