a controversial topic

for reasons i do not understand, the concept of illegal aliens in our country is controversial. what is controversial about people breaking laws? it is straightforward.

** there are laws against entering the country the way millions of people enter: by sneaking over the borders.
** there are laws against hiring these people.
** there are laws against providing social services to them.
** there are laws against providing in-state college tuition to them.

that's a quick, short list of 4 types of laws that are being broken. if these laws were consistently enforced, the number of illegal aliens would decrease b/c being here illegally would no longer be lucrative. we do not need to pile them into buses & ship them back from whence they came. we do not need to incarcerate them. we need to enforce the existing laws, and attrition will naturally occur.

why do we need to do this? b/c services that are owed to tax-paying citizens of this country are being provided to non-tax-paying, non-citizens -- subsidized by the tax-paying citizens without our consent. this is a breach of the agreement we make with our government: to collect & pool our money and use it to provide services we could not individually affort to supply for ourselves.
