Illegals, PLEASE GO HOME!

Yesterday, May Day, there were massive marches by illegal immigrants and their supporters in a number of large American cities with large Latino populations. They were marching for, what was called on the newscasts, "immigration reform." What they were REALLY marching for is leniency for lawbreakers. Personally, I don't support lawbreaking, and I certainly don't support lawbreakers, and illegals are breaking the law. They claim to love this country. Well, if they love this country as much as they say they do, then they should love it enough to respect its laws. Yes, this IS a nation of immigrants, but it's a nation of LEGAL immigrants and the illegals and their supporters have a lot of chutzpah to compare them to those immigrants who came into this country via LEGAL channels. It takes a lot of nerve to not only break the law -- but then expect to be REWARDED for it no less by being allowed to stay here and have a job and a steady paycheck!

Yesterday's rallies were nothing but celebrations of lawbreaking. The illegals were, and are, setting a very poor example for their children because the message they were sending was that breaking the law, and then having the unmitigated GALL to CELEBRATE that lawbreaking, are OK.

A big part of the problem, though, are those employers who hire illegals. No immigrant should be given a job unless he or she can provide AUTHENTIC documentation (unfortunately, it's all to easy to print up authentic-LOOKING documents these days) that they're in this country LEGALLY, and only then should they be given a job.

When it comes to the phrase, "illegal immigrants," it's not the "immigrants" part I have a problem with. It's the "illegal" part that bugs me. The illegals should return to their native countries voluntarily, or be faced with deportation.
