Immigration

I came to this country as a refugee, an immigrant. I came with papers, all legal. So maybe it is not fair that I criticize the people who want to immigrate to this country, but doing it legally and having a plan for the future or doing it illegally without any real plan is a big difference. Every day the news programs show the conditions at the southern border and the conditions of these illegals' in the cities.

I can't imagine what these people think they will achieve here. Do they have any educations? Probably not. Do they have any trade? Probably not. Do thet have a real picture of the conditions here? Probably not. So, what is their plan? To live on public assistance? Nobody is going to hire them if they don't know anything and don't speak the language.

New York City has areas where illegals who came to this country a while back gather and offer their services as day laborers. There is a large number of these people, they don't need an influx of the newcomers. It is hard enough to make a living by standing on streetcorners and wait for an offer for a day job. They can not regular jobs because they just don't have papers. Most of their families are back in their old countries and money is being sent home to help them out.

Now the other problem and what nobody is talking about, at least not in the open is that the majority of the illegals trying to get in here through the South are young, healthy looking men. How come these young and strong men can not make living in their home country or as a matter of fact in any other neighboring country? What is the charm of the US? Dollar bills are not hanging from the trees, free money is not easy to come by, jobs are not waiting on every corner.

Do the authorities know who are terrorists and wo are not? With the humongous numbers they let through, terrorists are slipping in easily. And that is very scary. And the government is not doing anything to control this flow of humanity, Congress does nothing just argue and play politics. When do they plan to act, when it is too late? This country, the government, Congress are great on hindsight. The could have and should have and never will.. is what is heard most often.

This is a hell of a way to live is all I can say.
