Recently, my son who is a freshman in high school, was accused of being a racist. The accuser was....his teacher. The discussion in class that day revolved around illegal immigration. At some point my son made the statement, "all the illegal immigrants crossing our southern border are moochers". His teacher immediately called him a racist in front of his classmates. Was I upset, you bet; did I want to confront the man..uh YEA!! but then a superior of mine made me realize that my direct involvement would appear that I was the "hammer" behind my son's statement. So I will probably say nothing except to tell him to quit accusing my son of being racist.
On to the real issue. Illegal immigrants who cross our borders are just that, "ILLEGAL immigrants". Certainly, many of those who cross contribute to the work force in a big way. I have seen Mexican nationals working like dogs and doing an excellent job at what they do. But crossing our borders without going through the proper channels is wrong. I have no problem whatsoever with people from other countries entering the U.S. as long as they beocme U.S. citizens. But alas, when we have a congress that encourages illegal entrance, well, that problem speakes for itself.
Anyone who uses our health system and other government services free of charge is a moocher. Therefore, it is not only some of the illegal immigrants who are mooching but a vast majority of our own citizens.
You want to live in our country, great. Do it legally and get a job.
