Borders;For The Betterment of America

Having read many different articles on this particular subject, and being the news-hound that I am, I find it very hard to believe that so many americans seem to miss the point of this debate, and that point is, securing our borders Immediately!

After going through several different articles on the problem of illegal immigration into this country, I find that the numbers and precentages cited by most writers about escalating crime and drugs, etc. are for the largest part, correct. When other writers speak about the crime, and numbers of illegal immigrants in our prisons, etc. that are involved in these issue's, why is it so hard for the majority of americans to be, pro-american?

To put this issue in plain words for everyone to see and understand, without the graphs and percentages and political rhetoric, it's time for americans to think about the right's and guarantees of americans granted by our constitution!

I personally have no problem with immigration when it's done the right way! But when it directly affects millions of american jobs, our economy, and everything in between, it's time to say,"Enough is Enough"!

It's time to take care of americans, and America! No, I'm not an economist or a politician. I'm just an average american joe who was born and raised in this country, and I'm sick and tired of hearing about the rights of illegal immigrants when they come into my country illegally!

It's way past time to build bigger fences, and use every electronic deterrent in our formidable arsenal to keep illegals out of OUR country! It's time for the politicians to actually listen to the majority of US citizens in this country! It's time to take care of our own, for just once!

We have spectacular laws, and programs set up in the united states to take care of it's population. Who appointed us the caretakers of the third world anyway? I know I certainly was not asked to vote on such a proposal! Just for the record my friends. Americans are the most hated society in the entire world! If you don't believe that statement, I suggest you do some serious research on your own. I'm absolutely positive you'll find I'm correct in this statement.

I want everyone to know that this is not some kind of rant here! I've done my own pole with average everyday americans in this country and I'm speaking for those who either haven't spoken for themselves, or haven't spoken loud enough for the politicians to hear them!

It's time for America to take care of americans, and if that means having to wall off this country in order to do so, my vote is to get it done as soon as possible!

Maybe then, we'll be able to take care of our homeless, our senior citizens,and our war veterans! And then maybe, just maybe, our Social Security and our Medicare and Medicaid programs will continue to function and take care of who they were meant to take care of in the first place!

I am 100% pro-American, and I truthfully speak for millions of americans when I say, Let's get those walls built and finally secure our nation!
