Wow. Solving the worlds problems, right here at SECtalk.


SO...

It serves no purpose whatsoever for any american, south american, mexican, peruvian, etc. for the US to join the third world. I firmly believe that it is our responsibility who are more fortunate than others to provide and help others. However, if we are all broke and poor, who benefits? Will the hippies then be satisfied, because we are all then equal? Quote whichever statistics you may, but I will not be convinced that illegal immigration is helping our economy. It is truly sad that some of these countries are hurting so bad, and are so poor that their people are crossing borders illegally. Helping these countries to improve is the best way to curtail illegal immigration, improve the lives of the people, and save our own economy. Many church and religious groups are already working very hard to accomplish this feat. Government handouts to illegals is feeding a man a fish. I wholeheartedly agree with the seperation of church and state, which is amusing to me considering that the only time liberals want to mention religion is when they want to appeal to Christian charity to fund more governmental assistance. I believe that churches, pure religion, is to help the poor and needy. The government, on the other hand, is not a charitable orginization, and does not exist to provide food and healthcare to its people. More churches need to step up to assist the needy throughout the world, and help improve the lives of people in south and central america. The Government needs to step up and enforce the laws of the land, laws that representatives of the people have enacted. Breaking the law is breaking the law. I do not care what color you are, what belief system you have, or whether you agree with the law or not. This includes illegal immigrants.
