Why is it OUR problem? You think just anybody should be able to run the border? Laws are there for a reason............illegals are called that for a reason. What I or your ancestors did was a long time ago...........if they were wrong then so............doesn't make it RIGHT for the runners though. Folks at least respected the country back in the day. The illegal heroes join gangs and **** on the US. Not saying one or the other is right but I don't like pissers.

Cuba should take care of their own. Why do baseball players always run here? Because Cuba aint. Simple stuff. Or others ride a '57 chevy across the ocean to get here.

My ancestors weren't immigrants...yours were though.

We found room for them...And we'll find room for these children. It's the right thing to do.

Folks at least respected the country "back then?" I got news for you..we imported a hell of a lot of European criminals...IRish, Italian, Jewish, Polish, Welsh, etc...organized crime in this country was established by European immigrants. They're the forefathers of today's crime as a matter of fact.

So please, let's have some fairness here.

I owe you an apology. Casper in Dallas made the post to which I was responding and I mistakenly thought he was referring to people of Hispanic descent. He did not, and I am sincerely sorry that I did not clarify my thoughts.

They come here to get away from thugs like the Castro brothers.

How many right things do we have to do? I know 90K or whatever number they toss out aint a pile...........they just dumped 135 in my area. I guess I'll have to pay for em. World is different now I guess you can't see that. You can't either see that you same folks scream to let others handle their problems yet now say oh the evil US needs to take care of all. Do you see the hypocrisy?

Its kind of like someone walking into a company and demanding a job. The company gave other people jobs so they should be able to give them one. Even if they're not officially on the payroll, they should pay them for something. Maybe they could empty wastebaskets or clean windows or go around helping other people do their jobs. Find out what other people are earning and negotiate to do it for less. Maybe they could take someone else's job.

Close the border. The insanity that we call a government has to stop.
