Just when is illegal, illegal?

I don’t know about you, but our neighbors to the South are beginning to worry me. We are hearing of many murders along our USA/Mex border.

I understand very well why anyone in Mexico would like to live in the USA. Living conditions at their worst are better than the average living conditions south of the border. After visiting there I told Sherry, “They would be sending me back across that border every day until I made it.” But I would still be illegal and know it.

I have visited many countries (in excess of 20) and I have never felt I had the right to tell them how to run their country. So it bugs me for someone illegally in this country to try to tell the USA what laws are good and bad. Our president has no right to tell another country what laws to put into effect, and vice versa, no foreign leader has a right to tell the USA what laws are good or bad. As far as rights go, I do not think anyone here illegally has any rights under our constitution. I will readily admit they should be treated humanely as they are sent home.

While in another country (and in the USA) I have been asked for my ID. We spent the night in a motel a few days ago, they asked for picture ID. It has never bothered me to show it. Now if I was illegal it would bother the heck out of me.

I am for the new AZ law and any other that might cut down on human and drug trafficking. What I am mostly amazed at are the Political leaders who cannot understand the term ‘illegal’ and most of them are attorneys.

Every year a few terrorist are caught crossing that border. So if we are catching some, some are getting in. That is not funny to think about. There is Guilty and there is Innocent.

Reminds me of a line on Amos and Andy where Kingfish was talking to the lawyer, Calhoun.
“You gotta defend me, I ain’t guilty!” KingFish.
“I don’t know if I can king fish, you say you are innocent?”
“Shore am, innocent as a new born baby!”
“I don’t know kingfish, I ain’t never defended an innocent man before!”

The murders on the border are increasing from fights between the rival drug lords. So let’s close the border, except for well protected check points.

The rules are there in every country I have been to, cross at authorized check points, and it everything is in order they have no problem with you coming to visit.

This is the Independence Season. WE have millions that have fought for us to have this freedom. Let’s remember them at this time of the year.
