Why Liberals Should Fear Illegals

The claim is often made that unless we're Indians, we have no right to ask that our immigration laws be enforced. Which is like saying that unless you've had food poisoning, you have no right to have your food cooked. Most of us did not have ancestors who could claim unlimited social benefits the minute they reached America. No nation can afford to confer unlimited social programs on anyone who wants them. It can't be done. The ultimate result of conferring social benefits on illegal immigrants is that no one will be able to receive such benefits. If liberals want people to have welfare and health care, they need to realize that unlimited immigration will mean that will never happen. Never.
