That's what a military is supposed to be for, protecting your own borders, not off camping out in 70 thousand other countries flung around the world. No more illegal immigrants, only legal ones and dead ones.

Additionally, all of these illegal immigrants that come to this country do not pay taxes, yet they are the first ones in line to tax the welfare system, which should also be a focal point of government reform.
I have no problems with anyone who wants to immigrate to this country legally to better their family. If they go through all of the proper channels and become a citizen, learn to read and write English, and contribute to the tax base of this country, then they become an asset to our economy.
I think one of the biggest things that ticks me off is the fact that so many illegal immigrants refuse to learn Englsih, yet we cater to them. Go look at a DMV manual, signs at the local Wal-Mart, or even welfare forms. Most of them are in two languages. Do you think that if you were and illegal immigrant in another country that they would cater to you and put up all the signs and forms in English? I highly doubt it.
