Missing the Point on Immigration

I think that the media is missing the point with all this Immigration stuff. The people we are talking about here are ILLEGAL immigrants. We aren't talking about the people who went through the legal immigration process and earned their way in. We are talking about people who are living here ILLEGALLY. I keep hearing the phrase "everyone should be treated equally" and I completely agree with this phrase. Everyone should be subject to the same rules...thus the definition of the word EQUAL. Beacuse you are a certain national origin, religion or sexual orientation does not mean you are better than everyone else and can live by a separate set of rules.

Let me put it another way. If a large bunch of drug smugglers, child molestors or terrorists lived in this country illegally, you sure as shit better beleive that our government officials would be falling all over themselves to throw them out quickly. If you live here illegally you are already breaking the rules. Why penalize the people who are doing things the right way?
