We don't need a wall...we need a President and a Congress that will enforce the laws we already have on the books.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." ~Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Big Business loves cheap labor.  Politicians love Big Business.

If Big Business can't send our jobs to China, India & Indonesia, they want the cheap labor to come here to them.  It is all about money they don't want to pay to American Citizens who expect more and demand benefits and job security ( How dare we !! )

Let me make a few things clear from the outset. I am not opposed to immigration. It is what built our country in the first place. I am opposed to being the recipient of an uncontrolled stampede of cheap workers who do not respect our country or our laws and have only money on their minds.

When a job opening appears, and where an American Citizen applies and is otherwise qualified, labor law should require that job first be offered to the American. There must be no distinction between the wages or benefits and these shall not be artificially lowered to discourage an American from applying.

People with necessary skills, including farm workers, should be forced to use the legal process to come here to seek work. Anyone who hires an immigrant should be required to determine, in advance, if that person is in possession of a valid visa permitting him/her access to American soil for purposes of employment.  Failure to do so should result in fines for the first offense and jail time for subsequent offense.

All immigrants must register their place of employment, and residence and register any drivers licenses or other licenses they obtain on US Soil. If unemployed for more than three months they should surrender their visa and return home.

All such workers must pay into Social Security and Medicaid in order to be eligible for ANY benefits.

A Constitutional Amendment, if required, should be passed that stipulates citizenship is not guaranteed to persons born on American soil if both parents are here illegally.

We need a proclamation that the United States is not responsible for the health, wealth or wellbeing of any person who enters our country illegally.

Immigration must stop being a tool used to destroy American jobs at the financial benefit of Big Business.

A more serious problem results because the rich also like to buy people —personal servants who work in their homes and grounds as maids, cooks, nannies, painters, and gardeners. Nowadays, this largely means Mexican and Central American immigrants—and illegal ones at that. Of course, U.S. agricultural and manufacturing businesses want to hire illegal immigrants, too. However, the really animated core of the political lobby that supports illegal immigration—its mass base, so to speak—is composed of rich homeowners, who desperately want someone to do their dirty work and to do it cheaply
