Reply #12: Only if they do it legally...

I look at illegal aliens as people who do not respect our laws. It is illegal, and they know it is illegal, to enter this country without going through the proper process. If they cant respect that, how am I supposed to believe they would respect any other law in this country?

I am all for legal immigration. But if we allow people to just jump across the border whenever they want, we might as well not have a country anymore.

And my great grandparents came here legally. They went through Ellis Island. They were tested for disease. They didn't go to Mexico and jump the border and then protest in the streets by waving their country's flag.
