    The US won the territory of what emcompasses the American southwest back in 1848. Anyone who wanted to be mexican and stay in mexico have had plenty of time to go there or stay here in this country. But like it or not, now we have something called "borders". So the immigration laws that previous generations had to follow to earn the privilege of becoming a citizen of this great country should now just be scrapped for a vocal minority? Some legal immigrants like the Irish and some Europeans had to agree to go fight the civil war right off the boat as a condition of citizenship. And they did! What's that say to all the legal immigrants who also went through such hassle just to come here? Why? Because they respected the laws of this nation and it was worth it just for the priviledge to be here! So these people should just get a pass to go to the front of the line? I don't think so. Some Americans seem either oblivious or simply do not care about the rule of law that holds this country together. I think next week we should all just forget about licensing big business or prosecuting income tax fraud or prosecuting hit and runs, I also think we should stop investigating murder and stop making it a crime at all as well because I don't feel like following the law.or, or , or ,or..... whatever. The building blocks of this one-of-a-kind, unique country that so many have fought and died for are our laws. Laws are the glue that hold this melting pot made up of every country on earth together. When a part of the machine breaks down, the machine breaks down. If we decide to abandon all our immigration laws and suddenly announce "anyone who can get here, can come on down", the insanity of such an action would create complete and utter chaos. At that point we cease to be a country and become merely a piece of land for people to fight over. And I don't know about you, but I for one am sick to death of all the people via the population explosion that we have now. All our national forests and desert lands, and wide open spaces aren't so wide open anymore. Because they're all being encroached upon or bladed and graded simply because we have no place left to go. And the more people there are the more greed there is. Heck, we have too many millions of LEGAL immigrants coming in each year if you ask me. There are too many people period causing this country great problems as it is. Oh and those gardeners and simple folks who rake our lawns? Well they walked right in and right along side the very same people who have made Phoenix the 2nd biggest kidnapping capital of the world. Why? Because no one stopped them to check them out and verify who they are. The recent Times Square bomber was tied to an entire ring of illegals who overstayed their visas. So you see? It's not just mexicans, it's everyone. ALL illegal aliens
