The Issue of Arellano

Let's consider the issue of Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant-Mexican national who holed herself up in a Chicago church to avoid being deported, and therefore separated from a son she bore here in the states.

There's a simple understanding to this issue.

1. She came to this country illegally. (There's no aruging this point. It's the same as someone breaking into your own home.)
2. She had a child. (This is likely her attempt to gain a permanent foothold here, while illegally. And even if it wasn't, it should create no foothold for herself as giving your child a better life doesn't legally allow you to have one)
3. She defied American law and hid in a religious institution.

POINT: Bleeding-hearts are poor excuses for breaking the law.

The illegial immigrant lobby is banking on, firstly, one major point - people come here for a better life. That is true. But they're supposed to come here to be American, not make this a new Mexico.

Secondly, they say illegals are doing work Americans won't do. I say that Americans stopped doing that work because no one would hire them at a proper wage when others would do it for half. And to continue this madness on that point is further encouraging an elitist attitude of America, while simultaneously condemning it. That, in short, is little more than a two-sided attempt to denounce the current establishment in an attempt to raise an entirely new one.

In other words, they're attacking America. Period.

It's making someone out to be a bad guy, just so they're justified in attacking that someone.

And we're letting the bleeding hearts have their way with this country! It's sickening!

America was built on a strong can-do attitude. It was back-breaking work; work every American was willing to put in to get out. It was a common sense thing that working a good day's work for a good day's pay was how one slept at night and allowed people to look themselves in the mirror. It was the freedom to work hard for what you earned. It was following laws put in place for the greater good of all.

To break those laws, and then change those laws, just so the lawbreakers aren't lawbreaking anymore, isn't right, it's ... terrible. It's pathetic. It's telling your kid that it's okay to tell little white lies simply because you don't want to have to stop doing it yourself.

The dangers of the illegal immigrant discussion won't end anytime soon. It's going to take a very hard decision, and a very difficult action, to clean this up. Who will have the backbone to send them home? Then change the laws so that parental nationality determines child nationality? Being born here when humanity barely covered a collective .5 percent of the country was a great way to boost the economy and improve the quality of life for everyone.

Today, it's a boon of our society. We need to insulate what's good about our culture, instead of just leaving it open for chaotic change. Evolution will take it's own steps. To replace the culture entirely is paramount to suicide.

C'mon everyone, you bring the running shoes, I'll bring the scissors.
