Incensed is the only emotion I can muster when I see 500,000 illegal immigrants demonstrating in Los Angeles demanding their rights with no restrictions on their status. Students (educated with our tax dollars) are motivated to march, declaring this to be their country: Mexico. These people are not “undocumented immigrants.” They are illegal.
Yes, we need immigration to support our diversity and economy, but it must be monitored and legal. No other nation in the world would tolerate a situation such as this. This once proud, independent nation has been allowed to become a third- world country without strong leadership.
You, your predecessors and your peers are responsible for this defiance of our laws, borders and leading our nation into an untenable situation. Each and every representative has failed his or her constituency by not addressing this overwhelming, rampant threat to the soul, spirit and economy of the United States of America.
Put aside your petty, partisan antics and get to work resolving the illegal immigration problem. Our schools, hospitals and infrastructures are at meltdown. We could liken your lack of action and silence to fiddling while Rome burns. You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. We are fed up with status quo.

I for one feel that the illegal population are slapping the faces of those that came and went through the proper process of legal immigration. I take this personal as a grandson of a legal immigrant. I do understand why people want to take part in the American Dream, all I ask is to do it legally. I also am getting tried of the people, illegal and legal immigrants saying that the illegals are not criminals. If you break a law you are a criminal. It does not change because your an immigrant or not.
