It just slays me

You know, it just slays me, how overboard our country and our world have become.

This Mexican girl, what's her name, who's hold up in a church in Chicago. She says she did nothing wrong. Yet she admits she used a false social security number. Isn't that against the law? And isn't something against the law considered wrong? Isn't that WHY it's a law?

Lets say she was a citizen.....just dreaming of course, but for the sake of argument...... lets say she's a citizen and pulls a gun on someone. It's against the law to brandish a weapon.....right?

Lets say she shot someone with that gun......again, against the law.......right? She hides....(as IN a church)........uses fake ID to keep from getting caught......she's running from justice......right?

HOW can she say she did nothing wrong?????

Ok, lets compare that to her situation. She showed up at the border crossing. That's brandishing herself. She jumped over the border. That's shooting the gun. She uses fake ID.......that's trying to conceal her crime. She hides in a church.....that's running from justice. Again I ask, how can she say she did nothing wrong?

And isn't that church which is harboring her also violating the law by harboring a fugitive? Aren't churches just as responsible for obeying the law as any one individual is? (Don't EVEN get me started on Corporate lawbreakers)

The girl says she wants to stay here for 2 reasons. One is her kid. Well personally I don't believe in anchor babies, never have, never will. If you broke the law to get here, dropping a newborn on American soil doesn't entitle you to any special privileges. Break any FURTHER laws like murder, theft, etc, and you're to be punished for those, as well as coming here illegally. And didn't she break further laws with her false ID? When you steal car, you get charged with it. Use that car to run over someone, you get charged with that as well not just theft. Get into a high speed pursuit and you're committing a host of crimes as well.......right?

As you compound your crimes, so are you compounding the charges against you.

Am I wrong, or is she, the church that is protecting her, her supporters, and the ACLU just not getting the point?

She says she wants to stay here to make a better life for her and her son. How fine can it be to have to always be on the run, looking over your shoulder, always wondering if INS will catch up to you? How is it better if you have to try to make a mockery out of your laws and judicial system by making it publicly known that you are a lawbreaker, not just by coming here illegally, but also falsifying ID and who knows how many other countless crimes?

I honestly feel we need to revoke citizenship of anchor babies, send them and their parents back where they came from, and let them get in line to apply to LEGALLY re-enter the USA. If you want to give them some kind of advantage, put them first in line BEHIND all those who have LEGALLY tried to gain access to our country. It's a short line anyway.

Now, I know this view is going to piss off a lot of people, but hey, put down your guns, and think about it for a minute. If you come after me for my opinion with a gun or bomb, aren't YOU breaking the law as well?

And since when is it ok for the ACLU to support lawbreaking? Come on guys, give it a rest. Change the law if you feel it's unjust, but don't espouse protecting someone who broke the law.
The legislature and the ballot box are where you urge changes in laws if you want to protect someone. It's worked quite well for over 200 yrs, so get over yourself and just accept it.
The only way she should be allowed to stay is to do time in prison for her crimes.

And since that's never going to happen, she goes back to Mexico, and so does her son.......case closed

What a THANKSGIVING POST eh? I'm thankful for the ability to discern right from wrong, justice from injustice, and being able to put both into words without going to jail or dying for it.
