I believe that all men are created equal sure, but you need to know alot of countries don't believe in that and they wouldn't piss on our bill of rights if it were on fire. I believe America is a special country and we need to protect it and not let any Tom, Dick and Harry into our country.
I've understood from the start that not every country sees eye to eye with us. But how can you say that you believe all men are created equal, yet you don't have a problem with an immigration system that favors Canadians over Mexicans? If I am equal to a foreigner, why do I believe I can keep them out when my family was allowed in? Actions speak louder than words. My 4th great grandparents spent an afternoon on Ellis Island and never had to learn English. Now, in order to immigrate legally, you have to learn English (which is funny because the US has no official language, just a majority language) and pass a US history test. It's a bogus system that has strayed from the principles that made our nation great.
I don't have a problem with limiting immigration, but it should be done fairly. We shouldn't set quotas and allow more Asians than Hispanics. That's racist.
I don't believe illegal immigrants are doing the right thing, but if you were on the other side of the border and couldn't make enough for your family, would you hold the same opinions on immigration? 99% of us are immigrants to this nation, why do we have the right to deny someone something that was given to our ancestors?
