Many countries of Europe have suffered massive invasions over many years, with terrible consequences. What would we in the United States do if we were invaded?
In considering such a thing, we may think of an “invading army.” Fortunately, we do not suffer such a problem. But we are being invaded!
Many millions of people — we really don’t know how many — have invaded our country illegally, with more coming! Fortunately, the invaders are not in a foreign army. Most just want American jobs. But some are dangerous criminals.
We should guard our borders. That’s a federal government responsibility, and it is also a particular responsibility of border states. But we are failing.
Arizona has passed a tough law against illegal invaders. Arizona guesstimates it alone has 460,000 illegals in its borders. But Arizona’s efforts to deal with the serious problem have stirred hostile reactions not only from the illegal invaders, but also from some Americans.
We certainly do not want anyone, illegal or not, to be mistreated in our country. But we should not accept invasion by millions of illegals, either.
Many illegals come seeking jobs. Some perform welcome labor. But there are many negatives, too. Illegals cost American citizens and create danger.
Is it “wrong” or “misguided” or “unreasonable” for us to have laws limiting immigration — and enforce them? We have a serious invasion problem — and we are not facing it effectively. And it’s getting worse.
