A nation which fails to secure its borders, degrades its sovereignty. Every illegal immigrant in our free country is symbolic of our lack of respect for our own sovereignty.
I am not against immigration:
"…Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" [Lazarus, 1883]
I am against ILLEGAL immigration… a disregard for the laws of the infected country… already an admission of disrespect for the land of opportunity. This is tantamount to saying, “If you are so stupid as to leave your borders unguarded… I have right to exploit your economy and plunder your bounty.”
And we, the voters, have indeed squandered our sovereignty.
