I think that many of those illegal immigrants provide many benefits to all of us, legal residents. For one, I would not like (or anyone I know) working on the fields, I heard the pay is not great. And I would also not like paying double, or triple for my vegetables/fruits. And what about all the USA nationals living in Mexico or other Latin countries illegally? Have you been in Mexico recently? Last time I was there, it look like the USA, I am referring to all the USA business there. I do not see many Mexican business in the USA, talk about Treaties. I rest my case. As far as I am concerned, there should be no borders; we are all after all the same, there should only be one race "The Human race." As Jesus said, "What you do for the least of them, you do to me..." I think that this whole illegal immigration things has been blown out of proportion.

How many millions of our tax dollars, donations and American man-hours go to the less fortunate countries to provide safe food and health care. The point you are missing is that we don't have to provide those "rights" here. The resources I pay for with my tax dollars are for my US Citizen wife and children. The Anchor Baby you mention is another point all together. It is a direct violation of our US Constitution, specifically the 14th amendment, section 1. The other issues you mention have nothing to do with immigration and/or anchor babies. Point in fact - when civilians are hit by our fire, we are striking insurgent/terrorist targets that are usually hidden in civilian areas such as hospitals or school in an act of bold face cowardice. We do not intentionally strike out at civilian targets as the terrorists have always done. I understand that you are probably a socialist and probably a liberal, but I have worked hard (retired military and still working) to pay my tax dollars and raise my own family and care for our elderly and infirm parents (which is my responsibility, by the way, not yours) to have any resources that may have been available to me and mine taken away or over-ran by the current tsunami of illegal immigrants. Please read more of my blogs for an education. I don't just shoot from the hip, but usually have a documented foundation (usually the US Constitution) for my comments. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. May God bless you and yours. No one; I repeat – NO One is trying to deny any of these individuals their “universal human rights”.
