Stupid Illegals

What are these people thinking? 200,000 people marching in downtown LA to protest the pending legislation to make being in this country illegally a felony. They must all be on drugs or something. Can't they see we're not against LEGAL immigration? I fully support anyone who comes to this country legally. What we are against is illegal immigration. And no one seems to get the distinction. Illegal immigrants violate the law to get here, pose potential terror risks since they haven't been properly screened, and most importantly, they cheapen the status process that all the legal immigrants went through to come to this country. This country is a country of immigrants, but those immigrants entered the country through legal means rather than overstaying a tourist visa, hopping a border fence or paying off a smuggler. I would think that any immigrant who came here legally would fully support attempts to curb illegal immigration, but that does not seem to be the case. Sad story.

Costa mesa is passing an ordinace to allow it's police to check the immigration status of people they pick up for other felonies. People are protesting that as well and business is down 20% in the city since that was announced even though it hasn't passed yet. Latinos are scared that they'll be stopped while driving through the city and not happen to have the right paperwork with them. Is everyone a criminal or do they just not understand the law? If the cop just happens to pull you over, he won't check your immigration status. Now if it's a felony stop, he'll do a background check on you and find out your immigration status. Legal residents have nothing to worry about, come back. Illegals also have nothing to worry about here unless they are planning on commiting a felony in which case we don't want them anyway.
