The late Sonny Bono once said: If it's illegal why are we talking about?

The issue of the rule of law is lost on a lot people. When respect for the law is eroded because some people (including some Republicans in this case) do not like the law, the consequences down the road are ultimately catastrophic. The rule-of-law is one of the top three or four things that have made this country great.

Immigration needs to be discussed in all its aspects soon (after this election). It has ramifications for security, the economy, the rule of law, the future make-up of the political culture of this nation, social security and other entitlements etc...If some people do not like the law, let them try to change it. The majority in this country wants less immigration.

Immigation is festering problem that cannot be ignored any longer. The French ignored their immigration problem for a long time They now have a mess on their hands, and ended up with a fascist (LePen) as the second vote-getter in their last presidential election.

I noticed the compassion and crocodile tears Maria Hinojosa, CNN, and Asa Hutchinson have for the plight of the illegals. However, I did not hear one word of compassion for those who are waiting years to come here legally. They don't hear or care when my Russian wife cries at night, because it is taking years for her daughter and grandson to come here legally. I served my country in the Special Forces for 6 years, and our government will not even allow my stepdaughter and her son to visit. We have to spend our savings on travel back and forth between here and Russia whenever there is a problem there. Quite frankly I don't think very much of their false compassion.
