What makes us Americans, then, is that we have to care for each
other. We are an American family, but that being an American family
means we must take care of those people who are less fortunate in our
country before we spend and even borrow more money in order to take
care of the needs of people who have come here illegally. Let us just note the worst part of this whole debate is that
Republicans and others who are concerned about this are being labeled
like we are anti-immigrant. Well, in fact, we know that immigration is
an important part of our country. But this is the greatest lie of all because we believe that our
country has been prospered by having a legal immigration system. We, in
fact, take in a million legal immigrants a year. So anyone who is
thinking about this should think about it. That represents more legal
immigration into our country than all the other countries of the world
combined, allowing people to immigrate into their country, all the
other countries of the world. Yet, because we don't want to destroy this system, we don't want it
to go out of control, we are being labeled as anti-immigrant, even
though we sing praises for those people who have come here legally. In fact, the people who are the most anti-immigrant are the ones who
mix the title ``illegal'' and ``legal'' together. And what we have got
now is the worst possible outcome in that we have limited resources
being drained away from our own people of every race, religion, and
ethnic group, and jobs that are being bid down by illegals; and
everyone, including legal immigrants, are being hurt. But what we have now is a recognition that we cannot even enforce the
law. We have sanctuary cities in which criminals are being kept from
being arrested by Federal agents. What is that all about? Who do we care for? Now we are saying our police can't even protect our families; and
that if there is some criminal gang from another country that comes
here, that we are going to have a sanctuary State or a sanctuary city
for these people. This is absolutely ridiculous. It is a horror story, and it is up to
us to alert the American people that we are losing our country.
