If you are a person from another country and you would like to eventually become a citizen, or work here, how about trying to apply first from your side of the border and respect our immigration laws. At least be patient until the laws are changed. Don't come gang-busting across poorly guarded borders and bullying politicians to change laws to suit yourselves. America is a nation of laws and the first rule of thumb should be for those seeking work and/or citizenship in the US is to respect our laws. Even immigration law. I have compassion for the desperate people south of the border and I see a place for some in business that needs them, but I have no respect for anyone who breaks the law by crossing our borders, seeking under the table wages, and marching in the streets to change social laws to suit them like they have a right to do so. Yes I know some marching are citizens and have every right to protest or push for anything they want, but let's not encourage large groups of people from storming across our borders at will and then dictate policy. Please follow our laws, respect them, and maybe things will work out for the best for both worlds. Let's get off to a good start on this immigration issue. The facts are that illegal immigration undermines salaries and standards in communities. Illegal immigration does not have to be accepted, and that border control can be enforced. There is nothing racist about desiring immigration controls - in fact, it is damaging to race relation to allow the illegal mass entry into the country from one group only (Mexicans). Would you agree with this or disagree with this ?
