Wake up and smell the coffee my friends, contrary to not so popular belief, the United States does not really have an immigration problem, generally speaking.

The United States does however, have an immigration problem with one specific country, namely Mexico. Have you ever noticed that there is no immigration problem with the rest of the world? My explanation and rationale for this position is rather simple. The rest of the world is "playing by the rules". For some strange reason, Mexico and it's citizens feel that it is their "right" to ignore the immigration laws of the United States. And believe you me they totally and completely do ignore them. My friends, if the rest of the countries of the world and their citizens ignored the United States immigration laws the way Mexico and it's citizens do, it would be utter chaos in this country. That said, it is my view that it is approaching chaos right now with nearly 11 million primarily Mexican illegal aliens "demanding" that they be "allowed" to work in this country, primarily because they will supposedly do jobs that no one else will do. Please spare me, can’t they dream up a better excuse than that old tired line?

Look, this is pure and utter "nonsense", there are literally hundreds of millions of people in countries around the world, other than Mexicans, who will do these jobs in the United States that "nobody else wants to do", except that these people are not allowed into the United States illegally, only the Mexicans are "allowed" to enter the country illegally.

For instance, there are something like 1.3 billion people in China, over 1.0 billion people in India, 796 million in Africa, 244 million in Indonesia and hundreds of millions living in other countries throughout the world. The total population of Mexico is 107 million, of which approximately 10%, or 11 million are living as illegal immigrants in the United States. If 10% of the population of China felt like it was their "right" to work and live in the United States as the Mexicans do, there would be 113 million Chinese living in the United States as "illegal aliens" or "undocumented workers". If 10% of the population of India ignored the immigration laws of the United States and entered the country illegally, there would be 100 million citizens of India living in the United States illegally.

Folks, there are millions upon millions of people in countries throughout the world who would love to have the opportunity to work in the United States and do jobs "no one else wants to do", if only they could. They would be here in a "minute" if they were allowed to come to the United States.

Mexico and it's citizens have no more "right" to enter the United States illegally than the citizens of China, India or any other country in the world. The liberal left’s premise is that "immigrants - yes, many of them here illegally - are fueling an economy.

The natural extension of this premise is rather unsettling to say the least. The logical "fair" conclusion of this premise is that immigrants from "all countries" of the world should have this opportunity to "fuel the economy" not just those immigrants from Mexico, unless you are in favor of a dual immigration policy, one immigration policy for Mexico where little attention is paid to "illegal immigration" and another immigration policy for the rest of the world where the laws against entering this country illegally are strictly enforced. I bet our friends from South of the Border would just love this.

As stated previously, the United States has an immigration problem with one country, namely Mexico; there is no real immigration problem with the other countries of the world. The "immigration debate" is really about how if we Americans going to have two immigration policies, one for Mexico and one for the rest of the world or are we going to have one immigration policy that is applied fairly to all countries of the world. I vote for the later. Please do the same this November.
