IMMIGRANT? I DON'T THINK SO

I don’t mean to seem callous, but why does everyone call those folk who cross the border immigrants? I know that they cross the border to better their lives and the lives of their families, but they are not immigrants. They are interlopers. They take the jobs that Americans can take and they deplete the economy through their theft and remaining off of the tax roll.

To give them the moniker of “Immigrant” allots them the status of those who came to America the old-fashioned way. The sojourners of old left home, hearth and land and applied for citizenship in a far away land with a promise to hold a job and live with a party who knew that they were coming and expected their arrival. They didn’t skirt the law in order to gain citizenship, but rather they embraced it. Those that cross our border illegally have scorn for our laws. They have no desire to fulfill the law as it is and they offer nothing to our society except depletion. They use up our resources such as welfare funds and medical care and offer no way to repay it.

Many hospitals in our border states have been forced to close their doors because they are caused to perform medical services on countless individuals who have no means or desire of paying for them.
