Breaking Down Borders

It is official - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has lost her mind. Speaker Pelosi told a group of legal and illegal immigrants that the U.S. enforcement of the immigration laws are "un-American" and should be changed. Apparently the deportation raids on individuals who broke the law by entering this great country illegally should be stopped. Nancy seems to believe that breaking families up and tearing parents away from their children is ridiculous. I agree if that were the case. Our country has been built on the sweat and blood of immigrants. My family came from Ireland and Italy, but guess what they came here legally. They did not break any laws and filed all the needed paperwork. These statements made by Pelosi are an insult to all hard working legal immigrants all over the United States.

Deportation raids are a necessary part of life in the United States. It is estimated that we have a minimum of 12 million illegal immigrants already residing in the country. These illegal immigrants are a drain on the tax paying Americans who are now put in direct competition for lower paying jobs. California is almost bankrupt. Illegal immigrants cost the tax payers millions of dollars a year in medical expenses alone. When an illegal immigrant visits a hospital with no insurance who do you think pays for all the services. The American tax payers do. Mrs. Pelosi may not have a problem with that but most Americans do. We should not be rewarding people who are breaking the law. I understand that people want a better life for themselves and their family, but what kind of example are they setting for the same children they want to better by breaking the law. In my opinion a very poor one.

Nancy Pelosi is pandering to a minority group of voters - I think it is time she starts to listen to the majority in the United States. This is amazing. The leader of Congress is advocating law enforcement to disregard the laws of the nation. What is next? It is okay to murder or rape as long as you say you are sorry. The sad part is with Obama in the White House and the Democrats in control of the Congress it is only a matter of time before we throw out all immigration laws and open the flood gates. I guess national security is no longer a concern for Mrs. Pelosi. It must be nice to live in Pelosi's world. Just wait until something happens to one of her family members.
