Racism and Illegal Immigration
What is so difficult to understand about the concept of
legally immigrating into our country? Why do those of us who would like to see
the immigration laws of our country enforced get called racists? Does this
argument make sense to anyone?
My grandparents immigrated here legally. They did not ask
for special rights, the welfare system, hand outs for food, medical assistance
and other necessities. They came here to find a better life for themselves and
to be in a free county. They respected and appreciated our country and
assimilated into the melting pot. My grandparents respected the laws of this
country. They worked to make a living for themselves. Every male family member
on my maternal side since my grandparents arrived here were enlisted into the
Marine Corps and served our country.
Today, we are being invaded by millions of illegal
immigrants who come here demanding that we give them their rights. What rights?
Just what are they entitled to and why are we giving them entitlement programs?
They march in the streets demanding this of our country. Illegals receive
benefits that even our citizens don’t get.
When we demand that our government close the borders,
enforce the immigration laws stop the handouts which is over burdening the tax
payers does that make us racists?
The purpose of government is to protect us from invasion,
but apparently there are people who believe this is not right. Some people
believe that everyone should be able to come here illegally, storm our borders,
take jobs away from Americans, commit crimes and not be held responsible. This
is not immigration. This is anarchy.
As stated in the Constitution of the United States of America:
Article IV
Section 4. The United States
shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against
invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive
(when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
