A Revolutionary Idea

In the news these days is the push to "fix" our "broken" immigration laws. Broken? How so?

Oh yes, I know; there are lots of innocent "dreamers" who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own and so it is unfair to deport them.

Some thoughts:

1. What is the point of changing the law? The current law is not being enforced. So why should anyone trust that a new, more favorable law for immigrants will be enforced either?

2. I reject the focus of the problem being on the "dreamers". Our focus as Americans should be, what is best for the United States?

3. It is not the fault of the United States that such "children" are here. They were brought here illegally by their parents.

4. Does anyone think that allowing this batch of illegal aliens to stay permanently will not encourage other foreigners to come and try to stay too?

5. The United States can benefit from immigrants. But they should be those we invite because they have useful skills. Every uninvited trespasser who is allowed to stay, takes the place of an invited one.
