The Touchy Feely Side of Breaking the Law

Wow. I would not have believed it. The US government is actually enforcing their law on illegal immigration. They are going to places that have incidents of known illegal foreign visitors, investigating them, arresting them, and deporting them. Wow! Who would have thought that this could happen in America? Government officials who are actually enforcing the law and it’s not even a speed trap.

Now we get the after effects of what happens when our government does its job and sends the illegal aliens back to their country of origin. The media went straight to the sensitive side of sending people home and talked about the displacement of families and loss of able bodied workers and how that will cause changes in the places where the deportation is taking place. What? We are talking about arresting criminals and following the law. We get all up in arms when someone robs a bank or cheats investors but are upset when millions of people steal your tax dollars, illegally. You have millions of illegal immigrants have broken the law by entering our country illegally. That means that there is a law that says they cannot be here. Hello! If they robbed your house you would call the police. If they camped out on your front lawn (which is technically what they are doing) there would be a sheriff escorting them somewhere else. To boot, they are using your public services, for free, and our concern is how it will affect the families of those who are being shipped back to their own country. It means that they will be back with their families in their country of origin instead of being in our country illegally.

The article I read says that 2100 illegals have been rounded up so far this year. That is up from 1145 last year. At this rate, we will have all of the illegals rounded up and shipped back in 6000 years if you figure there are about 14,000,000 in America. Congress has decided to put up a wall between Mexico and the US which will help with the steady inflow of unlawful entrants. Mexico does not like the idea of a border and compared it to the Berlin Wall. The difference is that was to keep people in, not to prevent them from leaving. Americans and Mexicans are currently free to travel between countries in a legal manner. A fence helps reduce the amount of illegal travel coming in. I don’t hear Mexico complaining about Americans bringing our dollars into their country and there is little complaint about Mexicans sending billions of dollars home. Just follow the law. Why is that so difficult to understand?
