In case there was any question on my view of the current immigration problem, read this:
The Right To Remain Silent
Don’t speak to me
about your rights,
if you sneak through
the fence at night.
Or if you cross the border
in a van,
driven by
the greedy man.
Or if you sail
on board a raft,
or pay your way
with bribe or graft.
You cannot steal
what’s given free,
to those
who do it properly.
So, the only right
you have I see,
is the right to leave
so please feel free.
Then if and when
you should come back,
with the legal papers
in your pack,
then I will listen
to your speech,
about your rights
all, and each.

I just feel horrible about the children that are dying because they are coming in. That hurts my heart. 😦
We must put the blame squarely on the White House and the message he is sending, to South America especially, that America has room for everyone, legal or not.
Reblogged this on Dead Citizen's Rights Society.
They all know their “rights” to the welfare programs.
If the government and the lawyers would do their job and explain to them that if you are not a (legal) citizen of this country, then you are not entitled to any of the rights guaranteed to (legal) citizens provided to us by the Bill of Rights…. PERIOD. We are just too damned soft on these law breakers and maybe, more importantly, on the greedy bastards that are giving them employment and/or harbor.. I say shut down the borders completely until we can fortify our immigration authorities with the manpower and the funds to ensure that these “illegals” or “guest workers” as Ted Kennedy once called them are rounded up and deported.. The cost of this funding will be far less than the cost of keeping them here and feeding, clothing, housing, educating and medicating them all for generations to come. Not to mention the cost of the incarceration of the worst of the worst!!
