If these 11 million illegal immigrants are granted legal status. We are:
Encouraging the wanton disregard for our borders, laws, and sovereignty. That you can do what you want, when you want, without penalty. We are a nation of laws and discipline, for us to avoid that is to degrade our culture and way of life.
If they are legalized it will come at a great cost financially. This will come at a time when federal employees are getting furrowed and middle class LEGAL citizens are asked to do more with less. This will instantly add millions to education, welfare, unemployment, social security, medicare and other social systems that are at their breaking point.
Ultimately what are we teaching our children? That it is okay to break the law and you will be rewarded if you are not caught?
