My two cents on illegal immigration (with some change)

America is basically sitting back and watching the country getting overrun with illegals. And when I say overrun, I mean the fact that we are watching the public systems that are in place to help our nation's poor being exploited to the point of collapse by people who aren't supposed to be here.

And why doesn't the government really do whats necessary to stop this influx? Because they don't want to be seen as "mean".

If the U.S. has the balls to start a war over seas shouldn't it have enough balls to secure its own borders???

Part of the problem is the cheap labor. Rich American corporations are fine with the cheap illegal labor. Its not like the people in top management are affected by the collapse of the public health systems. They have the money to pay for their own private insurance. They aren't the ones who have the hospitals close down in their towns because the state can no longer afford to keep the doors open. It's the poor, legal citizens who suffer.


Another part is the fact that it's mostly the border states that bear the brunt of illegal problems. The people in north Dakota really don't give a rat's ass if Los Angeles has immigrant problems.

In a perfect world we could just have general amnesty for all illegals. But this is so NOT a perfect world. America has to worry about its own citizens over a bunch of people who refuse to stay home and fix their own government.

And who are the people that we get from illegal immigration? We get the uneducated bottom of the barrell so there is no benefit. We arent getting the best and brightest from Mexico. The educated people come here through legal means.

I also don't understand the protests by illegals. As if America is some how wrong for enforcing its own laws??!! unbelievable! in my opinion, if you are illegal, then you have no rights here other than you basic human rights (we're not China after all). And the belief that the american economy would shut down if all the illegals were forced to leave is bullshit. The U.S. has been through a lot of financial ups and downs. We would recover from the loss of cheap illegal labor. and in the end we would come out better for it because big companies wouldn't be able to get away with low balling people in the wage department.

Just a couple of cents from me.
