No Qualms With Legal Entry Into U.S., But Illegal Is Illegal, Folks!

I have written about this subject before, which is we have broken borders in our country. I guess it needs to be mentioned again, because clearly nothing seems to have changed.

One new fact I have recently found out is that Michigan is one of eight states giving out drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. This is appalling. Our state is in a very bad economic state and this is not helping.

People in the state of Michigan are losing their jobs and homes at an alarming rate. It is nearly impossible to find a job in our state. The last thing we need is more economic hardship here in Michigan, but indeed here we are giving out licenses to illegal aliens.

We are lacking leadership in our state as well as in Washington. I guess I don't need to mention that Congress isn't doing much better.


What's wrong with THIS picture? (Sad thing is, it's not much of an exaggeration)


Corporate America is spending more than 2 billion dollars a year to lobby in Washington, and Congress has rallied around the special interests they seek and serve.

The country is clearly headed in the wrong direction. The very people we have elected to serve all citizens have thumbed their noses at us.

I am not a racist to want our borders closed. If I hear the word "racist" used one more time to describe American Citizens who want our borders closed, I think I will scream. Illegal is illegal, no matter how they try to candycoat it. If I broke the law I would be in jail. What part of "illegal" doesn't anyone seem to understand?

President Ronald Reagan signed into law 21 years ago amnesty for more than three million illegal aliens who had entered our country. Now, another 21 years later we hear the same verbage from the pro-amnesty people who advocated open borders. They are still claiming that there will be no social or economic cost to us, the taxpayers. Doesn't history teach us that this is simply not a true statement?

I said it before and I will say it again: you can't reform immigration law if you can't control it.

The following quote was by Theodore Roosevelt in 1919. This is from a letter to the American Defense Society, 10 years after he was president.

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American.

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes any foreign flag or a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

- Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

Need I say more?!
