What part of illegal alien is so difficult to understand? Apparently, there are those who are either too confused, too unwilling or too incapable of understanding the meaning of those simple words. Instead, they'd rather emotionalize any debate on illegal immigration with cries of racism, discrimination and an alleged lack of compassion for our fellow human beings. They choose this course rather than honestly dealing with the established fact we are a nation of laws - laws intended and necessary to preserve civility and order for our common good.
I, for one, refuse to be intimidated or influenced by such capricious, illogical labels and accusations. Name-calling is certainly a last resort for the weak, the ignorant and the indefensible.
Perhaps a quick refresher on immigration law would prove useful. Title 8, Section 1325 of the US Code, Improper Entry by Alien states the following:
"Any citizen of any country other than the United States who: Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact; ...has committed a federal crime. Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison...............

In the past 6 or 7 years, the Hispanic population in Riverside, CA. has increased by 600,000 people. Now you add 600,000 primarily young people into ANY community in the U.S. overnight, and the economy and employment is going to suffer some serious issues.
1/3 of California is foreign born.
“I read an artcle yesterday stating that our Military may help secure the border if Mexico’s drug violence spills over.”
Great! Will they be armed this time?
One thing that conerns me is that Islamic terrorists can easily enter the country from Mexico disguised as hispanics.
A shame illegal immigration was not an issue in the campaign.
I’m with you. Actually, illegal immigration was indirectly a major issue in the form of the ACORN issue.
