Illegal aliens are invading the United States. To invade a country, by any definition, means to enter with hostile intent or to encroach upon. Many will cry that this country was built by immigrants. They compare the invasion of today with the German, Japanese and Irish immigrants who left persecution and famine in the past. They are confused.

This country was not built by immigrants. Not even close. The immigrants of yesterday all came with the full knowledge and complete understanding that they must integrate into the American culture. They embraced the opportunities that were given to them and expounded upon them. They were required to learn the English language and they did so willingly. They understood that if you do not work, you do not eat.

Today we have millions and millions of illegal aliens in America who believe that we should bear them gifts. They abuse the welfare system and make up a large part of the drunk driving accidents that happen every day. All without car insurance to cover the victims and their families. They come with no education and expect the United States tax payers to help them out. This is, of course, because they don't want to help reform their own countries. It is too much like work, I suppose?

Many don't realize that in 2004 L.A. county spent 1.4 billion dollars to reprint ballots in Spanish and English. That's American tax money. Most polls show that by 2025 the predominant language in the U.S. will be Spanish. Even though over 95% of all legal citizens speak English as their first language.

The abuse to the Social Security system will never recover from the pounding it has taken from the invading Mexicans. They have not paid one dime into the SS system and yet they feel as though they are entitled to it. In their minds, we stole this land and they are just getting their just desserts.

The other side of this debate is that these invaders are just coming to immigrate. Immigrates very definition stands opposed to this. To come into a country as a settler means that you want to become a part of that culture. It means that you want to assimilate into the predominant culture already existing. No one with eyes can say that is what is happening today.

We have a good, solid immigration policy. It is there for a reason. Anyone not willing to abide by that policy should be deported posthaste. If they choose to continue to ignore that policy, they should be dealt with, in whatever way necessary to insure this country's safety.

Those on the other side of this debate will feel differently when your doctor, lawyer,dentist and loan officer do not speak their language and they are not required too. You will feel differently when you have no Social Security to depend upon. Americans must take a stand before there is nothing left to stand for.

One final little point. Recently, a high school in California, that is entirely Mexican and Spanish speaking, hung the Mexican flag above the American flag. They didn't just leave it there. They hung the American flag upside down. This symbolizes defeat. No one did a thing! They smack the very hand that feeds them. American tax dollars are paying for interpreters so that they can understand what they are being taught in the American education system. By the way, over 80% of those kids parents are here illegally. It is invasion, period.
