| U.S. border's must be secure before reform can happen |
There is a one thousand page immigration bill working its
way through the U.S. Senate. Buried in those many pages is vague wording that “some
day” our borders will be secure….We promise.
We have already seen how this current administration
respects our immigration laws, by issuing executive & stand down orders to
bypass current law that it doesn’t agree with.
So what will be any different if after amnesty is granted to
11 million illegals, that this administration or the next one will decide to
leave the borders alone and unsecured?
We have billions of dollars in illegal drugs being shipped
in through our southern border AND it can be crossed at will by anyone that
wants to pay a “coyote” to guide them in, or in many places, just walk in.
Of course our borders are pierced illegally in other ways as
well, like over staying visas, coming in through the northern border and by
ship along our coasts.
But the visible symbol of being serious about illegal immigration
is the securing of our porous southern border. Until that border is secure, it
is a slap in the face to all American citizens that an immigration bill is even
being considered.
The politicians can promise all they want, but we’ve been
down this road before.
When it comes to immigration reform, Americans want their
borders secured first before anything else on immigration is deployed.
Just like President Reagan said: Trust….But verify
