Follow the law, deport scofflaws

I want to thank The Herald opinion page for printing the Debra J. Saunders column, “Reporter without visa at the border,” exposing the lack of law enforcement for illegal immigrant(s). Thank you to Saunders, the writer, for not celebrating illegal immigration. People should take a moment to contemplate the number of illegal children unaccompanied by an adult who have illegally crossed our southern border in recent months. That’s more than stadiums can hold and more are on the way to the U.S. It is a crisis that was caused by the Obama administration and compassionate Democrats (looking for votes?)

We need to enforce the laws on the books and start deporting these people. If not, it will create a massive debt for all classes and our low-skilled Americans will have even more trouble finding jobs. The U.S. just doesn’t have the resources to support all the world’s poor people. I know many are still flying into the U.S. to have “anchor” babies. The peaceful majority should stop and take a look at what it will cost them down the road.
