Today is the National Day of Protest in support of new immigration laws. They are expecting 12+ million people to protest in 70+ cities across the country -- including Lexington. Personally I think that there should be stricter rules on immigration and even stricter rules on deportation from the US if one is here illegally.



There are many arguments that people make that don’t really have a strong foundation IMO. For instance, the argument that we are a country of immigrants. Yes, this is true and congrats on making that assessment, but we too are a country of LEGAL immigrants!! If you want to come to the US to have a better life, then do so legally by going through the citizenship process. Or that the immigrants take the jobs that Americans don’t want when in actuality, they are taking the jobs away from Americans by accepting rock bottom wages. I could probably go on and on about how the statements of the ILLEGAL aliens are stupid. Could be just me though.



And one thing is, there is so much coverage of this “Day of Protest”, that it might help build support from Americans because they see others supporting it when in actuality, 90+% of those protesting are the ones that would benefit from change, ie, the ones that shouldn’t be here!! Seems like the perfect chance to get millions of them out!!



ps...hope to have some fun with this thread!

I agree with you 1000%....My grandfather entered this country with his mother and sister in search for a better life ( he escaped nazi controlled Hungary). Altho he was never a citizen of the US he did register each year until his death. He loved this country and all of his sons enlisted in the service..

There is nothing wrong with entering this country legally. There are rules and regulations - why is it so hard for this generation of adults to follow laws that are already in place.??
