The Morality of ILLEGAL Immigration
My mother in law is ashamed.
She’s ashamed of Mexico and Mexicans.
She’s ashamed of Mexico for not taking care of her people.
She’s ashamed of Mexicans because of their lawless mindset and sense of entitlement.
“We waited for two years to enter this country. We waited our turn.”
My father-in-law was a mechanic and my mother-in-law, a house-wife.
America let them in.
My wife remembers getting into a new dress…her first at three years old…to cross the border into America.
My wife came with her parents, her older sister and two younger brothers.
They settled in East Los Angeles.
They went to work, they went to school.
One joined the Marines, one started a business, one works for a mortgage company. Another is a buyer for a private university, and still another works as a national sales rep.
They own homes and some are college educated.
They assimilated.
You know what they didn’t do?
They didn’t break the law and they didn’t demand special rights.
The issue of ILLEGAL may seem complicated.
It’s not.
It’s a moral issue.
Is it moral to reward lawless behavior with amnesty?
Is it moral to force philanthropy (is forced philanthropy an oxymoron)?
Is it moral to take money from people who have earned it and redistribute those resources to people who have earned no right to be in this country?
Is it moral to continue to be a political “enabler” of Mexico’s addiction to corruption?
It is not Christian, moral or right to reward lawbreakers.
