Its not about Mexico, its about The United States of America.


Firstly, with all these demonstrations it should be noted that only citizens can vote. If you want a voice in US politics you should become a citizen! Second, people entering the US illegally demonstrate that they are willing to break the law from the very onset of their life in America. People smuggle themselves and contraband into the US, this act is criminal by definition. Third, brave Americans die defending the US border, we should give the good men and women of the US Border Patrol the tools they need to do their job. I realize that many of the illegal immigrants enterthe US do to poverty, however I dont think that the issue is really about standard of living issues. The issue is that we need to have a regulated way for people to enter the country. We need to have borders secure enough to keep threats to the national security out. Illegal immigration is a threat to national security. There are legal means to enter the US, people should use them.
