"Some Things GRIND MY CORN!"

It's just very difficult to understand some folks. Let me see if I can summarize it with a list of things that just "grind my corn."

Now I posted this on another thread but decided to post it here on a new thread as well!!!! I'm mad!

1. There is a law that states how one is to come to America.
2. To do otherwise, you become an "illegal alien" because of your own choice and your own actions.
3. As an illegal alien, you have committed a crime.
4. Oh, but it's such a simple, harmless crime! Oh yea?
5. On the way over the border you injure yourself coming over the fence.
6. If you can get to a hospital your medical treatment has to be taken care of by us, free of charge....no cost to you!
7. Just by chance you didn't have the money to get here on your own, a drug pusher said he'd get you here if you would carry his drugs for him.
8. Now we have more drugs in our country.
9. So...you get you a job. Immediately you have caused an employer to break the law by his hiring you. (That's okay though. We're suppose to be understanding and considerate of your needs.)
10. After a week you get a pay check...(oh, yes I'm aware it's smaller than a citizen's check. But, if you had come here legally you could have applied as a citizen and drawn the same amount as any other citizen.)
11. Next you purchase a money order and send the money that you made out of the country.
12. In a few days your wife and kids have enough money to come to America. All are illegal.
13. Your kids enroll in our schools and we have to pay for their education.
14. The kids get sick and we have to pay for their medical care.
15. A democrat (or Acorn worker) approaches you and gets you to sign up to go and vote in the next election. (Suddenly democrats are being voted into office by citizens of Mexico) How'd that happen? (You do not have to have a photo ID to vote, so you can vote for someone that's been dead for years!) DON'T LAUGH.....IT HAPPENS EVERY ELECTION!
16. You eventually buy a cheap second hand car... and guess what, you don't buy any insurance for it. Or at least if you do, as soon as you get it on the road you drop the insurance.
17. The following week you have an accident and do great damage to someone else's car and guess what... no insurance. (That then makes all of our insurance go up! But you don't care, you're just a poor disadvantaged foreigner who chose to break the law and come to good Old America!)
18. Oh did I forget to mention, the police officer that worked the accident could not ask you for your papers, or proof that you were legal. (Now why is that the case?)
19. On a Friday night you share your beer and alcohol with the other 20 people living in the house where you stay. After awhile you run out of beer and when you get to the store to get more beer you decide to just take the beer and run. A police office is called and in the process of trying to arrest you, you pull out a knife or gun and in the end the officer looses his life. (Oh but your "just" a poor illegal alien who has had it so bad and deserves a chance in America).
20. Oh yes, I'm aware there are full fledged citizens of America who have done the same thing. But that does not justify an illegal coming across the border...BREAKING THE LAW... and taking the life of an American citizen.
21. Check the jails and see how many illegals there are in the jails. (Houston, Tx has just had a big problem of overcrowding in the jails.)
22. Oh yes, did I mention that recently a citizen, a land owner, a man of the community in Arizona was simply walking on his ranch when he was killed by an illegal alien. (How do I know he was illegal? Well they traced his trail back to Mexico) But, let's overlook that and take up for the illegal. He deserved a chance didn't he?
23. And then I hear someone say, "Oh, but they are not all like that!" And you're right. But, the chambers in the pistol are all empty except one. You still want to put it to your head and pull the trigger and take the chance?
24. But, we've got to be a Christian. We've got to be charitable and help the hurting people in Mexico. ...... What about all the hurting people in every other Third World Country? Don't they deserve the same chance? Let's be saviors of the whole world. We can't pay our own bills now for trying to take care of all the world. (If we've got the means to do it okay! But, if not, STOP THE SPENDING!)
25. Oh and did I mention all the mealy mouthed politicians in Washington that have talked about solving the problem that is destroying America and yet done nothing...for years!
26. Oh, yea, let's just sit back and watch the illegals destroy all that we have.
27. NOW.. guess what! A governor has stepped forward and passed a law that will start to solve the problem.
28. And what do we hear. Oh we can't do this! Some over anxious police officer might just pick someone out of the crowd and ask him for his papers. And that would be terrible! (None of the things listed above I guess are terrible... Just a poor, disadvantaged "law breaking illegal alien" being asked for his papers is terrible!)
29. WAKE UP AMERICA. We've got our heads in the sand while the politicians are making good money, setting up the best, classic retirement systems in the world, with medical coverage as long as they live, while they let the illegals come!!! (Oh, and by the way, it ain't the medical coverage that we've just had crammed down our throats.) Because we've got to take care of 15 to 20 million illegals. (Ask Obama how many there are. He has changed the number with every speech that he has given.)
30. The way I look at it, you just can't beat the medical coverage for the illegals and the politicians. It's the best! Hey, did you know they both get it free!! Now ain't that a good deal. In the case of the illegal, I guess I'd swim the river for something like that. And, for the politician, why yeah, why not lie and sell out those who elected you for good health care coverage and a retirement fit for Kings.
31. Oh, I'm sorry if I haven't been as compassionate as I should for the criminals, (yes, they're criminals...they broke the law) that are walking the streets of our cities smiling as all the liberals take up for them.
32. If I've got this figured out, if I'm not totally wrong, we've got some STUPID legal citizens destroying all that we have worked for for years as they take up for more and more ILLEGAL AILENS THAT ARE BREAKING OUR LAWS.
33. I guess it's time for me to get off my soap box. There may be a liberal that wants to tell us "good old americans" how bad we are!
34. Have at it. We're listening! That's more than many of you are doing.

