Let’s see, on May 1 we had an immigration rally in downtown Seattle demanding equal rights for illegal immigrants. Now we have illegal immigrants protesting the use of Border Patrol agents to translate when people are stopped by police or they have called 911 and they can’t speak English.
Border Patrol agents are law enforcement officers the same as any other policemen, their job is also to look for terrorist activity and people who have entered this country illegally. We have too many special interest groups in this country already, we don’t need another trying to get the same rights for illegal immigrants that American citizens have fought for.
People seem to forget that being in this country illegally is a crime and that makes them a criminal, the only real rights they have is the right to get on a bus, a train or a plane and go back where they came from and start the process to become legal US citizens. Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented immigrant is like calling a drug dealer a undocumented pharmacist.
