Sunday columnist properly described immigration problem

I want to congratulate Joe Konopka for his column on Sunday regarding illegal immigrants. He gets right to the heart of the problem.

We in the United States have to many people who do not believe that laws should be obeyed. It is OK to sneak into the United States from some other country, but we shouldn’t try and catch these folks because they might not trust the police.

If someone is here illegally and has not claimed political asylum, they should be deported immediately. I don’t know where the concept came from that illegal immigrants have the same right as United State citizens.

Try that in Mexico, France or other countries if you as a U. S. citizen are caught there illegally. Keep up the good work, Joe, we need more columnists like you.
