I think this says it all...

From an article regarding the "May Day" protests on behalf of Illegal Aliens:

"It's unjust the dark times we're living in," 42-year-old laborer Nacho Santos said through an interpreter. "Those of us who are immigrants are trying to bring the United States back into the light. Our people have given much to this country and many of here have come hoping for legalization."

So...Nacho, through an interpreter, wants to let us all know that "our" people have given so much to this country. Well, Nacho, I'd love to have an eloquent and deep conversation regarding our differences on the issue...BUT YOU DON'T SPEAK AMERICAN!, so that won't work out.

I've heard this issue addressed from many angles, but the one component that still stands out for me is this: Nacho, and the 12 million (that we know of) like him are here illegally. Repeat: "ILLEGALLY". It's like coming home to find a burglar in your home, but once caught, the burglar decides to move in, clean your house, and otherwise become a model resident. After years pass, the burglar now decides that it's his "right" to become part of your family, and why haven't you adopted me yet? And, after you've adopted the burglar, the burglar wants to have his entire extended family move in to your home too, because it's their "right".

NOT

I hope that the law makers and law enforcers of this nation (one that used to be great) will stop pussy-footing around this issue (emphasis on PUSSY) and enforce the laws as they are written. Stop the invasion of criminal, resource-sucking, non-productive, non-assimilating (my biggest beef) humans and stop cow-towing to the Mexican government who DEMAND that we change our own immigration policies while they, on the southern end of their own borders, deny access to their country to ANY non-documented visitor. Hmmm...Quid Pro Quo? Don't even get me started on the unreciprocalness (that's not a word) of our extradition treaties with our 51'st state.

Go Home
Come Back Legally
Speak English (or at least attempt to assimilate)
Put Down the Mexican Flag and Pick Up an American Flag

or

Just Stay Home
