Illegal Aliens and American Citizens?

My father and I were talking on the phone the other day, and him and I got on the subject of Illegal Aliens, etc. My father and I both have the same feelings when it comes to this.

First off, what can irritate me, is that they come to this country illegally and don’t know any damn english, and when they get here, it appears that they are able to get free health issurance or get a job that any one of us are more qualified for, but aren’t able to get because the employer can pay them cheaper than they can pay us…or it is easier (for some reason) to get health benifits and what-not easier than we can in our own damn country. Doesn’t this cause more unemployment for U.S citizens? Doesn’t this bring on more homeless people in this country? Is it just me, or am I just the only one that sees this?

Personally, if I were to go to another country where I didn’t know their language, I would like to learn it before I got there. However, If I wanted to live there, I would like to become a citizen of their country as well.

Lately, I have been wondering if I am considered as Democratic, Republican, Libreral, or whatever else is out there. I guess, in a way, I really don’t care. I just feel that as an American Citizen, me and whoever else, is getting screwed when it comes to jobs, benifits,  and health care.

And why the hell are we paying out to other countries when we owe a shitload all ready? Why do we owe probably around trillions (and whatever comes after Trillion) of dollars to other countries in the first place? We should look into enriching our own before we help others in theirs. First off, we should of paid them back some how or another, instead of placing ourselves deeper and deeper into dept.

This is not rascist and it is in no way my intention. I just feel that if you are to come here, then you better pass your test before you get here. Plain and simple.

Now I understand that some come here for a better life or they come here to get out of their situation of war, poverty, and what-have-you, but isn’t there a place they can go legally to get them in this country legally instead of  just coming here with no clue except for what they heard?

Now, don’t bash me on this because I am still trying to understand the concept of leaving a country you born in, and just up and leave everything behind. I have not gone through extreme war, poverty (I have but not to the extent that I have heard about), etc.

I am just trying to understand the concept of it all, and why I feel that us as American Citizens, are getting screwed, but having someone that is not from here legally, is getting more than what we are asking for or are in need of. Can someone explain this to me?
