Don't look at me. I am in favor of enforcing the law, and in the case of immigration law tightening it considerably. Illegal aliens should be tracked down, arrested, and deported-- and repeat offenders should lose the option of entering the country legally.
But I'm not going to sit here and allow someone to try to claim that they're "lazy" or that they're coming here for Welfare benefits. They come here to
work, even if they're working illegally and not paying their taxes. They're not bad folk, and I think it's a crying shame that they aren't trying to become real Americans and that we're forced to send them back.
Save the "lazy" or "Welfare fraud" arguments for people they apply to-- like those goddamned Mormon fundies in Utah and Arizona, who are native-born citizens of these United States.
