People who enter the U.S. illegally—especially from Mexico—are breaking the law from the start, and expecting consequences for that isn’t cruel, it’s just how any country should function. Every nation has the right to protect its borders, and just because the U.S. is more lenient than places like Russia or North Korea doesn’t mean laws can be ignored. Many illegal immigrants don’t pay income taxes like legal citizens do, yet still use public services such as schools, hospitals, and welfare programs—putting extra pressure on hardworking taxpayers. While some may come here to escape poverty or violence, that doesn’t make it okay to break the law—especially when people from places like Asia, Europe, and Africa often go through the legal process and wait years to get here the right way. It’s even more frustrating when some wave the Mexican flag or burn the American flag during protests—disrespecting the very country they’re trying to stay in. If they love Mexico so much, why not go back? And saying the U.S. is “stolen land” doesn’t hold up—almost every country, including Mexico, was taken through war or conquest. That history doesn’t erase modern laws. States like Texas have felt the effects of illegal immigration through rising crime rates, homelessness, drug issues, and a heavier tax burden. At the end of the day, entering illegally is still a crime, and if people break the law, they shouldn’t be shocked when there are consequences. Freedom doesn’t mean laws don’t matter
