It seems so many politicians and pundits and reporters are purposefully misrepresenting what’s going on at the US-Mexico border.
They keep talking about the immigration issue.
(In case you didn’t miss it in that sentence, illegal does not appear between the and immigration.)
Personally, I’m all for immigration and all against crime.
When reporters, pundits, and (especially) politicians refuse to make a clear distinction between legal immigration and illegal entry, my level of trust in them overall goes down even further.
Not that I expect them to care, but that’s a different subject.
Now a note to the politicians yakking away in DC about this plan and that: If current laws aren’t being enforced (penalties against illegal entrants; penalties against those who employ them; etc.), what’s the use of writing up another set of laws?
Oh well.
As a parent, there is a question much closer to home and much more applicable to me.
How do I do in enforcing the “laws” I have in my home?
Ah me. Now there’s a tough one. I think I would rather harp on the illegal immigration issue. 🙂
