Politically Correct
I don't have an issue with immigrants.
I just don't care for illegal immigrants. There is a big difference.
It was funny recently when many of the Dallas area latinos decided to leave their free government education to go march for immigrant rights. Some of the students were interviewed on TV and didn't have a clue what they were marching for. An embarrassed teacher from that school decided to have a meeting the next week to discuss the issues that are actually being discussed in Washington. While hundreds of students from his school protest, he had 23 people show up (most were reporters with cameras to document this failure).
Too many people are saying we should drop the 'illegal' from illegal immigrant. Why?
There are legal ways to enter our country. There are illegal ways to enter our country. The so called rights for each should be different. Just as the rights of actual citizens should be different.
The headlines next week again will be about immigrant rights. The people jumping the river are not immigrants. They are illegals, trespassers, intruders, gate crashers, and imposters.
I do not blame them for wanting to come to the U.S. for better opportunity. The opportunity and life in Mexico is limited at best. However, there are processes in place to allow for immigration, and we actually have a very liberal immigration policy in this country. We are a nation of immigrants (a nation of legal immigrants). However we are being taken advantage of by our neighbors to the south.
This is not an issue about jobs. This issue is about submitting to authority. We need to continue to call it what it is...illegal. We need to enforce current laws and strengthen them, not loosen.
May 1, when many supporters of the trespassers will be taking a day off of work, I guess I'll fill my own hot sauce bowl and iced tea glass. I'll sit back and watch these men and women protest and teach their children that authority and respect hold very little value.
