No Human is Illegal ... Although they do commit illegal acts

No Human is Illegal ... well, no shit.  Apparently those who decided to include this particular phrase on the sign have a distaste for the way we usually identify criminal acts - they are illegal.  And those who would enter our country unlawfully are, in fact, committing an illegal act.  Murder is illegal.  Rape is illegal.  Burglary is illegal.  Carrying a concealed handgun without a permit is illegal.  And, likewise, entering our country unlawfully is also illegal.

Why do those who claim that "no human is illegal" have such disdain for our immigration laws?  If they don't like them, there is a course of action that can be taken to change the laws.  But to simply not enforce existing laws or, to enforce them in an arbitrary and capricious manner, would be far worse.  Should we have two (or more) sets of rules for each law?  Well, if you're tall, thin, and have dark hair we'll let you in.  Otherwise, forget it.  If you're from a shithole country, come on in.  If you're from Canada - whoa, better close the border!

There's very little that the federal government does that couldn't stand a little reform.  Immigration laws are no different.  But we - the people of the United States working through our elective representatives - get to determine who should be admitted to our country.  We've been charitable for too long to the rest of the world.  While we are a nation of immigrants (unless, of course, you're descended from people who were here before we were a country), immigration policy - like all policy - should benefit the country as a whole.  Allowing unfettered immigration of poorly educated, low skilled, and financially destitute individuals does nothing to benefit the country.  It strains public services, packs our schools with children who don't speak English, and takes jobs away from those already here that are at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder.  Those most hurt by these undocumented immigrants are those that are already in peril - and the vast majority of them are minorities.  So, if Black Lives REALLY Matter, then we should have strongly enforced immigration laws.  That's the best way to ensure economic opportunities are provided to those Blacks who are in economic peril.
