I would submit that one could tie ALL of our domestic ills to illegal aliens and illegal immigration as the driving cause. Anyone wanna play? Education cost? Health care costs? Enviromental impact? Gang violence? Teen pregnancy? Prisons systems?

I basically agree with the notion that it is our country, and we should be able to decide who immigrates and not. I know it's that way in other countries. You can't just up and move to Australia, for instance. They have strict requirements, with a few caveats for refugees and such.

I think a large portion of the problem is the issues that the illegals cause, like the health care cost issues, nonpayment of income tax, refusal to learn the language but demand that citizens learn theirs and so on is a large portion of why there's so much animosity on the subject. How often do you hear of an illegal getting into an accident without any insurance, and then almost nothing happens to them? I have a buddy who's lost his military career because of that exact situation, and there isn't a thing he can do but find another job.

While I sympathize with people wanting to better their situations and provide their children a better life, I really can't sympathize with not doing it the right way. I have ancestors who immigrated, and they had to jump through the hoops. I'm required to get a driver's license, hold insurance on my vehicles, pay taxes, obey the law and so on. I see no reason not to expect it of everyone else.
