Why Illegal immigration is Bad for America
No nation in the world (including Mexico) allows foreign citizens to illegally enter their country, take up residence, get a job and be treated as if you are a citizen. Yet many Illegal aliens think they have this right because of narrow minded liberals who thinks it’s “mean-spirited” to hold illegals accountable for being here illegally. These liberals have a flawed concept of right and wrong and are doing great harm to American unity and to the rule of law.
What if 20 million Americans went to Mexico and made the same demands on the Mexican government that Mexicans demand of the US government? How would Mexico respond to these ridiculous demands?
Most illegals seem to be nice people who work hard. However, being a nice guy doesn’t change the fact that you are here illegally. If you rear end another car, the police officer will not let you go because you’re a nice guy. Also, a lot of illegals are “nice" only because they are on a public relations campaign to get Americans to be sympathetic to their cause - a blanket amnesty. If you disagree, you will quickly find out that a lot of illegals are really not nice people.
It has been pointed out that there was illegal immigration earlier in our country’s history in an attempt to justify today’s illegals. This is not a valid comparison because: 1. In the past, the US was under-populated so it didn’t matter. Today we are over-populated. 2. Those immigrants loved their adopted country - the USA!
America has limited legal immigration for over a century to what our economy could absorb. Illegal immigration upsets this balance. Illegals are not vetted for a criminal past and disease. Immigrants who come here legally deserve our respect and support.

Latest scams to get into the US
1. Political asylum is being used to bypass immigration law. All of a sudden we have all these people wanting political asylum from Central America. The governments of Central America have been corrupt for decades. Since President Trump has cracked down on illegal immigration, this has become the new way to gain entrance into the US. NO ONE from Central or South America should be granted political asylum. We should accept asylum cases from Ukraine and South Africa.
2. In a 2018 worldwide survey, Gallup found that 158 million people want to move to the U.S.(a) Should we allow everyone in so we are not called “mean-spirited”? If they all claim political asylum status, should we let them all in? We can’t save the world! Adding millions to our population will push housing prices even higher and cause oil, gas, electricity, drinking water, etc., supplies to become tighter and even more expensive then they are now. Would you prefer to live jam packed in a huge metro area crammed with millions of people - like India or China - or live in a place with some breathing room? How much more farmland and forests would you like to see turned into housing developments, apartment complexes and Malls? We are FULL.

3. The latest scam by the political left is picking Bible verses out of context to justify illegal immigration. Jesus said nothing about borders or illegal immigration. Jesus DID give us brains, a conscience and common sense. Americans have the right to forbid people from entering our residence and borders allow our society to forbid people from entering our country who will not benefit society. To screen immigrants requires a border.
4. Illegals use “anchor babies” as their “get out of jail free” card. Illegals have a baby in the US and presto, you have an American Citizen to hide behind.
5. Some believe that we can’t kick illegals out because they do the work Americans won’t do. This might be true is we had one or two million illegals, but absolutely not true with 10 to 15 million illegals in the country. These illegals have taken jobs in every industry in the country and displaced Americans.(a) The US has the H-2A program for foreign guest workers which should be used. A 2013 study showed that immigrants - both legal and illegal - have accounted for all of the job gains in the U.S. labor market since 2000.(b) Many displaced American workers have gone from middle class to borderline poverty.

6. Some Americans of hispanic descent, particularly Mexican descent support illegal immigration because they feel they must stand in solidarity with fellow Mexicans. This is false loyality. Millions of Americans of German descent took up arms against their ancestral homeland in World Wars One and Two. They did this because they were Americans of German descent, NOT Germans living in America. Americans of Mexican descent need to do what’s right and get rid of these false loyalties. (See Naturalization papers from 1889 below)
7. Most Mexicans harbor a grudge against the US, believing the southwest US is stolen Mexican land and they have the right to come here illegally. Not True. The south west US is historically INDIAN land. The Spanish stole it from the Indians. Mexico then lost his land when they attacked the US to start the Mexican American War in 1846.(a)

8. Obama ENCOURAGED illegal immigration. Obama claimed we didn’t have the resources to deal with all the illegals in the U.S., so he had to use prosecutorial discretion. This was a lie by Obama. Obama invented this lame excuse in April 2009 and kept expanding it to grant more and more illegals protection from deportation.(a)

9. Many Mexicans who are part Indian - Mestizo - believe they have the right to ignore our border with Mexico. Mexicans now claim they are not immigrants to the New World, rather ‘natives’ who have been here thousands of years. They declare that “we didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.” The truth is that being part Indian doesn’t make you superior or above the law. It means you're part Indian. Millions of Americans are part Indian. Can Americans with Indian blood ignore the border with Mexico and do as we please? Being Mestizo allows Mexicans to absolve their conscience of deaths of millions of Indians and stealing their land while condemning Americans. Also, the Indians the Spanish intermarried with were all located in modern day Mexico, not the US. So the border never crossed them!! THEY crossed the border.
10. Some people claim ‘white Americans’ or ‘Anglos’ were illegal aliens 400 years ago and WE should be deported. This is a flawed argument for many reasons:
a) If white Americans have to leave, the Spanish in Mexico and all of Latin America would have to leave. Blacks and Asians would have to leave.
b) Anthropologist Russell Thornton has the population at 5 million for the continental US, 2 million for Canada and 65 million Indians for Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands.[x] This means the Spanish stole a lot of land from the Indians. Much of the land in what became the US had no one on it, so it wasn‘t “stolen.”
c) You can’t undo what happened 400 years ago. If what happened 400 years ago needs to be “fixed”, we need to go all around the world and kick lots of people out of lots of countries who didn’t live there 400 years ago. Oh, and who would enforce this forced relocation?
d) There is no rule on how long someone has to live in a place before they become a ‘native.’ Many whites have been here for over 100 years and many over 200 years. That’s long enough to be a native.
e) The Indians would have to pay whites for all the upgrades - homes, highways, etc. There is a big cost difference between a teepee and a modern home. Since the Indians couldn’t pay it, we would retain possession.
f) We would take all of white America’s inventions with us. The Indians would have to live the way they did before the white man arrived - in teepees and only bow and arrows to hunt for food. No horses (they were imported from Europe), no firearms to hunt with, no screens to keep bugs out of your teepee and no air conditioning.
g) What about Americans who are part Indian? Can they stay?
h) Who did the Indians kick out when they arrived in North America from Central Asia? What’s their punishment?
Conclusion: America can NOT be replaced by ANYONE in the world. If all non-Indians left America, America would be depopulated, the world economy would collapse and lots of people in Africa would starve to death. The US military would disappear, Russia would rule the world and occupy what used to be the USA and take all the land from the Indians.
