I just know some folks that would take years to get a visa and they have a family to feed. They came in illegally but besides that they are beyond honest and hard working.
While i have empathy for anyone wanting to improve their quality of life, people MUST enter our country LEGALLY.
Illegal immigration is a slap in the face to all of our Legal Immigrants. My Mother worked for a Federal Judge and I was allowed to sit in the back of the Courtroom for the Naturalization Ceremony's.
All applicants for Naturalization Citizenship had to pass courses in American History and Government which I daresay few of us could pass. They then took an Oath and were presented with their Naturalization Certificate and an American Flag. ππΊπ²
It was Very Moving and even though I was a child, I cried. I knew I had witnessed something very special.
They were invited into the Judge's Chamber to have coffee and cookies.
Ask a Naturalized Citizen how they feel about illegals...
My mother immigrated here from Sweden. At the time you needed a finatial sponsor,to make sure you are not a burden on taxpayers. If people were not contributing to society, they would be deported.
Now she has her citizenship and takes her voting more serious than most natural born Americans.
I think we had a recent wave of undesirables be persuaded to leave their country and join the invasion. It was a total open border. And while I agree in principle, I myself have been in situations where I've had to take desperate measures when it comes to taking care of the family. Although illegal I don't necessarily find crossing a border immoral. But i guess rules are rules.
I've been disabled since I was 38. I had 2 children to care for at that age. So, in desperation to take care of my children, should I have been able to go shoplifting or robbing a bank to accomplish that? I have a funny feeling I'd be sitting in prison for breaking the law, starving children or not. So NO, breaking the law to care for your family doesn't cut it for me. Breaking the law is breaking the law. I have yet to see an American citizen get a judicial pass due to hardship after breaking the law. Why are we supposed to give one to people who somehow managed to traverse great distances to get here illegally?
I'm not talking about shoplifting or robbing banks. More like not having a piece of paper to wash dishes, roofing or cut lawns. Can't fault a person for working. Some people are very legalistic, some are practical.
