Take care of those who obey our nation's laws

Posted March 29, 2017 1:00 am

If we are a country of laws why is it OK to violate our immigration laws? If we don't like the immigration laws on the books then why doesn't congress change the laws?

Immigrants are welcomed just like my parents but for some reason it's OK to come into our country illegally.

Do we protect people who violate our laws? Driving 70 mph in a 50 mph zone, driving under the influence, rape, stealing. Are there sanctuary places for these people? What are you saying to those immigrants that follow the laws and become citizens? Really. I think we have mixed up our reactions.

Immigrants that follow our laws and come legally are more than welcome but those who come here illegally are violating our laws and taking our hard earned money which could help our homeless children and veterans.

No country in this world allows illegal immigrants into their country. Stop violating our laws and take care of the people who follow our laws.
