We can't blame the criminal aliens, only the administration and the war.

I agree the Illegals are killing our nation financially. But Iraq and Afghan are costing us to the tune of $108 billion a year at 9 bil a month this is minor in comparison to the lives that are lost.
The answer, send the Illegals south and bring our young men and women home. Start the war on terror here. Protect our ports and our borders and tell the rest of the world to eat shi* and die. That is basically what the world wishes for us. No one in the UN cares about the US unless it wants a hand out. Charity and war chasing needs to stop. I hate being the world's doormat. I love my country but enough is enough.

1, 2, 3, and 8 seem to be the same thing, right?

Also what is forgotten by both all the press, the human right watch and the UN is the trafficking of humans over the Mexican border as Sex Slaves and Slave Labor.

If there is one thing that this country can do, it is to fight slavery and putting a 300 foot ditch the length of the border with armed guards and razor wire will stop it dead in it's tracks.

We as a country are really screwed up, we have to worry about what happened 143 years ago but the same people who are demanding more rights and justice for something that did not happen to them refuse to demand that our country fights the same if not worst things from happening to people from all walks of life right now.
