They Have Rights Back Home

The New York Times, in a Page 1 article wrote,

"In rallies that appeared to be exceeding the expectations of organizers and the police, hundreds of thousands of immigrants and their supporters marched today in more than 100 cities throughout the country, casting off the old fears of their illegal status to assert that they have a right to a humane life in this country."

I beg to disagree.

Illegal immigrants to the United States have a right to a humane life in their own country. They have no rights in the country they, admittedly, have entered illegally. The only right they have here is to be deported.

Imagine this, if you will. You, an American citizen, slipped into Germany with no visa, no papers, no nothing. You stand at the Brandenburg Gate beating your chest and demanding your rights as an illegal entrant into Germany.

How long do you think it would take before you were in a jail cell?

How much longer before you were on your way back home?

Is America crazy, or what?

During these huge rallies were are the Immigration and Naturalization officers? Seems to me the pickings would be pretty good, or maybe these officers are sworn only to enforce some of the immigration laws.

I repeat. Is America crazy, or what?

Stay tuned for the next episode of Immigration Loony Tunes.
