Surprise, surprise, surprise!
The powers that be in Washington, you know the elite, those in the know, the geniuses are surprised, confused, verklempt.
They don't understand how people could be so against their new immigration bill, other wise know out here in the hinterland as the Amnesty bill. Obviously they haven't been paying attention. They don't understand that most communities are trying to create laws to do that which the federales refuse to do. They are taking matters into their own hands because they don't want more aid, they want criminals in their communities found and deported. They want to stop spending their moneys on people who don't belong here, who didn't come here legally and who lie, cheat and steal to stay here. These communities don't think the illegals who ignored our sovereign borders and the laws that govern them, will suddenly become law abiding citizens. They believe these immigrants will continue to ignore the rules and laws they don't like or find inconvenient. They don't appreciate it that they have to go to work everyday, pay taxes, obey ALL the laws and nobody else pays for their children to go to college. It is not a question of bigotry or racism, it is a question of equality. If Americans disobey the laws of this country they go to jail or are fined. If illegals disobey laws we give them citizenship? How is this fair? There are more reasons than these that make people anti-illegal immigrant, but these are the most egregious. People in this country do not hate "brown People". We are not however willing to sell our or our children's heritage, home and culture down the drain. Already many communities are drowning in illegals. They drain resources meant for legal citizens, straining both budgets and tempers.
During the Irish Famine (or to use their term- the Great hunger) from 1848 to about 1854 hundreds of thousands of Irish were turned away from the ports of this country. Many were sick and dying with nowhere to go. Most of them were illiterate and unemployable, with no trade or skills and no family to take them in. The government did not turn them away because they were heartless. They turned them away because they did not have the manpower, facilities or the resources to care for the ill nor could they keep safe the citizens who would come in contact with the new immigrants. The first duty of government is to protect it's own citizens.
Contrary to the Pro-Illegal groups claims this has nothing to do with the color of skin or the country of origin. It has to do with the ability of a country to control who can come in and who can't. Look at it this way. You have control over who enters your house and who doesn't. No one is allowed to walk into your house without your permission. If they do you call the police and the "man" comes to arrest them. Our borders should be the same. Our politicians should care more about what legal citizens think than what criminals think. I think every politician who had a part in this debacle should be voted out of office or recalled. Send a message to Washington and Mexico. Just say NO!
