In my view those who wish to enter the United States need to come through the front door. If one recalls immigrants were required to come to Ellis Island to determine if they could enter this country. Those found ill were either treated and sent back to their native lands. Illegals just from a medical standpoint only are placing us at great risk because they have not been innoculated for diseases that we have conquered or control. when the medical epidemics start then we will see o has compassion and who does not?
The lack of assimilation is another problem not only socially but from a national defense because unity is essential in the face of our enemies.
The argument that they will take jobs that Americans won't is a canard. Politician allow it for votes and business people to sustain a low cost work force. The truth is if immigrants didn't take these jobs they would be come more competitive and wages would rise.
The actions taken by the federal government has done nothing but encourage more immigrants to make the journey.
One poster referenced bribes being taken by the border patrol. I believe it and I also believe it is a reflection that these border patrol officers have been demoralized by the inefficient of politicians to resolve this issue and as such figure whether I do or do not take a bribe they are going to cross and stay. Do I agree with this of course not its a criminal act and one committed by law enforcement personnel....throw the book at them
