How many people think illegal aliens, oops I’m sorry undocumented immigrants should be left alone? They pay taxes right? Sure if they are working illegally for an employer that keeps that much bookwork. I spent enough time in SoCal to be very familiar with scenes outside of home improvement stores. Illegals standing outside looking for work, some with crude hand lettered signs on battered vehicles advertising the work they did and the “quality” of it. There is a reason the construction trades are regulated. I wouldn’t hire an illegal outside of Home Depot any more readily than I would hire Billy Bob’s Honest Drywall, Painting and Finish Carpintry. Tacky is tacky.

Yet there are soft hearted (and headed?) liberals who get all sad eyed and decry the plight of the illegal alien, trespassing in our country “just trying to make some money”. This is a bit tough for me, because after all poverty is a horrible thing. But when all this illegals swarm across our borders, use our social services and suck up tax dollars so they can underbid and undercut US workers, then it becomes an invasion. If things are so bad in Mexico they must take some responsibility to change things. If they are unchangeable, I say spend a little more money on them and as they are deported, hand them an M-16, an hour of training and 500 rounds to go change things in Mexico with.

It is one thing to have guest workers. It is another to have the abuse of America’s generosity and hospitality that we are seeing now. We must penalize companies that knowingly hire illegal workers, and start deporting all the illegals that are found.

If you wish to enter this country, enter it legally. There was a time when borders were open and all were welcome. Things have changed and immigration must be controlled. Enter the legal way and be welcome. Enter illegally, get deported and forever loose your shot at coming over here.
