Illegal Immigrant Children

Open Fax to Rep. Michael McCall:

Dear Rep. McCall,

          I read your statement concerning the influx of illegal immigrant children at our southern borders.

          I am pleased to suggest that you appear to be generally on the right track in handling the problem. However, I suggest more specifics.

          Any new attempts at entry by illegal immigrant children at the southern border should be immediately declined. Don’t let them in! For those who may be confused, this is not a humanitarian problem. Since these children have been able to come from their homes in Central America, they are obviously not starving, in medical debilitation or showing evidence of having been physically abused in their home countries. Just deny them entrance! As soon as you allow them to cross the border and enter into a detention facility, we are faced with tremendous problems of being physically unable to contact their families, with justification that the families are legitimate, or expect to handle any legal problems in court. I repeat, do not let them in!

          Those that have already entered and are in detention facilities, they should be rounded up, put on available school buses and driven back to their home countries. This will require transit visas through Mexico. The Mexican government will be obligated to supply such bases, since it is only the reverse of how they arrived at our southern borders in the first place. If the Mexican government denies transit visas, it should be highly publicized that the Mexican government has been instrumental in attacking our southern borders. Under those conditions, give up the transit by bus program and fly them to their home countries, bypassing Mexican airspace if necessary.

          Notice that I don’t want to confuse the issue by engaging in other aspects of a discussion. All of that is an important. Illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants and should not be allowed to enter or stay in the US, if they have already entered. Forget subsequent needs for their education, the fact that they may grow up to be Democratic voters, etc. Concentrate only on the fact that we do not allow immigrants to enter into this country illegally, no matter what their ages.
