What I don't get is why are they marching with foreign flags demanding to stay here?

Also why are they using the same old story we are a nation of immigrants so in return we should legalize illegal immigration.

Every nation on earth is a nation of immigrants.

There is no melting pot if the majority is from one side of the border

Once legalized they can begin to sponsor many relatives, aging grandparents, parents, and the whole family chain migration can benefit with access to all the entitlement programs.

Over a third of the US population now lives on entitlements, there is no job growth but these people want in on the easy life of welfare handouts. They are not coming for jobs. They are coming because welfare makes jobs unnecessary.

That is why we are no longer a melting pot. When you have mostly one ethnic group coming here by the millions illegally then diversity and the melting pot disappears. They colonize rather than assimilate.

What burns my behind is when we are called racists and haters for objecting to the above and yet if Mexico were to be invaded illegally by millions of Chinese for example and thereby changing their native culture and language, those calliing us racists for objecting to having our demographics changed via illegal immigration would be screaming to high heavens. Nothing worse than hypocrites in my book. I don't object to natural change but there is nothing natural about illegal immigration.

Since when are any country's citizens racists and haters for wanting to retain their natural identity, culture and language and not lose it through illegal immigraton?

That’s it in a nutshell. We have NO jobs. Yet, they continue to come, because they know once they give birth on U.S. soil, they’re home free – WIC, welfare, subsidized housing, Medicaid, etc. And, eventually, they can bring the entire crew to suck on the government teat. We have got to be the dumbest country on earth. A former poster had it right. We aren’t Uncle Sam, we’re Uncle Sucker.

They have no defense for their support of illegal aliens. So, the only thing they can do is try to demonize opponents. I have yet to hear even one offer a cogent justification for their stance. They can’t.

Let them call us racists and haters. If we don’t soon resolve this issue, they will see for themselves exactly what they supported, and it won’t be pretty.

Too right. You hit the nail on the head (as usual).
