I'm really getting annoyed .....

I think of myself as a reasonably generous and hospitable kind of guy, but, to be honest, several things about our illegal immigrant "crisis" are really starting to get under my skin (notably the complete and apparent lack of understanding &/or concern - other than lip service - from our elected officials, particularly those in the US Senate). I appreciate and, frankly, admire the work ethic of many/most of the guys I see daily sweating and working their backsides off. However, that doesn't diminish my increasingly strong feelings about the "wrongness" (dare I say illegality?) of their being here in the US. Couple that with the more recent protests, demanding their "rights" (which, being illegal, they don't have or qualify for anyway) and it really makes my blood start to boil .... We are (or were) a nation of laws. Illegals (and their enablers with their own agendas, like Ted Kennedy, et.al.) have, I think, made a big mistake by drawing attention to themselves by protesting. Not only have they flouted our laws and systems while simultaneously making a mockery of those who've come to the US legally, they are igniting a backlash among the US citizenry. This is a huge strategic mistake. My hope is our elected officials will finally hear/see that backlash from the "silent majority" and take note of it. Clearly, something has to change, and fast.

On a lighter note, you may get a laugh out of this…
