Illegal Immigration is a minor law issue.

I was reading my Sunday paper and in the opinion section (They call it “Perspective” ) I found a an interesting opinion, one was titled “We all Break the Law” by Carl F Dunbar of Blythe.

It’s not really breaking the “law” that so many people get incensed about. More truthfully, it’s what law is being broken and who’s breaking it that brings an uproar.

For instance, right now the most publicized and ranted about thing is what some have called the “swarms of illegal immigrants” in the U.S. Case in point: recent stories about an “illegal” who was stopped for whatever reason and had her car towed away. Bleeding hearts and spiteful minds contested the rightness and/or wrongness of it. Yet, if it had been a black person, a white person or even an Asian person, you probably wouldn’t have heard one peep about it.

Amazingly, there is one thing that the articles and reader letters have in common, regardless of which point of view they espouse. There is a 99.9 percent chance that the words were written by a “lawbreaker.” Even these words.

Not me, not you, not your preacher or your sheriff, not your chief of police nor your political representatives — not even your biggest hero or heroine — not one person age 18 or older living in the U.S. could pass a polygraph claiming they had never in life broken a law! Because we all decide which laws we will obey and which we will ignore.

Have you never once broken a speed limit, made an illegal turn, littered or “sampled” a piece of fruit in a grocery market? Ever claimed a tax deduction you were not entitled to, got it and kept it? Have you ever let your mutt use private property as a toilet? Ever slandered someone and gotten away with it? Or, the latest biggie to rate the “it must be for everyone but me” classification, have you already violated the new hands-free cell phone law? No, you’re innocent? Please.

Whether they came here for a chance at a better life or for the lucrative criminal opportunities an open society provides, to an “illegal” laws pertaining to legal entrance and residence are no more important than a no U-turn sign on an empty street with no cops at 3 a.m. is to you. So, make your point about illegal immigration, but leave the “holier than thou” stuff in the trash.

Unless, of course, you are in that 0.1 percent to whom none of this applies.

Mr Dunbar believes that we all have broken a law, and we should not use the law as an argument when discussing ILLEGAL Immigration. I do agree with one part of his opinion though:

“recent stories about an “illegal” who was stopped for whatever reason and had her car towed away. Bleeding hearts and spiteful minds contested the rightness and/or wrongness of it. Yet, if it had been a black person, a white person or even an Asian person, you probably wouldn’t have heard one peep about it.”

Other than that, he misses the mark by a huge margin.
Here’s why:
As we break the laws he cites, such as speeding, littering, illegal turns and stealing, we are subject to get caught, when we get caught there is a consequence for that action. If it’s speeding or littering we pay a fine, if it’s stealing we can serve time in jail. ALL of those things for us LEGAL immigrants leave a record, for the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, the consequence is far too light to deter the crime, and in some cases like “Sanctuary Cities” there is no consequence at all.

We have yet to see a group of “Speeders” parade down streets demanding higher power cars so they can go faster. Nor have we seen thieves marching and demanding the keys to stores to make it easier for them to steal. (In reference to the ILLEGAL Immigration parades/protests witnessed by the world via our liberal biased media)

When we break the laws he cites, we break them knowing the laws are there for a reason, we choose to break them for what ever reason, but we do not expect the laws to be changed so we don’t have to obey them.

Here is a situation my sons friend found himself in:
An unlicensed, uninsured IILLEGAL IMMIGRANT driving a 2005 Nissan, hit my sons friends car. The ILLEGAL Immigrant was found to be at fault, the officer cited him for driving WOL, and No Insurance and towed his car (It was still drivable) MY sons friend had only liability on his car (It was only worth 2.5k and he had worked for 6 months to pay it off) it was totaled. His insurance only pays if HE is at fault, and they just pay for the OTHER vehicle. He has a no fault clause, but it takes for ever to pay up and sometimes courts must get involved…(Another topic for another day) The result is: The ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, that shouldn’t even be here, costs the LEGAL IMMIGRANT kid a car, the inconvenience of being without a ride, and the HARD WORK of having to save up and buy another car because an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT chose to break ANOTHER LAW!. If the accident was worse and the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT seriously injured or killed the kid, is the OPEN BORDER worth it?

Look, I understand wanting to better your life, I understand wanting better things for your kids. I would probably have left Mexico myself had I been born there, BUT when I got here, I’d learn the language, I’d assimilate into my new home, and I would try very hard to make myself a valuable member of society or at the very least do no harm. And in the beginning that is exactly what the ILLEGAL Immigrants did, then the KIDS started growing up, and they had kids, then we start seeing the kinds of things the ORIGINAL ILLEGAL Immigrant left in Mexico show up here.
The assimilation factor is what is missing, the pride in your new country is what’s missing, the gratitude for your new home is what’s missing. And LEGAL Immigrants are paying the price.

Don’t complicate matters, it is simple and it is not too hard to figure out.
Gratitude, Respect and Assimilation are what the ILLEGAL Immigrants need to bring, what they have been bringing is Drugs, Gangs, and Mayhem, although it generally doesn’t show up until the first ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS kids are in school.

Illegal Immigration is at the root of a lot of our nations problems, it is not the ones coming over now to work in the fields or as they say “Earn a better life”, it is their offspring that turn into MS-13’s or Mexican Mafia members. I don’t mean to generalize and say ALL of the ILLEGAL Immigrants kids become gang members. But a lot of them do, and if even ONE of them kills your KID, what is YOUR recourse? IF one of them makes your kid a cripple or otherwise incapacitated, You would want to know why, wouldn’t you? WHY is asked in the news after an ILLEGAL Immigrant kills or injures someone, but then it’s too damn late!

The drain ILLEGAL Immigration puts on our infrastructure, education, health care, and public services are astronomical. And we are supposed to absorb a percentage of it, which we have done, but now the percentage of absorbent vs. the resources being drained has reached critical mass, the Education and Prison system are so closely tied together that WARDEN is also being used as the principles job description of MANY High Schools in border States.

The problem is not our “Holier than thou” use of the LAW.
The LAW is the only term those of us that believe a secured border is necessary can use without being called a “Racist”. LAW is color blind, LAW is the fabric of our society and the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT breaks the LAW every minute they are in America.
Ok now you guys can quit calling me a racist, start calling me a LAWYER. ( I am not sure which is worse though)
