Reply #23: Can you imagine?

A politician that wants to protect Americans from people that come here illegally, with a significant portion of those people involved in various levels of crime? People that come here illegally and sap the resources of those communities in which they settle? Many of the border states have significant budgetary issues to do illegal immigration.

I hate to say it, but this guy might be doing exactly what our politicians should be doing. Our politicians are supposed to work for America, not those that sneak in. I do not like being on the side of the Repugs on this, but I grew up in a border town and can still remember strange people running through the yard at all hours of the day and night. For those that cannot see the other side of this, you probably have not had the experience of not being able to be out in the neighborhood, or even the yard, by yourselves as a child because you never knew who was going to be passing through.

This is obviously an issue I have a hard time with being liberal-minded, yet seeing the reality of the situation.
