And were our borders slammed shut for reasonable economic reasons or xenophobia and bigotry?
Are you zealots ready to change our quotas to allow a few million a year to enter this country "legally" or are you determined to keep the fences up? When people enter this country without authorization they are not "illegal" people. Their action was illegal and the adjective your side has chosen tells much about your perception. And much about the empathy you display toward those who had the courage and determination to try to better their lives and those of their families.

The words are being twisted again to suit a purpose. The law dictates what is legal or illegal. Before the political correctness crowd tried to put a shine on the illeagality by calling it something else the term used most often was illegal aliens. Then more shine to call it illegal immigration. And now the latest push is to try to eliminate the fact of the matter by removing any reference to illegal.
If they did not get the proper documentation like many of our lineage did when coming into this country, then the entry is illegal. The person doing so is an illegal immigrant....no matter how you cut it or paint it or want to make it something else.
NOBODY is denying anybody the right to seek a better life....we only insist it be done legally as it has and still is for the majority coming here.
Why is it OK for hundreds of thousands to come across the border every day without any documentation?With not even having to go through a checkpoint?
Why is the boarder patrol being coerced to not enfoce the laws of entry.
Why are those who are breaking the law entitled to benefits that our own citizens do not have access to getting.
Why is it OK to have an open border policy that literally allows terrorists that are intent on killing Americans come in freely?
Why is all the above OK.
The silence on the matter is deafening except for the party faithful rhetoric that has not one thing to do with the reality of the issue. The supporters are obvious in their reluctance to answer why it is OK with them.
I do hope the supporters know and understand that you, your family and neighbors do not get a free pass from those who would come here to kill us all....you and your loved ones would be in the carnage along with the other innocents. You do know they don't care if you are a dem or what ever.....right.
Why is that OK?
