Thanks for standing tall for citizens

Dictionary meaning of illegal alien: "Foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson."

With that stated, there should be no question for our elected federal and state officials not to be enforcing the current immigration laws. Our laws have been put into place to build and to keep our country safe. How can we continue to have constant illegal immigration weakening the safety and the security of my country?

Our tax dollars are being spent each year on the health and welfare of these people, and they have never given our country a dime in return. I am not against immigration as long as each and every person goes through the legal process to become a U.S. citizen. Thank you, governor of Arizona, for standing tall for all U.S. legal citizens.
