We should always keep in mind that the U.S. President is head of the executive branch. It is the one and only branch that is responsible to execute the laws on the books made by others. Congress makes the laws. One of the laws is that no one is to illegally enter the United States for any reason. I am very open to knowing precisely what law or laws President Trump and his administration are not following, and which law or laws he should not enforce as written. Compassion is a needful thing, but if compassion means ignoring laws for many we feel for that others have been and are now being held accountable to follow, then that is not compassion. That is favoritism, foolishness and fraud. Not all of those breaking U.S. immigration laws are good people. Former Vice President Joe Biden said in the debate that the Obama administration deported three million as being supposedly those not just entering the U.S. without permission, but committing more than just just that violation of crossing our border illegally. By saying such, did Biden just admit that during the eight years of Obama/Biden they found that three million illegal immigrants they deported had committed crimes beyond illegally crossing the border? That is no small statistic. That is a big problem, a huge failure of leadership and responsibility and a travesty. Think of all the victims, both of those coming in illegally and those rightfully here in the U.S. What can justify any, whether hundreds, thousands or millions of crimes by those unlawfully here? Where is the compassion for those innocent victims of the criminals entering illegally? Does compassion only go to the ones breaking the law? It appears from statements and positions on the left that is in fact the case. Let's use our God-given minds as we wisely make use of our hearts.

Lynn, you appear to me to be a kind and thoughtful person. I don't question your genuine concerns and compassion regarding any mistreatment of anyone, including those at our southern border. I'm entirely with you on any human abuse concerns. But in the same way there must logically be the very same concerns and compassion for all of those women and children who are being brought hundreds of miles up through Mexico rather than remaining there, and in many cases forced to be drug mules and raped and abused by the criminal predators, drug lords and human traffickers who are involved. The border is in too many places without the sufficient barriers that require those coming, legitimately or not, to go through a rational process and some orderly and monitored gates. The foolish and often very public magnets that draw all of those involved in illegal immigration must also be stopped. But I must say, and I know I reflect the view of millions of others in this, something that is getting very, very old and that betrays all reason, objectivity, facts and logic is the constant claim that comes from the left that when immigration is out of control and children and adults overwhelm the financial and physical resources of border enforcement due to the failure of Congress to appropriate what is needed to address the problems, the reason MUST be because Trump and conservatives hate foreigners and immigrants. You resorted to the "hate card" in your comments. These out-of-control issues aren't in the least essentially caused by any hatred of immigrants or those from other countries by anyone in the Trump administration or otherwise. This country has throughout its history and continues to welcome and approve entry of many millions of lawful, productive and respectful immigrants from countries all over the world who benefit this country, their families and themselves. Using this "hatred card" accuses law enforcement of cold hearts and avoids the real issues involved. It is a very cheap shot. If someone came into your home without your permission and you called the police to take them away and handle them, does that mean it's because you hate the intruder? No. You would resent anyone claiming you were hateful in such a circumstance. You simply need to and want to protect what you are responsible for and have a right to control in the way that best suits you and those you love and care for. It's no different with any country. So, let's drop the all-too-easy hate motive card and let's discuss the reasonable, logical and seriously required issue of orderly immigration entry into the U.S., basic national security principles, the rule of law and due process that's required to rationally and effectively handle it all. Those issues are all essentially in the lap of Congress that makes the rules. But Congress has continually refused for these decades to lift a finger to solve the long-time growing problems they have foolishly and selfishly neglected. They can just keep saying something should be done, arguing and calling others bigots so they don't have to do the hard work of wisely governing this country through their role as legislators. It's a big spineless, self-serving cop out. It's dangerous, pathetic and outrageous. It's a clear dereliction of duty. The blame should not be diverted to crying out some political agenda or some pet theory of what must be in the heart of those like Trump who are currently despised by the left. We can like him and his approach or not, but as President he is in charge of enforcing the federal laws, providing national security for all, and protecting the nation's borders with all of the impacting ramifications. He is openly calling for trying to stop the illegal activity. Many others don't seem to care much that those activities are illegal and that nameless faceless U.S. citizens are being hurt and endangered in major ways because of it. How about some expressed concern and compassion on the left for the U.S. citizens who are in so many ways made victims through no fault of their own? I am quite sure that if a close loved one of anyone howling on the left about abuse and hatred of immigrants were to be severely injured or killed by an illegal immigrant who should not be here and who all too easily got through the border, their howling would change and would likely go in the other direction. Many hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens are personally greatly negatively affected, including injury, losses, losing their lives or those of a loved one, which is directly attributable to an unsecured and unregulated border. Does the left care about those victims? I don't hear it anywhere. In general the left's view and agenda doesn't allow for it. To many on the left it's all about hatred and abuse of immigrants. Respectfully, you, Lynn, as a public voice read in TownBroadcast have an opportunity to drop that hate-bigot card approach and take the issues on for what they are in reality.
