Why should we shoulder the responsibility and the cost to the taxpayers from an overburdening of our country with the overwhelming issue of illegal immigrants? We are proud to be American and live a country where you as a citizen have rights to live, speak and pursue your dreams without persecution. The fact that we Americans are being forced to learn Spanish because the immigrants that live here are too lazy to learn our language is beyond my understanding. What about our inalienable rights? The immigration situation is grossly out of control and no one has any suggestions. These would work !

The following immigration laws are proposed:

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.

2. All ballots will be in this nation’s primary language.

3. All government business will be conducted in our language.

4. Nonresidents will not have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

5. Noncitizens will never be able to hold political office.

6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or no government assistance programs. Any burden will be deported.

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

8. If foreigners come here and buy land, options will be restricted. Certain parcels, including waterfront property, are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.

9. Foreigners may have no protests, no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad mouthing our president or his policies. These will lead to deportation.

10. If you come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted and when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged. All assets will be taken from you.

Harsh you say?

The above laws are current immigration laws of Mexico.
