Confusion surrounds issue of illegal immigration

SIOUX CITY -- The recent Letter from the resident in Sioux Center expressing concern about Rep. Tancredo's stand on illegal immigration is just another indicator of the widespread confusion surrounding this important topic.

Maybe I can simplify the issue. Let's say you own a home. And for whatever reason you invite someone to live with you. You teach them the rules of the house, they contribute to the upkeep, pay rent and buy groceries. Now, one day you arrive home to find someone there uninvited. The house is a mess, they've eaten the food in the fridge, they don't speak your language, and you understand from their behavior they are not going to leave.

Would you then make them comfortable, clean up their mess, buy their groceries, try to learn their language, and tell your invited housemate to do the same? Or would you call the police and have them removed? -- Mark Reed
