Immigration protests

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants, require churches to check the legal status of people they help, and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. "America is a nation of immigrants, and we're also a nation of laws," Bush said in his weekly radio address, discussing an issue that had driven a wedge into his own party. There are two different sides on this issue. And I would like to say I'm on the side that makes it illegal for immagrants to come over to the US illegaly. These people are enrolling in our public school systems, obtaining food stamps, welfare, and any other free service they can get at the expense of other hard working Americans. Now I'm not saying that the immagrants don't work hard don't get me wrong. I know they do. Yes they have helped build the physical structures of this country and it would great if they could continue to help out in the legal way. Now as to build more walls on the border would be wasting money. For example, people from the other side of the border have continually found ways around border security. If the walls are built it may slow immigration down unitl the way around, over, under etc. is found and then we as Americans have wasted money in the building of the walls and supporting more illegal immagrants. These people are humans and deserve to be treated as such, but if you break the law you deserve the punishment of the law. Please post your comments on this topic.
