Obama can thank Illegal Aliens 1

Let me establish my credentials.  I'm a registered Independent.  I'm normally conservative and find more in common with Republicans than Democrats.  I'm a 61 year old bi-lingual white male who has traveled extensively in Central and South America.  I lived in Mexico for brief periods of time and have traveled there on numerous occasions.  Mexico should be one of the richest nations in the world, and if it weren't for a corrupt political system, their mineral reserves, oil , work force, growing season and moderate climate would have made them the envy of 3rd world nation.  I understand why they come here looking for work and a way to improve their lot in life.  But there are also those who crisscross the border as willing participants in drug and human trafficking   and those who would prey on the generosity of the American welfare system.  Anchor babies, welfare checks, food stamps, subsidized housing, unemployment compensation, are just a few of the incentives to sneak across our southern border.  Benefits, not available in their home countries.  Hispanics are generally hard working, religious people who cherish the family unit, but too many have fallen victim to the temptation of voting fraudulently, and vote they did, in mass, across the nation in numbers that secured another four years for the worst president and vice-president in our history.   I've often wondered aloud why anyone would oppose voter ID, insuring one citizen, one vote.  It's a wholly demoralizing thought to think our 2012 national election for president was decided by millions of illegal aliens, dependent on the government, who become criminals by voting in an election they are not eligible for.  But then again, why not?  Their first crime was to come here undocumented, and then be forced to continually lie to authorities  secure fraudulent birth certificates and social security cards while living in the shadows.
