Thoughts on the Illegal Immigration Problem

I voted Democrat and will likely do so again. I have in most elections. It is not that I have an issue with Mexicans as a whole. Most of the people in my neighborhood are Mexican or Mexican-American. As a Caucasian, I'm in the minority here. My neighbors are great people and I have no issues with any of them. My direct next door neighbor is originally from Mexico City and he is a kind, helpful person who has assisted me with many handyman type tasks that I couldn't do myself. However, I have a problem with the illegals. My brother works as a firefighter/paramedic and SWAT medic in Tucson. He tells me about the horrific problems they have with drug trafficking down in Tucson. It is an awful problem. This is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue or a Conservative vs. Liberal issue. It is not an anti-Latino stance. I don't want to keep the law-abiding Mexican immigrants out. I don't want the drug traffickers and criminals coming in.
