The Problem with Illegal Immigrants

Or Why We Call Them Illegal in the First Place

An interesting story out of Baltimore, where federal immigration agents were approached by "day laborers" for work.  

Now this really amuses Satan.  Twenty-four men were arrested by these federal authorities.  All 24 men were here illegally.  Therefore they already are criminals and should be treated as such.  But, their criminality doesn't stop there.  Six of the arrested have criminal records in the U.S., 8 have been caught before by federal agents and failed to show up for deportation, and one man had been stopped at the border four different times.

Satan would like to point out to the left, that if these people are willing to break American law when they illegally cross they border, they will more than likely commit other crimes.  If you want to argue that most illegal immigrants are law abiding (which by definition they can't be), then get back to Satan after reading this article.

So far, this is bad enough.  We allow criminals free access to our nation and they continue to commit crime once they are here.  But it gets worse.  Those on the left, sympathize with these criminals.  This is the reaction from some leftist group in Baltimore:

 CASA officials invited other immigrant advocates and faith leaders to protest the arrests, which they say unfairly targeted Hispanics, and call for reforms to the country's immigration system. "We're making it more difficult for people to be good," said the Rev. Robert Wojtek, pastor of neighboring St. Michael and St. Patrick Roman Catholic parishes. "What sin against God have these people done?"

What sin have they, Padre?  Let Satan think for a second.  Hmmmm.  First, they entered the United States illegally.  So their first act in entering the U.S. is a violation of Federal law.  Then, dear Padre, they commit crimes while they are here.  And if you ask Satan, the greatest sin of all, is that they take jobs from poor Americans, they depress wages for poor Americans, they make the poorest neighborhoods even less safe (if this confuses those on the left, once again, criminals tend to continue their behavior), and they use public services without paying taxes in return.  Finally, Satan's jaw dropped with this quote from Baltimore's mayor:

 A spokeswoman for Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon told the Associated Press that the arrests highlighted the need for a designated day-laborer center in the city.

No Mayor Sheila Dixon, it highlights the need to defend America's border, it highlights the need to build a fence, and it highlights the need to find these people and deport them back to the third world cesspool from which they came.  Unfortunately, Satan is beginning to think that the left despises America so much, they'd like us to become just like a third world cesspool to soothe their self-hatred.

Michelle Malkin has an even more bitter take on immigration issues.
