Law Enforcement Does Not Mean We HATE You!

I know some wonderful people who live in the United Kingdom.  They have tried for years to legally come to the United States to live and work, but have been unable to find a sponsor.  They are law abiding people who recognize and respect US immigration laws.

I also have many friends who have gone through the long and sometimes expensive immigration process and are now proud American Citizens.  While they still love their birth country, they have learned to speak and write English, and have adopted the customs and laws of the US.  One of them got upset with me the other day when I bought a Japanese automobile instead of one made in America.  He is a true blue American.  

Then there are others, like those in this photo, who have come to the US illegally.  They do not recognize or respect the US immigration laws.  Some climbed over a fence. Others came in the trunk of a car.  Some walked through a tunnel.  Many walked through the hot deserts without food or water.  There are also some who swam across a river or two.  However they got here, many to not embrace US customs and tradtions.  They refuse to learn English and they wave their native flags in our faces.  They over-crowd our hospitals, our jails and prisons, and they pack our school classrooms.  They live off state welfare and burden our country with their problems, their graffiti and their gangs.

For strange political reasons, our corrupt polititions refuse to enforce our US immigration laws.  The border states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are forced to accept most of the cost of this failure by the Federal Government.  They have appealed for financial aid from the Federal Governemt for years without help.

Finally the state of Arizona says "Enough is Enough!"  We are no longer willing to sponsor these illegals in our financially strapped state.  "If the Federal Government is unwilling to enforce their own laws, then we will use our own police force to do it for them."

And then come the marches and the protests.  "Why do you HATE us?" they cry,  "We are humans, just like you."  For some reason these illegals think we HATE them.  I don't know where this idea originates.  Just because we try to enforce the laws of our country, these people think it is out of HATE!  HATE has nothing to do with law enforcement.  We just expect those who come to the US to obey the same laws that we must follow.  Why should they be any different?

With the help of our corrupt and impotent Federal Government, these illegal immigrants have made a mockery of our system of immigration law as well as our ability to protect the borders of our own country.
