Life is better with freedom.
Dozens of Dehydrated Illegals Pour Out of Semi in Texas
OBSERVATIONS ON IMMIGRATION:
Millions of people are illegally crossing the border and sneaking into the United States of America. A lot of the things politicians say and polices they have, encourage people to sneak into our country illegally. Some of the people sneaking in end up getting robbed, raped, or murdered by the people smuggling them in.
Illegal immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other social benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law. A lot of these people who are sneaking in illegally are poor. They have no money. They can't legally get hired in America because it would be illegal to hire them and do not qualify for social benefit programs.
Illegal immigrants who do not get caught sneaking into the United States and give birth to a child, have what is called citizen children. Citizen children are the children of illegal immigrants - often referred to as "anchor babies" - they are considered Untied States citizens and can not be kicked out and do qualify for all of the United States social benefits (welfare, food stamps, etc...).
So the government of the United States can kick out the illegal immigrant parents of citizen children but may not because they can't kick out the babies born here and then it would be the United States taxpayers responsibility to pay and raise the citizen children if they throw the illegal immigrant parents out of the country.
QUESTIONS:
- If someone sneaks into the United States illegally, can they get welfare, food stamps, etc...?
- If someone sneaks into the United States illegally, can they legally get a job?
- If someone sneaks into the United States illegally, what would they have to do to survive?
- Who would be responsible for paying for the anchor babies, if there illegal immigrant parents are deported?
- Who would be responsible for raising the anchor babies, if there illegal immigrant parents are deported?
SUMMARY:
I have split feelings about illegal immigration. I understand that most of the people are looking for a better life, freedom, or a job so they can feed there family. So I kind of feel we should welcome them with open arms. Then there is also the other side the coin.
It is not fair to the people who go through the process legally. It is kind of like your waiting on a long line for a long time and someone walks over to the front of the line and cuts in front of you.
If anyone can enter illegally, then you don't really have borders, and without borders your not really a country. Say you live in your home or apartment and then one day someone removes the front door and anybody can move in with you. If this is not illegal to do then it is not really your house or apartment anymore, if you have no say over who can move in.
IN CLOSING:
All people are created equal and have certain individual rights which are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individual rights cannot be given away or taken away. We can do as we please within our rights, as long as we do not violate the rights of others. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
We own ourselves. No one can claim even partial ownership over you without violating your rights. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
All interactions between people should be voluntary.
To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
