Rights for Illegals??
Now, if you're not either a natural born citizen or a naturalized citizen, why should you have "civil rights" protected under the US Constitution?
If you're going to come here, assimulate into our society. Don't force us to conform to your former country's culture. This is our home, you play by our rules.
Let's say you have an apartment complex. How would you feel if someone decided to take up residence in an apartment and avoided paying you? When you confronted him about not only breaking in and living in your apartment building for free he says "Oh I have the 'right' to be here." Not only does he say that, but what if he decides to take to the streets to "protest" saying that you're violating his right to be in your apartment building. What would you do? Would you just let him stay for free, or would you use the rule of law and have him arrested for breaking and entering?
Why should we give free amnesty to law breakers? Wouldn't this be a slap in the face to those who have struggled to come here legally?
I am a business person. I love the free market system, but I hate it when businesses (both big and small) break the law and knowingly hire illegal aliens. These businesses should be punished harsly. I like Wal-Mart, but if they hire illegals knowingly (and there are reports they do) they should be punished for it. Not a set fine but maybe a percentage of their gross profit (how about 30 to 40%). If businesses knew that it would suddenly be unprofitable to hire illegal aliens it may not stop it in its tracks but it certainly would help.
Do we really need more laws? Probably not, we just need to enforce the ones we currently have. I am for immigration as long as it is legal, they have respect for our culture, learn to speak English, and assimulate into society. Does this make me intolerant of other cultures? No, I just believe if you're going to be coming to my country I expect you to learn the language and respect our culture. Does this mean that they can't practice their own culture? No. I don't care if you practice it in your home; what you do there is your own business.
I have more to say, but I think I've gotten my point across.
