It is very hypocritical of the Mexican government to protest American efforts to combat illegal immigration. Any number of Hispanic nationalists and ethnocentrists can be counted on to be upset at the U. S. when it comes to laws designed to deport illegal immigrants, but what is regularly missing in such outrage is commonsense and some basic human decency.

It is common sense for a country to be in a position to control its borders and decide whom to confess and who should stay. Mexico, for example, actually imprisons its illegal immigrants, from much more impoverished nations on its southern border like Guatemala and Honduras. The U. S. , by contrast, simply deports those not convicted of any crimes. Yet the pro-illegal immigration crowd always likes to bring up the red herring of civil and human rights.

Nobody is fooled by such diversionary rhetoric. The simple fact of the case is that if it were illegal immigrants from non-hispanic states, there would be no great outcry. The biggest contingency by a long way that supports illegal immigration in the shape of amnesty for illegal immigrants already here in the US are, in fact , hispanic. Actually it is not rare to see such protesters customarily wave the flags of other countries during their demonstrations in an indicator that American laws and values aren’t paramount to their cause.

It’s correct that America is a nation of immigrants. It’s correct that for centuries there weren’t any border control agencies governing immigration and residency. But over 40 years after the landmark reforms of 1965 opening the floodgates to immigration from all over the world, with a preference for non-European states by way of addressing past immigration policy injustices, enough is enough.

Illegal immigrants overmaster social services, everything from welfare to MedicAid and MediCare. The faculties are overwhelmed, the prisons are overwhelmed, and the country should allow a time period for all of the new arrivals to be properly soaked up and assimilated, which process can’t happen with the continuous influx that is still underway.
