Today at work, I was sitting down with a friend, and she told me about a friend of hers that thinks illegal immigrants should be legalized so that they will be taxed. How about...NO. I understand her point of view, to an extent. We have I don't even know how many illegal immigrants living here, working our jobs, making our money, and all the while, they're doing it tax free, and sometimes making more money than college educated American citizens. Take this for example. My boyfriends Mothers Boyfriend, makes a ridiculous amount of money at his job. I believe he works for a construction or warehouse company; I'm not entirely sure. But anyways, he's not even legal! And what's worse, he isn't legal because he got caught sneaking people across the boarder. On top of that, it's like America isn't good enough for him. He's always bitching about other people and how they don't know what it's like, how hard he works, everyone is lazy. If he hates it so much, then why doesn't he just leave? I can pretty much guarantee that he's better off here than he would be in Mexico. And as for the American government. We've been trying to reform Iraq for what, seven years now? Isn't it about time to call that a day? Why not go to Mexico, and try to reform their economy; make it better for their people so they don't feel the need to come to the US just to survive? I am in no way racist, or against immigration. It's the illegal part that I'm against. If they want to come over here, let them. But just do it legally. Take the tests, learn the language (FOR GOD SAKES LEARN THE FREAKIN LANGUAGE. THATS ANOTHER BLOG COMPLETELY), do what you need to do to become a citizen. You want some of it, you get all of it, laws included.
