Invasion of America

[Ibby]

And yet all these people want to get IN to America... You don't hear about people freezing to death in airplane wheel wells trying to escape the US, you don't hear about the oppressive totalitarian government, you don't hear any of that. America isn't perfect, but even if half the immigrants who come across the border were 'bad guys' the US would still be in the top five places to live, ever. But only a fraction of illegal immigrants are criminals (besides the crossing-the-border crime, that is) - the same fraction that legal immigrants and American citizens are criminals, I have no doubt.

America is the land of opportunity yes? For criminals and nice people. You just let anybody in unchecked. Now you have about 12 million leeches you are not sure about. Your corrupt government wants to make them legal so they can keep making money off of their cheap labor.
America is a place to suck money from. That is why you attract illegals you are not willing to turn away.
You import poor people to do work you don't want to pay your own people to do. Now you are faced with those illegals making demands on you.
You are being eaten alive and refuse to do anything about it.
