Thanks for that article Tank ... I was sure they could return fire.
You know, I'm fairly liberal, I speak spanish and I sympathize with the desire for a better life,
but illegal is still illegal. I'm a citizen but it's not like I get a free ride here. I work, I vote, I pay taxes, I'm subject to the law, and I run the risk of jury duty, the draft and all the rest. In return for these and other responsibilities, I enjoy the benefits of citizenship.
But don't sneak over the border illegally and expect immunity from taxes, accident liability and criminal prosecution, along with free medical care and schools (in spanish) and the right to commit identity theft. It's like saying you deserve a nice car, but refusing to get a license, pay the registration, make the payments or get insurance. And then after carjacking mine, you get mad when the cops pull you over. Dude, it's not your car!
Illegals don't belong here, just as I don't belong in their country. If they can get here legally, sweet. But if they cross illegally, whoever we pay to secure the borders (BP, NG or whoever) should be able to stop them and send them back. If they cross with weapons, we should shoot back. This is our house, and they don't get to move in just because they like it better here.
