What countries throughout the world do not seek to protect their own borders, their sovereignty and their people from invaders who come in defiance of their laws?
It is strange that as the United States seeks to guard our country against literally millions of illegal invaders (obviously not very effectively), some people are criticizing our reasonable law enforcement efforts.
The United States welcomes many legal immigrants and many visitors. But we do have laws for orderly and limited entrance of people from foreign countries. We understand the eagerness of some foreigners to come here seeking better economic opportunities. We may even sympathize with their aspirations. But any country that does not control those seeking to cross its borders invites crime, and many other social and economic difficulties.
We sympathize with the people of all border states – Arizona is especially in the news these days – as they seek to avoid being inundated by massive illegal invasion. Unfortunately, some U.S. officials are not determined to uphold our laws. That just doesn’t make sense.
We welcome legal immigrants, but not uncontrolled invasion.
