My grandfather and grandmother came here as a young couple through Ellis Island, as did many of yours, I'm sure. My grandfather worked his "you know what" off to move to the USA with his wife to start a new life here. For that, I am proud.
I am also proud we have the label as the world's melting pot. I see so many families immigrating to our country every year to start a new life for their family and family's descendants.
BUT, I am disappointed to see, especially at this volatile time of war, illegal aliens coming here. They work here without the government's knowledge, don't pay income taxes, and often send all the money back to their country. For all we know, any nameless worker could easily turn out to be a terrorist.
Now I ask you, WHY would anyone support these people to come here and do this?
And for the record, every single advanced country has some sort of borders policy. Whether or not it is enforced efficiently is the only question.
