My Opinion On Illegal Immigration Laws

Personally, I think our politicians have forgotten the Declaration of Independence.  The reason for my thinking this is that we Americans in the 18th century stood for life, liberty, and the right to be happy.  Well Mexican immigrants are not quite being treated like other American citizens.  They are treated differently from all other groups of people immigrating to America.  The people from Europe and Ireland, Greenland and the Soviet Union (aka Russia) and China and Japan are allowed  to come in and not be investigated as to where they come from.  America in a way seems to be reverting back to the 19th century.  Immigrants from Mexico have been killed, but some ranchers were killed too.  The immigrants jump the fences swim the Rio Grande and do everything it takes to get to the land of liberty.  For what? To be questioned about if they immigrated here legally.  I think we should get rid of the laws in these border states that say you're allowed to shoot those who enter your territory.  I mean what are we, canines or humans?  So what if the legal immigrants forget their IDs, are you just going to treat them like they have no civil rights?   This is terrible. These laws about checking to see if the immigrants are citizens of the USA are racist.  21st century America is possibly the worst place in history besides the 19th century.
