Set aside for a moment all the controversies over illegal immigration—the wall, deportation, amnesty, Donald J. Trump, “comprehensive immigration reform,” etc. Instead, contemplate what happens in a social, cultural, and economic context when several million immigrants arrive from one of the poorest areas in the world (e.g., Oaxaca) to one of the most affluent (e.g., California). For guidance, think not of Jorge Ramos, but of the premodern/postmodern collision that is occurring in Germany, Austria, and Denmark.
The first casualty is the law. I am not referring to the collapse of federal immigration enforcement, but rather the ripples that must follow from it. When someone ignores a federal statute, then it is naturally easy to flout more. In Los Angeles, half the traffic accidents are hit-and-run collisions. I can attest first-hand that running from an accident or abandoning a wrecked vehicle is certainly a common occurrence in rural California. Last night on a rural road, a driver behind me (intoxicated? Malicious? Crazy?) apparently tried to rear-end me, then turned off his lights, sped up, and at the next stop sign pulled over swearing out the window in Spanish. In this age and in these environs, why would one call a sheriff for a minor everyday occurrence like that? The point is simply that when there is no federal law, no one has any idea how several million arrive in the U.S., much less what exactly they were doing before their illegal arrival. I note the latter consideration, because legal immigration does require some sort of personal history, and at the airport I am always asked by U.S Customs what exactly I was doing in Greece or Germany that prompted my trip.

The INSANITY of NOT protecting our BORDERS!!
Laws are for civilized people.
Lawless people live lawlessly.
Most of my Hispanic relatives understand this. The ones that don’t and play the stupid “culture/race cards” will find out the hard way one day.
Re: “They have INTENTIONALLY flooded our country with illegal aliens.”
Just half the problem.
A majority of Republican voters enthusiastically support flooding the country with LEGAL immigrants - currently 1.25 million per year.
Since new immigrant citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party, I keep hoping someone will explain this utterly deranged political behavior.
Oh, now VDH wants to walk back his calumny in participating in the HateTrump issue of NR.
pffft.
Maybe he got over it, unlike you Trump cultists
Aw, you missed me since yesterday! <3
A company I used to work for, had a production line in Mexico.
For those that went down there to troubleshoot, they were told in very explicit terms, that if they were to get into an accident, to haul ass home and let legal deal with it.
“Our government, BOTH parties, have been refusing to enforce the laws against fraudulently documented foreigners.”
Obama just continued the policies of Amnesty George.
