Illegal Immigration

 Enforce Our Immigration Laws

 “Illegal immigration is about respect – respect for our laws, our society, our sovereignty, and us.” – Roger Thoney

The issue underlying illegal immigration is respect for our laws, our society, our sovereignty, and us.  Illegal entry shows a blatant disregard and disrespect for us.  Do we really want such people as guests?  Would you invite someone to stay in your home who does not respect your authority?  Disrespect for the laws of Mexico has made it a very violent country.  Do we want that here?  Laws are only words on paper and mean nothing unless people respect them.

Does it make sense to import workers while able-bodied Americans are unemployed or collect welfare?  If such Americans were employed, then they could enjoy a better quality of life.  Spending on social programs would be less and taxes lower.  More money would be available to fund education and help those who are disabled.  Americans should come first.

We cannot feed, house, and educate the entire world, so limits must be established.  Every sovereign nation does this.  Our immigration laws establish our limits.  We should enforce our immigration laws; and, instead of running away and weakening any movement for improvement in their home countries, illegal immigrants should return home and work to improve living conditions there.
