Diplomats from Mexico and Central America on Monday demanded guest worker programs and the legalization of undocumented migrants in the United States, while criticizing a U.S. proposal for tougher border enforcement.Meeting in Mexico's capital, the regional officials pledged to do more to fight migrant trafficking, but indirectly condemned a U.S. bill that would make illegal entry a felony and extend border walls.
Oh, sure. Right. They're demanding that the United States give up its sovereign right to protect her borders.
I. Don't. Think. So.
Especially since there are groups like Ms-13 may be targeting our border patrol agents:
A memo from the US Department of Homeland Security is warning that an international street gang is targeting border patrol agents for assassination as retaliation for tighter border security.The gang is Mara Salvatrucha, better known as MS-13, and is said to have 30,000 members in 33 US states and throughout Mexico and Central America. It operates smuggling drugs, weapons and illegal immigrants across the US border.
The homeland security memo says that MS-13 is upset that increased border security aimed at stopping terrorists and illegal immigrants is hurting that gang's smuggling business.
Awwww. Too bad. You know what? I have a response to those MS-13 criminals: why don't we just let the border patrol shoot first and ask questions later?
And, yes, all illegal aliens are criminals, no matter what Central American diplomats may say
"Migrants, regardless of their migratory status, should not be treated like criminals," they said.
... Part of the definition of being illegal, wouldn't you say? So, why shouldn't we treat them like criminals?
I'm happy to welcome immigrants to this country; I have no bias against them... so long as they come in legally. I want good, solid, law-abiding people to come here, because they will help build and strengthen our country. I also rather like a guest-worker program, but anyone who has come here illegally ought to be barred from it for, oh, at least 20 years.
America is happy to welcome immigrants with open arms, but America is a country under the rule of law (at least, that's the ideal). If you break the law, you pay the consequences. Period.
Hey here is my two cents... Illegal immigration. There are two sides to every story. If you came here from a "Third World Country" where you watched your mother of 65 work 12 hour days for 5 dollars no not per hour but for the entire day and the President of you country controlled what and when you did at all times and you were called a Democracy, You would do what I did pay 16,000.00 dollars and risk your life to come here and try to make enough money to help your mother pay for her medication and hospitalization. I have broken your law yes but I never harmed any one. My boss "an American Citizen did not want to have taxes taken out on me so she could pay my 4.75 an hour tell me I am taking a job away from an American. I wash dishes. Yes there are bad Immigrants but there are also bad Americans who break the law every day and get away with it, by paying the Illegal Immigrants under the table and under the Hourly wage per hour. but we don't complain, or go on strike, or ask for more an hour. We come to work every day proud to clean your floors, dishes, houses, paint, construction, pick fruit, etc. So if you think it is okay for American Express to take high paying jobs and send them to China and it is not okay for immigrants to take the 4.50 an hour jobs than you take that job and wash them. As for the drug pushers from Mexicao I have that one figures out. Hey America STOP DOING DRUGS!!!! I have never in my life touched a ciggerett or a drug and I hate alchohol. So you keep doing drugs, killing your babies, and drinking and driving while I just go to my 12 hour a day job that pays me 4.50 an hour with no overtime. Thank you, Philberto
