Enough of this kid gloves approach to the border, drug smuggling and illegal immigrant problem.

Edit: I see you're in CA...hence your position of the subject.

Actually, I'm a patriot who holds the same positions as the founders of America...hence my position on the subject. The founders didn't grant the federal government any Constitutional powers over immigration and they did this for a reason. They welcomed all immigrants from all parts of the world with open arms.

So yes, I do think we should allow any number of immigrants, from any country to cross our borders to live and work here. I do not think we should grant immediate citizenship, but I do think all immigrants are born with the same rights as any American citizen has other than voting, and they should be given the same due process as any citizen born here.

The man they shot was leaving. They shot him in the back. Whether or not he had drugs is irrelevant. All drugs should be legal, and since the federal government has absolutely zero powers to regulate or legislate immigration, that part of government should be abolished.
