Illegal means Criminal

I am confused. What is so difficult about the concept of illegal immigration. Illegal means criminal. Why are we allowing people who are here illegally to demonstrate on OUR capitol steps? Why aren't these known criminals deported immediately? Why is our over-taxed (no pun intended) social system overburdened by people who are not even citizens of our country?

Those who would argue that we need to take care of those less fortunate than us fail to understand, or explain, how we can help all. Our responsibility is to our own citizens first and primarily. None of our tax dollars should be going to improve the plight of citizens of other countries; that is the option of individuals.

I accept citizens who come here through legal channels, but illegals should be immediately deported. By very definition, they are criminals. Why would we want them here? They have already proved their blatant disregard for our laws. The kids? Sorry. Their parents are responsible for them...they go home, too.

I am tired of those of us who are legal citizens of this country having their rights revoked and limited on a daily basis, but criminals have an increasing number of *rights*.

Our American young people are having a hard time getting housing because these criminal families are taking up our HUD subsidized housing. Why?

People, we need to take our country back! Get politically active. Write to your congressmen. Spread the word. It's up to us.
