I find it hard NOT to be upset with our current immigration laws when the prisons are overflowing with African American men who have broken the law {more than 50% and we make up only 12% of the population} and the only answer the government has for African American law breakers is to build more jails. If you are throwing around amenities, give it first to our own citizens; go to the prisons, give ex-prisoners a chance for jobs, if you don’t want them back in the system.

Illegal immigrates can break the law and then vote on how the problem they helped to create should be handled. How and why do we have two sets of rules? It’s NOT, OK to break the law to get out of the ghettoes but it’s OK to break the law to get out of Mexico?

Please believe me that I have nothing against anyone who wants a better life but FAIR is fair.
