God is not an American Citizen, Jesus is still a Jew

We insist that we love our neighbors as ourselves and don't discriminate based on age or gender, but we want to guard our borders and only let in people who have enough money and an education because otherwise they take our jobs and go to our schools for free and receive health benefits that most of us don't have because we are neither rich enough nor poor enough. They sneak into Our country with the drugs that are being smuggled in and have the audacity to expect to be treated like humans.

Guess what? They are humans. They are not a lot different from the slaves that escaped to the North during the civil war--and the people who helped THEM were considered heroes. They aren't escaping human masters, but they are escaping the very real masters of perpetual and hopeless poverty. They are looking for a place where their children can learn and grow to want something better, and where that something better doesn't involve drugs or crime.

And because they look to the north and hear all of the propaganda about our great nation, they bring their families here--and are magically transformed into criminals. Should they land in almost any of our bigger cities, their children might still grow up to see crime as the only ticket out of poverty--so many of our own children do.

Because "illegals" can't demand any rights, they end up in jobs that don't necessarily pay minimum wage or that pay considerably less than comparable jobs. All the glitz of America is fools gold. It is no easier to move into the middle class here.
