Immigration Issues

Immigration issues have become a serious issue among the American people but, is being ignored by the government. Our government has forgotten that they work for us and not the other way around.
When on the campaign trail a candidate will put the topic of immigration issues on the back burner in fear of offending the very people that they are trying to get votes from. America is looking for candidates that will run on the values and principles of the Constitution and will actually uphold to the oath that they will take if elected. Not someone who takes the oath of office and then does as they please.
Without federal polices on immigration issues the states are trying to uphold their immigration polices but, this just causes the illegal immigrant just to pack up and move to another state with more lenient policies. There needs to be federal immigration issue polices that will allow the detaining and deporting of illegal immigrants, no questions asked! We should adopt the immigration policies of Mexico, they are some of the toughest in the World.
One thing that I don’t understand is why our government would go and grant these illegal immigrants the benefits that we have work and paid in for all our lives and now they get to tap into them without putting in one red cent. The government has now granted the immigrants access to Social Security, Social Security Disability, food stamps and many other benefits that not even the American citizens are qualified to apply for. Now where is the justice in this?
Is there any wonder why the American people are upset with the government? We now have a government that is more partial to immigrants than their own citizens. They say that they are not taking jobs away form citizens but, I can tell you from experience that they are taking away American jobs in the construction industry. I worked in that field for 27 years and they have just about taken every part of that field away from us. They have taken over the form and concrete, framing, decking, roofing, and many other jobs. I was in the interior finishing part of construction and had to take disability retirement due to kidney and heart problems so I don’t know if they have taken that part over yet or not. Would not surprise me.
You take some of the houses that the immigrants frame up and you get bowed walls, out of square rooms, and in some instances the roof starts to sag before the house is a year old, you get what you pay for. The reason contractors use them is because they will throw house up in half the time that a professional crew will do them in and the contractor is after quantity and not quality.
You make up your own decisions about immigration issues and decide if you agree or disagree with all the preferential treatment they receive from our government is fair to you as a citizen or not. Should the immigration laws be tougher and enforced or just let them keep on coming over here until we have no jobs at all.
