Law Day - Illegal Aliens

To add insult to injury, the illegal aliens marched on Law Day. Law Day in the United States was established as in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower “to strengthen our great heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under law.” In 1961, May 1st was designated as Law Day by joint resolution of Congress as the official date for celebrating Law Day U.S.A. Yet, we stand by and watch thousands of illegal aliens march in Indianapolis and throughout the country, thumbing their noses at the rule of law. Their attitude is akin to the famous line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" Well, the illegal aliens are like the bandits in the movie who pretend to be Federales and believe that it should not matter whether they have proof of said claim. The illegal aliens similarly state that they do not need to provide visas, passports or any other authenticating document to visit, reside or work in our country. Additionally, when authenticating documents are desired, it does not matter to them (and according to them it should not matter to us) whether they steal information from American citizens to obtain driver’s licenses, social security numbers or any other number of untold benefits. The tolerance of this attitude seems very strange to me, as I am sure it does to American citizens, whom have to present passports to fly to Mexico or Canada and to be permitted to re-enter the United States. Clearly, something is terribly wrong and if we, the citizens of the United States, do not take a stand against this criminal behavior, we will forever regret it.
