Lighting Up the Border
I, for one, am in favor of using military force to stop this flood of illegal aliens coming across and draining our state and other states dry. Our schools and health facilities on the border are coming apart at the seams. This problem is affecting us in many ways, such as uninsured motorist insurance, welfare, food stamps, crime, slums, etc., that we must at least close the valve until we can stabilize our economy.
Other countries, such as Germany, put limits on or entirely stop immigration when it threatens them economically. This isn’t even immigration we’re talking about but a free-for-all for those who decide to pick up and just walk across the border. They have nothing to lose and their gain is ultimately going to be our loss.
