If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...
You are part of the problem!
It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!
BUT, IT's NOT TO LATE YET!
SO, PASS THIS ALONG...
You make an excellent point. I like your logic. It is easy to follow, and, for the most part, spelled correctly. And, you know what? I agree with you! Let's make them legal, just like someone long ago made our forefathers legal, then there would BE no illegals to worry about, and everyone would have to pay their fair share. Problem solved.
By the way, my Dad says hello. Your posts made his day they were so funny. He thought the term slum lord was hilarious. It's THAT kind of attitude that makes those military folks dig in their heels and do the exact opposite of what you want. You may see 20 cars parked next door next time you look out! And, knowing my Dad, you may just see the color green, too.
People like you never learned the value of tactful negotiation - making something you want (and, I believe you DESERVE a clean, safe neighborhood) look good to your opponent so he or she will want it, too. It's much harder than what you guys are doing, but pays off in the long run. You probably don't have the stomach for that sort of thing, though, or the skill.
