Immigration is as much a part of this country as is the Rule of Law


Illegal aliens. Convicted of serious criminal offenses. Do a little time. Get out of jail. Stay in the U.S. and kill more people. Do you know how many American deaths are 100% preventable? These people are starting to keep track. (Yes – that’s right – 100% preventable!)

And – yes – that is a vowel on the end of my last name. Both the paternal and maternal sides of my parentage are immigrant families.

I don’t have anything against immigration. I believe it is important that we expand it – the legal part of it, I mean.

Immigration has been, is and will be an important part of this country.

Just as is the “rule of law”.

And of course, we have to be open to immigrants from across the globe – not just from across the desert.

And those who come here should want to come here because of what we stand for, not just because their forefathers festered a government of corruption and the current generation is too much in a fog to stand up and make a difference.

We all “know” what is the right thing to do, it’s just that many around us are more concerned with not appearing to be cold-hearted to say it.

Criminals should go to jail and stay there until deported, never to return.

Those here should register, hope for a green-card and quit breaking tax laws, voting laws, and ID-theft laws.

And never, ever, ever, ever again associate with anyone who chooses to march down our boulevards waiving a foreign flag.

I remember watching TV on 9/12/2001 and seeing our foreign enemies celebrating at the brutality our innocents suffered on 9/11. I remember watching the Palestinians dancing in the streets. I remember watching Saddam Hussein firing a rifle in the air in celebration. I will never forget those brazen enough to publicly celebrate harm to the US.

And I will never, ever forget the sight of illegals marching in LA and in Phoenix flying the Mexican flag. Never. Anyone that can be identified in those videos and pictures should be removed from our borders, never to be allowed to return.

And everyone who wants to stay should document their prior transgressions regarding our laws and forswear to help us get rid of the bad apples. The immigrant community bears the burden of close proximity with hardened criminals, and is the group most victimized by them, but they fear coming out into the open. So, if we agree to let them stay (as guest workers, not citizens – citizenship is a different path, and there is a long line ahead of them that they’ll simply have to wait for) then it has to be with the caveat that they turn in all the hardcore criminals hiding in their midst. Be they Mexican, Asian, Muslim, Colombian, Russian, or whatever. If the immigrant community won’t do this with gusto – then who needs them. And if they will, well let’s move forward with a decent guest worker program, expand legal immigration, and keep an eye out for the bad guys.
