Illegal Immigrants Don't Exist!

Let’s stop talking about “illegal immigrants”.  It’s unfortunate that we ever started calling the people who broke the law by breaching our borders, “illegal immigrants”. They are not immigrants in any sense of the word. They are, plain and simple, international criminals.  Illegal border crossing should be dealt with separately from any “true” immigration issues.  To combine these two groups is a serious disservice and insult to those honest people who have respected our laws for immigrating into this country.  The criminals who sneak across the border do not deserve any consideration by our government, our social institutions or our citizens.  Rewarding these criminals will only encourage further law breaking.  Any person who seriously wants to obtain residency and, perhaps, citizenship in this country must first respect our laws.  The strength of our country is based on the “rule of law” and above all else, that has to be protected.

Our government has failed miserably in protecting the citizens of the U.S. from this invading hoard of international criminals.  All of us who are citizens of the U.S. should demand that our government fulfill its one, single-most important, function of defense and secure our borders.  Not until that first step has been taken will it be appropriate to move on to steps 2 and 3 – dealing with the millions who are already in the U.S. after entering illegally and establishing a fair and honest “guest worker” program.  It’s unfortunate that our politicians soon forget the oaths of office they take upon being elected and soon revert to a strategy of winning votes at all costs, even if it means failure to uphold the constitution and the laws of the land.
