Legal immigrants have provided much to our country, and I support such immigration. The illegal immigrants pouring over our national border create sympathy but are in violation of the integrity of our immigration laws.
Someone named Ben Sales (JTA reporter) advocates protests at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and promotes his ideas beginning on page 1 of the KC Jewish Chronicle of July 18, 2019. Sales encourages various misdirected individuals to join in protests against ICE. Does Sales address all immigrants or only those who enter illegally?
Here’s the rundown on alleged ICE arrests 2017/2018, compiled from Fox News:
Assault — 99,207
Larceny — 40,596
Burglary — 25,499
Sexual assault — 10,468
Robbery — 11,177
Kidnapping — 4,112
Homicides — 3,914
Meanwhile the Democrats in the House of Representatives are playing their political games. The problem at the southern border could be resolved if the Democrats in the House of Representatives would serve the best interests of America rather than those of their political party.
