You did that.

In California illegal aliens cosume $9B more in government resources than they put back into the system. That does not even begin to take into account the detrimental effects on our legal system when you have people who commit crimes, from petty larceny to murder and everything else in-between, who will never be held accountable because they skip out and return to their native countries.

Whether one wants to face it or not, illegal immigration into the US is a serious problem that calls for intelligent solutions. Neither opening the border and saying" Bienvenido Amigos or nor putting up a wall and shooting everyone in sight will solve the problem.

Finding those solutions is one of the biggest challenge of our generation. If we do not find those solutions, and finding them quick, the USA that we will leave to our children will be a lesser country than the one our parents gave us.
