We should not judge

Illegal immigration has become an everyday problem in this country. Many U.S. citizens argue that they are paying taxes to support illegal immigrants.

I’m sorry, but anyone who really knows illegal immigrants knows that they work 10 hours a day for six days a week and work overtime, if possible. Even if they don’t pay taxes, they should be returned tax funds for their hard work and contributions to this country.

I’d love to see U.S. citizens who complain about illegal immigrants try working in meatpacking plants and out in the fields, sweating and getting sunburned.

I am a U.S. citizen. The United States is home for me and my Mexican family. Jesus came into this world not to judge but to save. Why do human beings have to judge? It’s just not fair.
