Two More Immigration Pieces

I left out a couple good pieces, with last night’s round-up. First of all, Random Yak has a post up that points out the irony of yesterday being Law day.

The perfect day for the illegal immigrant population of the United States to demonstrate its attitude toward our nation and its laws – by walking off the job, out of the stores and otherwise attempting to hold our nation hostage by withdrawing from the marketplace.

Permit me to make my position clear. Welcome to The United States Sandbox. Just about everyone is welcome, provided you agree to play by the rules:

Bryan Fischer has a thoughtful paper on his website. I’ll talk about a little bit more later on today, but he had one paragraph in there that really stood out to me:

Here are some proposed solutions to bring compassion into balance with justice. First, we should secure our borders. We do not lack the resources, the manpower, or the technology to do this. We lack only the will. Building a wall – whether the electronic kind or the brick and mortar kind – to protect our border is the polar opposite of the Berlin Wall. As Charles Krauthammer says, a wall built to keep people in is a prison; a wall to keep people out is an expression of national sovereignty.

A mental hospital once devised a simple test to measure the sanity of its patients. The staff would turn on the faucets in the shower room, then give patients a mop and bucket with instructions to clean up the water. Only those who turned off the tap first, before mopping up the mess, were considered sane enough for the real world. So a rational immigration policy dictates that we secure our borders as a first priority before we figure out how to clean up the mess created by an unchecked tide of illegal immigration.

So how sane are we? More on this great article tonight.
