Many people have the misconception that illegal immigrants increase the amount of crime in communities across the US (let's forget about the "crime" of being in the US illegally for the sake of this argument).
If you believe that, you must believe that these people are sneaking into the US from Mexico- a country where drug cartels control large portions of land, terrorize communities, and decapitate mayors, police officers, as well as other public officials- and come to the US to commit crimes for themselves?
"Come on guys, there's enough crime in Mexico, let's go do some in the US..."
You think they risk their lives and commit the "crime" of coming into the US, just to commit more crime? Don't you think it'd be easier to just commit crimes in Mexico? I mean, it seems like it'd be way easier to get away with things over there rather that in the US.
If I wanted to do something that I would get in trouble for in the US, that I know I could get away with in Mexico, I'd definitely go there to do it...say for example, if I was underage and wanted to drink alcohol, why not go to Mexico to do it where I wouldn't have to worry about getting into trouble? But that doesn't happen, us Americans are better than that...Right?
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but when you hear something on the news or from politicians, do you ever think about what they say before you repeat it to others, and more importantly- actually believe it yourself? Well, you probably should...you might sound a little less like a robot repeating what you heard, and a little smarter next time you try to make a point.
