Thoughts on immigration

There's a new immigration law in Georgia, one that thousands are protesting.

I looked it over, and it doesn't seem so harsh. Well, at least not compared to similar laws in Arizona or Utah. But it does get me thinking about my stance on immigration.

All the illegal immigrants I have met in my life are much kinder souls than any of the politicians I have met. They are humble. They don't assume to be better than anyone. They know many people wouldn't want them to be here, but they're working two or three jobs that most Americans won't work so they can send money home to their families.

How many Americans really want to "stoop so low" to take the jobs these people take gladly? Minimum wage, emptying trash at a mall or opening a McDonald's at 4:30 in the morning? If it weren't for illegal immigrants­, this country would be fucked.

Oh, and your white great-gran­dparents? They were illegals too. What gives you the privilege to deny these people a better life like all of our ancestors wanted?

  1. Our schools are crammed to capacity, full of the children of illegal aliens,
    the health system slowly falling apart as more hospitals fail of wanton
    families to be treated; many of these institutions unable to survive. Then we
    have the US penal system choked with illegal alien criminals, that is yet
    another tax hike on the American population. The TEA PARTY is our only remedy
    as the Congress, have no sense of urgency to the impending financial crash.
    Perhaps Rep. Michele Bachman of Minnesota, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sarah
    Palin of Alaska; all regarded as strong supporters of the ever growing TEA
    PARTY. Only the TEA PARTY leaders seem to understand the financial predicament
    we have truly manufactured for ourselves, from the years of corruption within
    equal parties. The TEA PARTY has astounded both political parties in power, and
    will release us from the years of rot and poor or intentional mismanagement to
    gain favor with open border lobbyists. The TEA PARTY has sworn to the major
    majority of the American people, no new amnesties of any kind, which includes
    the dismantling of Sanctuary cities and towns, no dream Acts or anything
    assigned to foreigners who broke our stagnant laws.

    To accomplish this task we must insist our government implement mandatory
    E-Verify and Secure Communities, which will track down both illegal workers and
    criminal illegal aliens. There must be no compromises, but that Congress should
    enforce these laws, without interference from the open border zealots or the elitist
    groups discount labor.

    You should also introduce yourself to the people who run this devastated
    country at the Senate—202-224–3121/ House—202-225–3121 and tell them it’s time
    to depart of fight for the American taxpayer.
