"Illegal" immigrants are the cause of many of America's problems and if are not acclimating or trying to go through the lawful process of becoming a citizen, should be rounded up and shipped out.

An immigrant going through the lawful process of becoming an American citizen while acclimating to freedom as we know it should be given every opportunity to do so. Those that do this should be welcomed and valued.

Determining which is which is not an easy task, nor is protecting the greatest nation on earth, freedom and it's people.

Freedom didn't come easy, in fact, it was very difficult. IMO difficult decisions in regards to "illegal" immigration must be made. Not for one second do I claim to have the answer but I'm pretty confident in saying how we deal with "illegal" immigrants at the moment is not working. Figure out what works best and do that, whatever that may be.

Whew, what a news day!! Just heard the Lt Governor of Texas address the issue of illegal immigration as it pertains to the state of Texas ONLY for 2016. It seems that nearly a quarter of a million (mostly illegal) immigrants there in the Lone Star State committed just north of 656 thousand crimes, again these are 2016 statistics only, which crimes include everything from murder, to all manner of drug related charges, to child molestation.

But what is all that as compared to a stupid plaque on the base of Lady Liberty, right?
