September 2006: Why are so many legal immigrants opposed to open borders?



The US is a nation of immigrants. Yet, there are more and more immigrants who are horrified with the chaos at the US-Mexico border. Check out one such story
'Battle at the border' :
"When he was 16, Gonzalo Llamas left his home in Zacatecas, Mexico, and illegally crossed the border by paying $20 to use an American citizen's passport.

Though the passport holder was older and balding, Llamas made it across and began his new life cleaning restaurants for $9 a job.
Now 50, Llamas is a U.S. citizen and owns a construction company in San Diego. And he wants the border sealed. The reason? Violent crime."

Also, let's not forget the national security issue.

Open and disorderly borders are an invitation to terrorists. I understand that most illegal immigrants are not terrorists but it only takes a few people to do do some very bad things.
