Yes, I know we must protect our borders, especially at a time of legitimate threats to our security; yes, I realize that there must be laws to monitor the flow of immigrants to our country; yes, I admit there are some among the immigrants -- very few though they may be -- who are less than responsible neighbors; yes, I acknowledge we need immigration reform, and pray for our elected officials who must craft it.
When he says "monitor" does that include "limit"? Not that I can tell.
I am glad that our political leaders want to repair a broken immigration system, but we need reform, not just more drastic law enforcement. Promising reform -- such as earned legalization, temporary worker programs, and reduction in family visa backlogs -- would all be so beneficial.
To use the term "less than responsible neighbors" about outright rapists and murderers is too kind by MORE than half.
