(Note: this article is also on Blog America, but the Better Wing got jealous so I put it on here too)

This is a topic, a topic much more important than abortion, or capitol punishment. Our borders are wide open. People are running into America with no intention of making it a better place. Some people are so sick of the government ignoring this they take the job into their own hands, and they get no recognition, they get criticized for being racist.

They are not racist. Most of these people coming into America illegally have no intention of doing it for work. They want free government money. That's right, not only are we leaving the borders open but we're giving out money to the people who sneak in illegally. 10 billion a year to be exact. That's taxpayer money. You work so these people can take your money when they are able bodied. And yes they are able bodied, they have to make
a walk through desert and rivers to get here, they don't need the money.

But they're not just coming over for money. They could break the law in Mexico and
come into America and be off the hook. Or they could go to America, do some drug dealing, and come back to Mexico and be off the hook. Now the Canada border is also open, but nowhere near as bad. So the people that want the illegals to stop taking your money, breaking the law, and just causing havoc and leave are racist? No, it has nothing to do with race, like I said, the Canada borders are open too and some of the same things are happening there. These people want to help clean up America and you don't like it? Maybe you just don't understand, you're still under the impression that they're there for work, right?

No, they're coming over to be malicious, work just keeps the food on the table if the welfare checks come a day or two late. And then people will of course tell me how
keeping these people in their own country will hurt our economy. Like I said, very few of them actually work and if they do I'm pretty sure they're working at gas stations and convenience stores, not Microsoft. A few less workers is something we can live with if it means keeping freeloaders and lawbreakers out.

Sometimes I wonder if the word "illegal" is just dropped by some. They're not
immigrants, they're illegal immigrants. And I'm for immigration, if you want to legally come into our country and have good intention then you are welcome, but if you can't
take the time to sign a few papers and come in the right way, then you are breaking
the law and you need to stop.

These illegals can get drivers licenses. What does that mean? A lot. Once you get your drivers license it doesn't matter if you're legal or not anymore because if you've got your license then everyone thinks you are legal. And you can do a lot with a license. You can
get a plane ticket, vote, buy a gun, and other things. Not only that but you can get an
ID even easier which broadens your capabilities even more. You can get welfare, social security, food stamps, and other government handouts.

The illegals are also slowing down our schools and filling up our prisons. More illegals in school means not only more teachers, but more teachers trying to help kids that don't
even fully understand the English language. They are wasting our prison space where we need to feed them and take care of them. Both of these things are paid for by the
taxpayer.

Some will still call me racist by saying I think they're all criminals. They are all
criminals, they snuck in illegally! Not only that but most of them have criminal records other then that!

So what's their next argument? You're blowing it out of proportion. Sorry, I'm not. This problem is real. If you want to know how big this is, on average 375 people come into America illegally on a daily bases. These people are breaking the law, taking our money, and more. But not only that but what they're doing is a slap in the face to the people who immigrated here legally. They signed the papers, took the tests, paid their fee, and got in the right way.

But there is something even worse then the 10 billion a year from these people or the lawlessness. Just because the countries adjacent to us are Mexico and Canada, doesn't mean the only people coming in here illegally are Mexican and Canadian. Do you know how easy it is for an Islamic terrorist to fly to Canada, sneak across the border, obtain a drivers license and ID, and set off a bomb. Very easy. In fact some of these people are in America right now, just waiting for the time to bomb us.

Now do you all understand how important it is to close off the borders? Very. It could mean millions of dollars or even millions of lives if we don't.
