Legal immigrants are proud of what they have achieved and live without fear. Illegal immigrants are without pride, live in fear of being caught for crimes they have committed and have no interest in making the place they live better. Their motives are necessarily selfish and if given amnesty will never make good neighbors and good citizens. Why would they?
rlw6534, it's never been about race. It's about people that planned to break our laws by overstaying visas or sneaking across our borders. It's about people who use stolen or forged IDs and greedy criminal employers that hire them.
Immigration laws were passed for good reasons. We now have to import food to feed America. We import oil, clothing and technology. We've filled our land with people and we are using up finite resources to take care of our needs. Illegal immigrants are law breakers and opportunists using up our resources even more rapidly and many break several laws to stay here undetected. Mayor Chastain clearly sees that the bottom line in the ledger means poorer quality of life for residents as illegal immigrants grow in numbers and do their thing. I commend him for looking out for the best interests of Walhalla.
