Dear Mr.Horne,
I am quoting your post "I think what bothers me the most however is that we have millions of illegal aliens who didn't have to go through this massive bureaucracy to get here and still get the benefits of being in America." People who cross the border illegally do so because their goverment is so corrupt that they cant make a living doing any type of work in their countrys...and if you think living in fear, being looked at as garbage, violation of rights and discrimination towards those illegal is "getting the benefits of america" then something is totally wrong. I know they try to come to America in a llegal manner but when the goverment makes it extremeley difficult then those illegals will sacrifice their rights just to be able to earn below minimum wage to be able to support their loved ones. What would you do in such situation? |

I totally understand why people enter this country illegally. The blog is about how much I dislike the hypocrisy of government bureaucracy. It doesn't bother me that people come here illegally. What bothers me is that government creates this mountain of paper work which is supposedly protecting our borders, but is just a sham. I think it should be simpler to apply to come here legally.
I might also add that my reference to "getting the benefits of America" wasn't the best choice of words. I was referring to government "welfare" benefits. So, I think I might add that I'm a libertarian and don't believe in government welfare in the first place, whether for U.S. Citizens or illegal immigrants. I also think that America is partially responsible for the problems in other countries. We do not stand for human rights internationally the way we should. We support countries that oppress their citizens so American corporations can manufacture cheap goods for Americans. We should stand for human rights for all people and if we did, we might be able to really improve conditions worldwide. I've actually started some articles addressing my actual perspective on freedom and American constitutional government, but I haven't finished them, so I haven't posted them yet. |
