Why don't illegals stay home and make their own countries better instead of polluting the US?

[Peppermint Patty]

a) Because anyone who speaks out for better government where they live is shot or knifed to death, killed in some gruesome manner. The unpleasant truth is that these people need to rise up and overthrow the people who are making their homelands hell for them.

b) As others here have pointed out, the government looking the other way while these people come in is a cheap and easy form of corporate welfare. I blame both parties for this hypocrisy - George Bush was just as bad about letting the pressure off of the aliens at the border as Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano are now. We should NEVER have let up on the vigilance required to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into this country of ours.

c) I completely agree with your assessment. We're supposed to be oh, so politically correct and tolerant of these people and yet they themselves are sexist, racist, violent, and in general the worst neighbors you could imagine. I know that this is a generalization, but living in a heavily illegal-populated neighborhood, I've had to endure insults, vandalism, all sorts of harassment from people who shouldn't even be here. It's time to send them back where they came from.
