Here We Go Again

My ancestors came to America 3 or 4  hundred years ago.
They were from mostly from  Northern Europe.
And as far as I know they entered legally through ports on the East Coast.

So perhaps I don't understand the problems facing Hispanics
 and other minorities  who sneak into the country
any way they can.
Now I don't blame them from wanting to come to live in this country.
With all of our problems there is a lots of things we do right.
Allowing illegal immigrates to protest in the streets,
demanding their rights
would not be allowed in most of the countries
they escaped from.

The problem as I see it is;
 Do we just  throw the borders open
 and say come one and come all.
 Or we control our population growth to match our resources
and provide for a system of immigration.

Now as I understand it, 
we do have some Federal  laws that govern immigration.
But they  are  never enforced  at all  or  rarely
 based on the political whims of our politicians.
 Rather than securing our borders  they  wait until the
illegal population swelled up
and them just declare it would be
to hard to send them back to their former countries,
so all is forgiven.
Mostly to win the votes so they can pursue their own agendas.

Now the way we are set up is that States
can not pass laws to change federal laws
but can pass laws that back up Federal laws
Arizona has had their citizens  murdered
and resources stolen, they are feed up.
They have drawn a line in the sand and 
they said
no more. 

My point is if I want to cash a check,
or enter into a business relationship,
 or get a drivers license,
I have to show an I.D.
If a person  commits a crime or breaks the law,
And a  peace officer notices that the person
doesn't speak English,
has no driver license, or any  proper Id,
He may  be led to believe,
that person should prove he is here legally.
That is not racial profiling. 
If the majority of these illegal turn out to be Hispanic.
That is their own  behavior  that is causing  the problem.

Do you want to help keep out Terrorists ?
 Securing our borders may help keep some of  them out.
Do you want the gang wars and other problems  in Mexico
to spill over into Arizona and Texas.?

If is against the state law to drive with out a

drivers license or proof of insurance.
 It is against the law, to be in this county illegally.
Our un-invited  visitors, 
don't seem to understand the word illegal.

  While the major of the families that come here
may be hard working  people ,
who just want a chance at the American Dream,
There is too many other  illegal's ,
that have no respect for law
property rights  or know how to act in a civilized way.

My solutions is to send  all of them all back
to where they came from .
Then we can  start all over again doing it right.
Put in an express line .
 Let   those who  want to come here
get  their back ground checks, learn to speak English
and have resources to live ,
with out taxing our welfare systems .
We could give  them priority
We all  would welcome them.
Let them come in the front door;
Then they would not have to worry about being called
 "Wetbacks"
Oh dear,  I forgot that word is not politically correct.

Forgive us, but we  just don't want  all  the low class criminals types.
 being sent to us  because  their home countries,
 be it Mexico or other counties ,
 can't solve their own problems or just want to get rid of their  rift -raft.

Just the opinion of an old lady, but  this is  how I see it.
Agree or not let me know your thoughts on the matter
