I read this and it bothered me…
The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally…
Er… Am I missing something? We’re passing a law to make unlawful entry to the U.S. a crime. Well, a more serious crime.
Now, don’t get me wrong. We desperately need tighter control of our borders. Thing is, the laws are already there! All that needs to be done is to strictly and forcefully enforce those laws. Border Patrol just needs to litter the border with the bodies of the first twenty or so Wetbacks that zip over the line and leave them where they fall.
Afterall, buzzards have got to eat just like the rest of us.
I’ve got no issue with the LEGAL entry into this Country of anyone willing to be a loyal and productive member of our Nation. That is what built the United States. The simple fact is that we can’t take everyone and we MUST be more careful in these days of terrorism threats.
Besides, the real answer is for the Mexicans to straighten out their own country, not drag the problems of Mexico up here.
Omar, out.
