I know that you are right and that I would be abandoning my principles if I vote for Medina or anyone else, but desperation makes people act like the people who put them in that despair.  We forget everything that means something to us, making ourselves believe that what we do is right even though it only serves our purpose, our ends.

Illegal immigration is not the problem and never has been.  Any illegal immigration issues that have arisen over the years are merely a symptom of the problems manifested by the state by providing welfare programs to everyone  including illegal immigrants (which solve nothing and never end once established), bleeding the people of their hard earned money through THEFT (taxation), and abandoning the principles of free enterprise through regulation and force.  The state is the cause of all our economic and political woes.  When you have an infection, you don't allow the bacteria to spread, you heal it at the source.  Increasing the power of the state and using aggression to take care of the illegal immigration problem is not curing our ills, it is only spreading the bacteria.  I do not wish to use the long arm of the state to create more tyrrany and misery.

Illegal immigrants have done nothing to me and are as much a victim as I am.   It is the state that stole from my pocket through threat of violence to provide these programs that are being exploited.  Put the blame where it belongs.  Don't perpetuate the cycle of violence by creating a mythical scape goat (illegal immigration) to sacrifice to your god, the state.  Who knows, you could be the next goat on the chopping block; that is the nature of democracy after all.
