Stop illegal immigration now

While Juan Justo-Martinez, who was recently arrested for trying to smuggle a box cutter onto a plane, may be a Mexican national, the fact that he carried "fraudulent Social Security and alien registration cards" purchased at a local Hispanic market makes it certain that he's also an illegal alien.

Some may say that he's one of the "good-hearted people" that President Bush wants to offer amnesty as a reward for his lawbreaking. They say Justo-Martinez is here to put food on his family's table by "doing the jobs Americans don't want."

I say smuggling a box cutter onto a commercial airplane must be another of the "jobs Americans won't do." Here again we see the dangers of illegal immigration. It's time we did something to stop it.
