But this is the problem...why should it matter if their family is close by? Illegal immigration is killing us and will become much worse if nothing is done. Decisions about what's best about our country can NOT be made based on heart strings.

Does it suck that some folks may be sent back? Sure. Does that mean they can't go through a corrected process to get here? No. Does that mean they can't be family anymore or that you can't visit? No.

There are millions of people that don't live near family. That doesn't mean they have to break the law and put a drain on other folks. How is that fair to me and MY family? I'm paying darn near 40% in taxes right now. I'm working almost half of the year for other people!

That's not right. That's disgusting. Other people have NO right to take money from me and my family just because they want to come across the border. And our government is letting them, because they want more votes.
