I came here as an immigrant. My family followed the rules. It would have been a constant shame for us to have broken the immigration laws of this great and just country we humbly asked to be part of. We have not allowed others in our extended family or ethnic community to sneak in and take advantage of American citizens, no matter how much we surmised they would have been a boon to the country.
It is a sin to Covet Thy Neighbors goods and the Mexicans who say they are practicing their Catholic faith, if they have come here illegally, are handing down their sins to their children and grandchildren. That is a terrible legacy.
That is how I feel. These laws allow us to live in an environment that is stable, predicable and whose laws are applicable equally.That is why my family left our natal place. We all have a choice between right and wrong.
I came here as a legal immigrant as well and resent people that “cut in line”.
But what I resent even more is the people that are charged with enforcing the rules that don’t. That in fact encourage law breaking.
Not only does it result in an outright “invasion” but what’s even worse, it severely erodes our “rule of law” which is a key foundation of this great country.
My observation regarding the illegals was not a moral judgement but simply an educated guess on how they will fare here in future years.
