It’s just not right for people who don’t live in a state inundated by illegal immigrants to decide their fate. It’s easy to gush with sympathy if granting amnesty to 11 million illegals won’t affect you for squat.
You’ve got to look at it from a southern perspective.
- ” Us Yankees, we love all your illegal immigrants. “
How can 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. who don’t speak a word of English sneak across the border (an average of 8 times before they remain here), get a job, an apartment, shop, send money home to Mexico, get a driver’s license, a bank account, and all the hundreds of other things necessary to function in America?
By definition, they get help from the legal Hispanic community that facilitates all of this. They’re all guilty by association.
From our point of view, these illegals are career criminals. They broke the law to get here, and they break the law every day they remain here. Even if they came here on a visa and overstayed the visa – whoever sponsored them on that visa is a criminal, too.
If 40% of illegal immigrants over stayed their visa then there are 5 million legal Hispanics who sponsored them who are guilty of aiding and abetting.
You can’t just wipe all that guilt away with one wave of the flag the way Washington wants to do. There have to be consequences.
Serious consequences.
