Who deserves the blame?

The first question to be asked is why was 12 to 14 illegal immigrants allowed to enter our borkers uncontested.  There are several reason why this is a serious matter.  We are at war with people hell-bent on killing us.  Not to mention the fall out of letting millions of undocumented people wonder around our country.  The undue burden put on all forms of government agencies.

That being said you must also look at the Mexican government for turning a blind eye on the whole situation while their citizens flood the borders of the United states.  Now with Arizona up to their neck in law breakers, they pass a law to help protect themselves.  The Hispanic base is filing law suits and protesting all over our country. 

Why  weren't the legal immigrants so vocal when all the illegals were flooding in.  Now that it has come to a head their screaming foul.  I am not endorsing racial profiling, but when people are getting murdered, property is being destroyed and over-all kaos.   I guess I'm a believer in doing things right the first time.  If all the illegals would have entered our country legally, then the bad apples could have been separated and everyone would have lived happily ever after.

They brought it upon themselves.

When you break the law bad things happen.  The problem is so many people broke the law, drastic action had to be taken.  I guess I don't know how bad it is because I don't live there.  But I can tell you if I did live in Arizona and people started commiting crimes and destroying property.  I would have a couple of loaded 12 guages ready to use at a moments notice.  You can't let people from your country come into this country and disregard virtually every law imaginable.  Don't get me wrong the large majority of Hispanics are good law biding citizens, and they shouldn't be punished.  But you have the drug cartels crossing the border killing people, gang wars, break-in, murder.  This is not what this country is all about.  Since most of the people who cross the border don't speak our language, it behoves the Hispanic to help police their own and make sure that they either go back home or face the music.

The problems

Even though 12 millions or so illegals have already planted roots here in this country, you just can't send them back.  They have created families taken jobs and become part of their communities.  That being said if you break the law there has to be some type of retribution.  I'm sure this is where legislators run into the biggest problems.  I don't have an easy answer for this problem, but when you have 24 people all using the same social securty number, you have problems.

Immigration The hot button topic

Well this problem seems to finally be coming to a head.  Why are people so passionate about this issue?  The answers are clear and not so clear.  We will examine some of these issues and get your opinions on them.  One thing is for sure, with the newly passed legislation in Arizona things won't be getting any calmer any time soon.

Our country is based on a nation of immigrants, all of us came from somewhere other than this place.  At some point our ancestors decided to help make a better life for themselves and their families, so they bundled up all their belongings and head for a brave new world.

This part of the story is where everything gets a little murky.  There are approximately 12 million illegal immigrants here in the US give of take a few thousand.  They like everyone who passed before them hoped for a better life for both themselves and their families.  The problem is they circumvented the process by sneaking over the Mexican border however they could to achieve their goals.  This is not a story about discrimination but rather a story of disregard for the laws and regulations that govern our country.

Our forefathers were pretty smart guys and what was declared back then still holds true today.  Our laws provide for any immigrant to come to our country and not only learn our language but learn our customs so that they can go out into society and become a productive member of our culture.  They are taught language, monetary system, basic laws and everthing else you need to conduct yourself in day to day living.

Illegal immigration skips that part and simply puts a burden on our citizens, government agencies and tax collecting system.
