Friends,

The Open Borders radicals like to claim that the only reason many Americans are upset about illegal immigration is because of character flaws such as racism and a penchant to hate others for no good reason.

In fact, there are many reasons people are upset about illegal immigration and I think it is time we enumerated them.

Let's start a list here.

ALIPAC MODS: PLEASE HELP UPDATE THE LIST AS NEW SUGGESTIONS ARE ADDED BY BOARD USERS.
