On this July 4th, the country would be better served to NOT focus on WHO is to blame for the immigration mess we are in, but to focus on a fix. It all comes down to obeying the laws. I welcome all and want to help them but it must be done legally and with commitment. There is pain and suffering all over the world, not just at our borders. I love our country and thank God daily for our freedom. We cannot continue to take care of those who do not choose to take care of themselves, pay taxes and follow our laws. God bless America….land of the free and home of the brave.

Amen. You speak well in the 2 C’S…Caring and Common Sense.
I am surprised by your comments. You say “I welcome all and want to help but it must be done legally.” Later you imply that the migrants “do not choose to take care of themselves, pay taxes and follow our law.” But the US offers LEGAL asylum to those with legitimate reasons to flee. And they certainly do take care of themselves by undergoing difficult journeys to protect their children from the horrors they are fleeing in Central America. Also, they haven’t yet had a chance to “pay taxes and follow our laws”– they are still in detention when they arrive. So your comments do seem quite insensitive to their plight.
There are pathways set up for them to follow. Pathways to entering the US legally. The pathways must be followed. They cannot be allowed to continue to sneak Into this country any more than they would be allowed to sneak into your house without ringing your doorbell and asking your permission to enter. I did not post this to start a debate. The law is the law. No arguing with that. I am a law abiding citizen and trust you are as well.
Yeah look at what happened to the true (native) Americans when boat loads of illegals from Europe came here.
I am in complete agreement. Why don’t the left wingers get it. These people must follow the law. No one wants children separated. Neither does President Trump. Stop bitching and use your common sense
Totally agree with you P. White
Right on, P White. You are so correct. I also agree with you.
