Much has been said lately about Arizona’s new law regarding illegal immigrants. Now the U.S. government is suing the state. This may seem far fetched, but it is true. Some of Arizona’s politicians have been lying regarding illegal immigrants coming into their state and why.

Illegal immigrants have long been entering the U.S. through its borders, mostly being trucked in or sneaking in during the dead of night. There are not enough border patrols to keep illegals out of the U.S. These immigrants will work for pennies cleaning, picking produce, and doing all sorts of manual jobs that some U.S. citizens feel are below them. This has been going on for centuries and now there is a big debate about the Mexicans coming into the country.

It has been claimed that there are between 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. right now. Where are they going? Where are they living? Working? Sending their children to school? Getting medical care when necessary? Who is paying for all this? They can’t just squeeze under the radar and disappear when necessary. Are farmers and others who hire these illegals also guilty of contributing to the problem?

Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring, a conservative grassroots organization, suggested recently that the U.S. first classify illegal presence in the U.S. as a felony. Secondly, “offer a specific period of time in which people here illegally who have not committed other serious crimes may plead guilty to the felony and receive a suspended sentence and permission to remain in the U.S. as a permanent legal resident.” These people would never be able to become citizens, could not run for any political offices or vote.

America was built by immigrants. Most have been welcomed through our borders without any problems. Why then the fact that illegal immigrants who have not registered as coming into the country are being targeted? Many have been lead to believe the U.S. is a country of fabulous wealth and prosperity. I am sure many find this was a lie once they have been here for a while.

Do you feel we should allow people to come across the borders, live and work here in the U.S. if they sign an agreement when they cross? Or do all the illegal immigrants need to be sent back to where they came from? I value your opinion on this subject. Too many are taking jobs that Americans could do now since unemployment is so high. Why have illegal immigrants do the work? Why should we feed, clothe, and help maintain a lifestyle for them when Americans who have been born here are in need? Think about it.
