In 2006 during St. Patricks, I was watching the news and saw some new legislation that would deport illegal Irish immigrants. My immediate reaction was, why the hell would you want to do that, they're already here, let them work in America.

That was probably the first time I've shocked myself. I thought I hate illegal immigration when talking about Mexico, why the hell did I have such a subservient view thought in regards to Illegal Mexicans but not the Illegal Irish? I thought about it for a minute and came to a conclusion. I'm not against illegal immigration, I'm against illegal Mexicans.

Law is law and all Americans should respect the law, but really who the hell cares who came here from where and what they do now? As long as they pay taxes like everyone else, put food on the table, and somehow contribute to society, then bravo to America. If you're thinking breaking the law is wrong, yada yada yada, let me ask you this: are you offended when you see someone speeding on the highway? Well they did just break the law and you sure as hell didnt care.

However, this isnt the case with our illigal mexican immigrants. Sure some of them work like animals, but as everything in life, there are pros and cons to this. Them working in this country comes at a large expense and I'm not talking about jobs either. I'm all for free economies and making white guys like me rich.

I'm talking about not paying taxes while recieving benefits such as public schooling, subsidized health care, and welfare programs. Not only does this take away from the American citizens who actually need these programs, it's putting a huge stress on the government. Check out this fun fact:

"A study made by the U.S.-Mexico Border Counties Coalition, an American lobbying group, found that U.S. hospitals in border states provide at least $200 million a year in uncompensated emergency care to illegal aliens. In the four border states, 77 hospitals now face a medical emergency. Uncompensated care to illegal aliens in Arizona cost the Cochise County Health Department 30% of its annual budget, the Copper Queen Hospital in Bisbee $200,000 out of a net operating income of $300,000"

Some immigrants think that because they live in America they are citzens, but thats just not true. You are only a citizen when you assimilate into a society. It's like when you go to a new school, you cant really call yourself as a student there until you become a classmate You have to become a part of the student body as a whole.

Why are Mexicans coming to America to recieve all the benefits of an American but bring with them all of the bad traits which made Mexico bad enough to leave? It's just silly. How many times have you heard of an illegal Irish immigrant kill a cop? Now compare this with Latino gang violence in California. These little gangs are the same groups that rally up more illegals for cash and carry with them large sums of drugs into America.

How many Irish immigrants have been caught by border agents with little bags of heroin rolled up their assholes?

And when these heroin assholed Mexicans get caught, they get put in prison which costs me and you even more money. Take a look at these incarceration rates as of 2004:

Whites: 393 per 100,000
Latinos: 957 per 100,000
Blacks: 2,531 per 100,000
I know this doesnt say anything about illegal immigrants, but why is America's newest major ethnic group the second most incarcerated? They arent black, they dont have the whole slavery card to pull. I can tell you that its not because they have the good ol' American dream most other immigrants have.
