What are your thoughts on pro-illegal supporters portray the plight of illegal aliens as a human rights issue?

It's pure B.S. and Dem propaganda. These politically correct imbeciles want to enforce immigration law like they enforce travel security rules at the airport??? No profiling. We are looking for Islamic extremists while patting down 75-80 year old white grandmothers at airports. Prior to one of my flights, security gave the "wand" treatment to football Hall of Famer Emmit Smith (wearing a suit). After Dancing With The Stars, I guess they figured he was a likely suspect for terrorism, eh? Now, bumbling govt. employees are implementing/enforcing the same type of idiotic policies with regard to enforcement of immigration law?

The level of idiocy driven by political correctness is absolutely appalling, but that's government, right??? Misguided, inefficient, and always expensive.

Immigration law must be enforced. Current policy is a slap in the face of every immigrant who cared enough to honor this country's law and saw fit to obtain the privilege of U.S. citizenship status through the appropriate legal channels.

Most illegal immigrants have no intention whatsoever of becoming an American and assimilating to America's "Melting Pot." They want money to build a better life back in their home country. They are economic leeches, and little else (and that applies to the "good" illegals, those who are not hardened criminals stalking victims in the U.S.). The immigrants that were processed through Ellis Island in New York harbor were a totally different breed who sought opportunity and a new life as AMERICANS. They helped to build the American spirit which is, unfortunately, experiencing a steep decline. The enemy is within. America is in decline and we need to change course immediately to preserve the future.

Human rights? These people need to snap back into reality!

I don't think that opposing the law on the grounds that it doesn't cover 'Equal Protection Under the Law" is the same thing as being pro-illegal immigration.

There are a few people that advocate open borders, oppose requiring proof of citizenship to get government assistance, oppose requiring ID to vote, etc. Yes, these people are "pro-illegal immigration."

Then there are people who want to see the borders enforced, want to require proof of citizenship for government programs, or to hold a job (E-verify) and want people to need to prove that they are who they say they are before exercising the Privileg to vote. But we don't think that it's OKay to infringe upon the civil rights of legal immigrants in order to go after the illegal ones.

I'm in the latter category. Please don't confuse me with an open-border nut.
