The United States very well may be the only country on Earth that invites illegal immigrants to stand on the floor of their national convention and demand systematic change across the political divide. Think about this for just a moment - imagine you live in China, illegally, what do you think will happen once you get caught? They will ship you back to the U.S. Period. I overstayed my Chilean visa by 1 day and was threatened to be sent to military prison.

Given this is not only a Democrat problem, but a Republican problem as well, both parties irresponsibly pander to potential voters - in this case illegal immigrants. Does that make it right? No. I am all for removing borders globally, but this is not what Democrats are describing. They don't want Trump to separate families. That is it. Where these people used as pawns, yes.

Back in the 80's, amnesty was granted for 3 million undocumented workers. Flash forward 30 years, that number is now over 12+ million. When will it end?

I don't know about you all, but I could care less about which party you are from - we need to get illegal immigration under control. What will you do to fix this?

Undocumented immigrants cannot vote.
