Well. Here's an opinion from someone who's right smack dab in the middle of it. My whole school was pretty much filled with the children of illegal immigrants, the streets are flooded with uninsured drivers, no one speaks english around here and I pretty much find it impossible to find any white people in my area.
Even then, I still think this is America, land of the free. We were founded on immigration. Our forefathers were immigrants. I am totally for immigration.
Put yourselves in their shoes, try living in the slums of Mexico with no way out, for DAMN sure you'd be thinking of a way across that border, illegal or not. It's only illegal because there is a law, not because it is wrong. You know a long long time ago, we used to have the belief that we were the downtrodden country where people could come to, to escape persecution and poverty and make a decent life of their own. Now, we think we're this perfect utopia and we don't want to share it with anyone. WtF?
There are problems with immigration, namely in the retarded socialism we have in this country, where we offer hand outs to everyone and tax the hell out of those of us with a damn job.
I believe this is where the problem really boils down, because there are some DAMN good workers that come across this border and do more for their community and workplace than any of us lazy Americans. But there are those that come across trying to get by for free. They get welfare and pan handle, have no respect for our cities and basically treat our state like a trash can. I think we need to focus more on not rewarding those lazy ones and making it easier on those that really want to work.
I dunno. I'm just some pinche weddo.
