What part of "illegal" don't you understand? I'm in favor of legal immigration. I'm for prosecuting employers who do not follow the laws of this land. It's about time that our laws are finally being enforced. 1.3 million illegals have already left our country recently because we are enforcing our laws. We do not have the resources to save every person in the world. We already have private and government programs to help these people in their own countries. We, as a people and government, give charity far more than any other country in the world. We should all be proud of that fact.
