America is one big house, and people that I know protect their home and family from intruders.

Is that not how things work in Maryland?

At the sacrifice of taking money from the people in my house by taking jobs from the people in my house.

And before you say "but it says doing all the things "YOU DON'T LIKE TO DO!"  Guess what?  Most people don't like to do their job.

Just because it's their right, doesn't make it ok.

They're not American because they're here illegally.

Except when he takes the job of someone who is here legally and is a citizen.

That's where your logic is flawed in all of this: what gives someone who is here illegally the same rights as someone who is here legally and is doing it all the right way?

If you pay taxes, ok.

The costs of the benefits far outweigh the taxes they pay.
