We.. the people of the United States.. neither want nor do we need millions of illegal aliens.. simply to fill the cheap labor pool of American businesses. We have over 300,000,000 of our own citizens to take care of.

This statement is a little out of hand. The US needs labor and Mexicans are some of the people ready willing and able to provide that labor. What they need to do is enter the country
legally. Then their jobs will be compensated in a legal manner as prescribed by law. ie, they will at least be paid the minimum wage. They will pay all income taxes and Social Security and Medicare taxes as well.
Illegally entering this country only invites exploitation by business, over burdens social services, short changes education, and cheats the government out of taxes all citizens must pay for the right to live here. The border needs to be secured and immigrants need to cross legally to not only protect themselves but also to continue to ensure the rule of law is enforced across the land on an equal basis for all.
