Imagine if someone burglarizes a home, and is able to make off with a substantial amount of cash and valuables. Using that loot, the person builds a life for themselves – opens bank accounts, buys a car, gets a job, has kids, buys a home.
Finally, he goes to the law enforcement authorities and says that he wants immunity from being prosecuted for that burglary. Furthermore, he doesn’t want to have to make full restitution. After all, he’s built a life for himself and become part of society. And since so many others followed in his footsteps, there should be some sort of law that benefits all of them!
This is exactly what is going on with illegal aliens. Even if they don’t commit any other crime, such as identity fraud or tax evasion, these people are taking what isn’t theirs – the legal right to reside in the U.S. - and building lives for themselves. Meanwhile, people wait and wait and wait to come here legally.
Illegal aliens chose to build their foundation on fraud and a disrespect for our laws. Can I understand why so many come here? Yes. We’re a (sometimes wrongly) generous nation with a high standard of living. This doesn’t justify illegal entry or stays in the U.S., however. I can understand why burglars steal, too.
Stop the stupid “compassion” for illegal aliens, which is really a lack of compassion for legal immigrants, naturalized citizens, and all who play by the rules and pay taxes.
Today in Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio "La Raza" Villaraigosa will march in protest with a parade of illegal aliens against his own police force.
Welcome to the future of America, if we don't stop the flow of illegal aliens and start encouraging them to go home.
