twitterLetter: Protesting for rights of lawbreakers is wrong
Monday, May 1, 2006 | 7:25 a.m.
Demonstrating for the rights of illegal immigrants is the same as demonstrating for the rights of lawbreakers. What part of illegal don't these demonstrators understand?
Illegal immigrants don't have any rights - they don't belong here. They've broken the federal laws that protect Americans and our country by entering the U.S. without proper, lawful means and documentation. They're invading and trespassing on our sovereignty. By their own actions they don't have the "right" to be here, let alone work, drive or use facilities and public services paid by us taxpayers.
Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, just because they've been living here for some time, is akin to giving amnesty to criminals because they haven't been caught!
Illegal immigrants must be made to pay for their illegal actions and then earn their way to stay here, if they can pass through legal channels and within authorized immigration quotas.