BT, I have a WAY over-simplified solution to illegal immigration.

For those who have never been involved with LEGAL immigration, let me tell you, it's VERY difficult. We have a lady in our church who is attempting to immigrate from Mexico. She comes from affluence, her daughter is a prominent lawyer, and they're putting her through hell. A friend of mine has attempted to immigrate from Canada and finally gave up. It's just too difficult.

I think a lot of this could be resolved by making it more reasonable to immigrate. With our current setup, it's much easier to come in illegally. Those who attempt to do it the right way, get run through a ringer that's very unreasonable.

Part two of my solution is to give the death penalty to anyone here illegally. (not really)

The bolded portion is why I think it's so important that something "must" be done about the illegals. It's just not fair for those who try to do it right!

I posted this same thing on .... "Az ...... Birth certificate in 2010", thread and caught some flak for my thoughts. So, I think I have come up with a solution for the problem. For all the liberals that feel so sorry for the "illegal aliens" who have broken the law to get here.... (criminals I believe is the term they have for the law breakers) let's let all the criminals go live with all the liberals!

I'm actually one that doesn't get too worked up over it. I feel like the more people come into my city illegally, the larger my mission field. But my heart breaks for those who are forced to walk on hot coals, eat glass, and swim with sharks in order to be legal.

But I believe my state is now issuing driver's license to illegals!

How do they justify that? I guess so that they can then sign them up with ACORN and they can vote. Think about it.... Mexican, Canadian, Guatamalean (sp) citizens electing our politicians! Oh well, I guess we need their help! We do a pitiful job electing them ourselves.

I have personally tried to refine my life down to the essentials....love my family, love my church, and give my life to sharing the gospel through love and relationship with those who Christ died for. The other stuff? I just don't care that much any more.

I try not to listen to Rush or Sean, or the others anymore. They just get me worked up about things that have no eternal value. Instead, I spend all my time arguing with Apostolics about how many steps they're going to take to get saved!

That "three stepper stuff" kinda sounds like a dance! I was noticing earlier how many posts there have been to the question of the cross saving us! He doesn't need me, you nor anybody else to help Him save us. ....... “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16, KJV.

What an awesome truth. Doesn't need propping up! It'll stand on it's own!
