“You seem to have mistaken the sovereignty of a free nation for the sovereignty of a police state.”

That’s a classic. You seem to have mistaken the sovereignty of a free nation for the...

Well, you’ve mistaken it for nothing at all, other than your own twisted logic. Having immigration laws, and enforcing those laws, is NOT a police state.

What you really favor is turning over all immigration decisions to business interests. We’ve done that for years and it’s gotten us around 20 million illegals, and all the diminished wages and living standards that entails, and also the cheaper payrolls for the lawbreakers who hired them illegally.

It’s time business interests were ignored on immigration policy for a couple of decades, and let the much ballyhooed free market function among US citizens to make the necessary adjustments in supply, demand and price of labor.

That’s what this is all about from the American side, cheap labor and little else.

Of course not.

However, denying anyone access to the US who has a clean record, who wants to work and who has a job offer is not the way America works.

Free countries do not close their doors to peaceful and well-intentioned people.
