Once someone comes here illegal...illegal becomes a way of life and trickles down to the behavior of the kids. It goes from teaching them to milk the system for benefits to little things like cutting in line at Walmart (they skipped the immigration line..why should they wait in any other line?) to parking in a handicapped spot because it's close. It's a culture and a way of life. Look at the DUI's and crime here. This is what is taught to the kids of the illegals for the most part. You can spin it any way you want to be like wordy said ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL. If you are 15 years old and don't have papers you are STILL ILLEGAL regardless of how you got here....just not as responsible for being here ILLEGALLY. They should pass a law that if you bring your kid here illegally it's doing a crime with a minor and it should be a felony...not that it would slow any of them down. |
I know a few people who before they turned 18 were standing in line to get their citizenship because their parents brought them when they were young. Oh and look at the DUI and crime rate..... Look at how many aren't of hispanic origin. Also who's to say they are all Illegal??? I love how you think that just because their skin is a different color than yours they are automatically illegal. I can look at the jail log and see yes there are more hispanics than any other race, but if they are illegal they have ICE holds, and there aren't very many on there with that which means they are probably legal citizens. I'd love to see what's said if my last name ever appeared in the paper, I have a non-white last name, but I am white. My husband is half hispanic but is whiter than I am oh and guess what...... his father is a LEGAL american citizen. Oh my goodness, someone who's not white and is here legally. Who would have thought.
