Let me tell you about the current State of our Union.  Currently we have 20+ million illegal aliens inside our borders wreaking havoc not only in the streets, but in our schools, hospitals and courts. Everyday when these criminals (you see, they came here ILLEGALLY) benefit from certain services that belong to American citizens, they commit another crime -- theft.

Americans are forced to pay billions of dollars every year in the form of taxes, higher health care costs, higher education costs, and higher law enforcement costs for a group of foreigners who have absolutely no right to that money. Yet they take it anyway.

Citizens of this great Union foot the bill for children walking across the border in broad daylight to attend school in the United States.

Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1985, hospitals are obligated to treat the uninsured without reimbursement.  The only difference between a citizen and an illegal is the hospital has a way to seek reimbursement from a citizen where they have no recourse against the illegal.

Cases on illegal immigration are heard in our courts every day. Increased numbers of law enforcement officers are necessary to keep up with the escalating crime rate that accompanies rapid population growth. It is unfair to ask tax payers to fund the increase of local law enforcement if the President and Congress do not do the same for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Overcrowding of schools; increased poverty; illegals voting in federal elections; illegal immigration affects each and every part of our daily lives.

We urge the President to address illegal immigration during his State of the Union Address and to call for Congress to fund the fence they voted for last year, to increase overall funding for border security, and enforce current immigration laws, ending the thievery taking place in our Union every day.
