Illegal, not Criminal

Immigration rallies kick off in Atlanta, other cities

Can you even imagine what it would be like if all of of sudden 11 million people just become criminals? Illegal immigration is a double edged sword. We cannot function without them, they need us, and it is costing the US taxpayer a shit load of money. When you throw the words, national security in the mix, then it become a real problem. Do we need better border security? Yes, a lot better! Can we do this without hurting all the illegal immigrants in our nation? Yes!

I am not a fan of having the U.S. taxpayer paying for services of people that do not pay taxes at all. But then again, that is what the US tax payer is doing for the people of Iraq, and Afghanistan. Those people are not even working in our country and we are paying for the building of theirs. So when the American people bitch about that, I will support them. Making Illegal immigrants criminals is a dumb idea, which i believe is dead in the water in Washington.

If lawmakers want to make this issue about national security, then make it about security, not the status of immigrants in the US. The U.S. is closing its doors, in a time where it should be open more than ever. Illegal immigrants are coming to the US for a reason. That reason is hope and a better life for their families. I know that they are immigrating here illegally, but if you could place yourself in their life, you might have to come here illegally as well. Fixing poverty, and hopelessness, is something the US taxpayer should invest in!
