Note: please read with an open mind.  I am not a writer my English skills are horrible I will admit. This is my opinion and if it offends you please hit the big X on the top right corner and I go away. 


 Illegals...according to the dictionary, I have 15 yes, please come over and count them... Illegal means: unlawful, illicit, not authorized or sanctioned, as by rules. n.an alien who has entered the U.S illegally.


  I can go back through history and yadda yadda yadda but you already know. The Indians were the first Americans, We are all illegals , blah blah blah. You can point fingers and blame racism, greed and slavery but I'm not writing about that today. I will say my ancestors came to this country legally they were documented at the time and did not swim across the Atlantic.

 I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary, but if Hillary won  I would still feel the same as I do about Trump. I am going to have faith that we will move forward. I am actually ashamed the way this country has acted like little children crying because they didn't get the candy they asked for. Ive seen both sides:the haters, the lovers, winners and the losers. I have laughed, been offended and am angry that we have become like this.

 I recently saw where President Trump wants to deport illegals. The headline I read did not say if your a illegal Mexican run like hell seek sanctuary in a restaurant or church so you cant be deported. I do believe if you are here in the country illegally, no matter what country you came from you should be deported. They broke the law by entering this country illegally so who is to say other laws wont be broken. Don't get me wrong I am all for people wanting better lives, Ive eaten beans out of a can, wore dollar store shoes, and had to wait until income tax time to buy new underwear, Ive raised a child on my own with no child support but I'm not talking about me so I'm getting back to the subject. I shouldn't have to defend myself but I know the haters out there are reading this seeing what they want to see. Reminder to hit the big X on the top right corner.

 I think what needs to be done is deport the illegals but give them the chance to re enter legally, fill out the paper work, go through the proper channels and become a U.S citizen legally, pay your taxes, work and live the dream and supply them with the resources and education to do so. I don't like the idea of repeat offenders sneaking in illegally again after being deported doing jail time, that isn't going to solve the problem and the taxpayer will be paying for them anyway.  I don't have a problem using my tax money to educate or help people but  living in this country is a privilege not a handout for anyone.Some want to say come one come all, but your not the ones having to pay for it or you have the money to do so, and if you do please by all means I will drive illegals to your home so you can have them live with you and you can support them. Be careful what you wish for.

 I think everything comes down to education. By letting the poor uneducated enter our country we are importing poverty. Some will rise from the hell of their youth to better themselves, some will be tangled in the web of their environment  and fall to hell. if you ask every citizen why they came to to America the answer will be the same, "A better life". I believe everyone has that right I don't know what its like to live in another country I was born to privilege being born into this nation, I have faith that what my ancestors fought, sweat and died for was not in vain, If it wasn't for our military giving us the freedom to express ourselves and let us sleep at night in our warm beds I don't know what this country would become. with that I leave you with this: 

I love this quote from Utopia one of my favorite reads.


 For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.”
― Thomas More, Utopia
