America Should Guard Our Borders More Carefully
Some people say that we should open our borders to everyone. Others say we should put up a 30 ft. Wall between the USA and Mexico. What do you think?

Yes we should have stronger border control. First of all, we have enough people bleeding our system dry, who are citizens and simply are too lazy to support themselves. When a family of illegals comes in, we have to support them. They actually get better benefits than most Americans who are legitimately in need. My 78 year old mother's social security is less than the check they get and she has been a citizen who has lived here and paid taxes her whole life. Also, there is health care to think of. When someone illegally in this country is ill, who foots the bill? Most don't bother to learn our language. Even the ones who become legal American citizens (I'm speaking of Mexicans here...not other nationalities) do not care to learn English. They don't even have to. We have everything all printed up in Spanish for them. Don't get me wrong, if we did this for every nationality, I would not be this angry about it, but we simply do not. I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. I went through several fast food drive-thru's. Not one hispanic person got my order right....NOT ONE. I had to go back around, explain it again. Once, all I had ordered was a cup of coffee. I even ordered it black and planned to buy half and half across the street at the mini-mart so they could not mess it up. I got an iced coffee. I told her I ordered coffee. "Si, coffee". I told her I wanted regular coffee. Again, she pointed and said, "Si, coffee". Finally, I lost my temper and yelled HOT coffee. I got my coffee after nearly suffering a stroke from the frustration. If you want to live here, come here legally, learn the language and become a productive member of society that does not live off of the welfare system and suck every cent out of financial help there is available. Have some pride. Use help to get on your feet, then give back to the society you want to be a part of.

Yes, illegals are not good for the economic and social stature of our nation.

Did the "Great Wall of China" prevent the Huns from invading China?

In his "open letter to the US", Osama Bin Laden asked people to think why he didn't bomb Sweden or Canada. It would have been far easier to do and cause more damage, yet neither country has been the victim of islamic terrorism.

If the US weren't violating other countries' borders, it wouldn't need to protect its own.

 This is not necessarily true, the u.s.a is one of the richest in the world and people want their "share" of it.
