I am married to a legal immigrant, and mighty happy about that, but the immigration mess that has resulted from not enforcing laws on the books while Congress ignores it doesn't make a lick of sense.

I don't know where the idea came from that any person, anywhere in the world, has a right to be here if they can get here. At some point in the distant past, it might have made sense, when the US was sparsely populated and trying to develop the NA continent. That day, it seems to me, is long past and no longer desirable, if it ever was.

You say everyone ought to have the right to live in a modern prosperous democracy? Fine. Let's make Mexico one. Let's require South American countries to meet the standard. Tell the Chinese to get with it. Forget the Middle East. Those guys are remorseless savages, and deserve their own fates. No point trying to give the cat a bath.

The world population is getting to the point where people have to bloom where they are planted, or not at all.
