Different law enforcement for citizens vs. illegals.

Much of which encapsulates many of TF's other poll options as well.

It’s hard for me to choose one, because they all impact this country. However, their arrogance and delusional sense of entitlement, coupled with their total lack of gratitude, absolutely boils my blood.

Much too rapid addition of people who have little concept of American cultural values....being illegal makes it virtually impossible to assimilate here, causing deep cutural misunderstandings...(for example, the attitude of 'entitlement' by those here illegaly, runs almost COMPLETELY OPPOSITE to the sentiments of our culture, in which those of us doing things illegally don't "demand"...we keep "quiet") Cultural misunderstandings can be the most inflammatory of ALL controversies...and you can't learn a culture while 'hiding out'.

All of the above. However, I am most upset at the lack of enforcement of immigration laws and border security. If our government put her citizens and her sovereignty first, there would not be a need for debate and there would be none of the problems that you listed regarding the illegal alien invasion.

All the above. But the entitment mentality stands out as well as a total disregard and lack of respect for our rights and our laws.
