Using common sense and logic based on Western civilization's morals, ethics, and cultural norms it is imperative that the United States of America become united in support of being a sovereign nation that has borders as well as over 200 years worth of legislation that is incredibly simple.

However, let's examine why we are even debating this hot-bed of an issue. All things being equal, the U.S. could handle a reasonable amount of legal immigration annually. Moreover, if the U.S. simply stuck to the laws that various Congresses have legislated, it is even conceivable that seasonal or guest workers could be let into our country on a rigid but accountable basis.

We, the American people should never lose sight that from the beginning we have been a nation of laws. The very philosophic nature of the U.S. Constitution is the quintessential means which lay the foundation for daily living as a free and secure nation. We should also remember that those laws were enacted for our protection.

Unfortunately when the enactment of the law is completely ignored by just about every department, agency, and individual charged with upholding that law the consequences of such lackadaisical enforcement are horrendous. In 1986 the United States allowed and granted amnesty to just over 2 million illegal aliens residing in the country.

According to Edwin Meese, former Attorney General in the Ronald Reagan administration, this act was supposed to stop people from south of America’s border from mass illegal immigration and at the same time try and get control of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) backlog of visa requests.

Not surprisingly, the INS was just about completely corrupt. Minor field agents to those in supervisory positions were literally on the take for money. In other words, illegal entry could be bought readily and if the terms were right, the documents could be mailed to the visa applicant. Therefore the very purpose of this debate stems from the highest echelons within the federal government through Congress, through the Justice and State departments, and off then to the special interest groups who have been so helpful in securing the illegal alien population within this country.

Therefore first and mentioned in previous discourse, illegal aliens should be arrested and processed while waiting for a representative for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to come and literally by way of deportation, put these people back where they came
