It is Called The Rule of Law.

I have read several letters to the editor recently that have bashed President Trump and the conservatives for their stand against illegal immigrants. There should be no problem with anyone rebutting articles in the local paper or a blog.  The problem is in some cases not one of the rebuttals are based on anything the letter to the editor was about, for example, the immigration problem.
The main problem is the rule of law. People who come to this country illegally are breaking the law. It makes no difference what country they are from. There is no way around that issue and there are no free passes. The law is being broken. If people will break the law to come to this country what will stop them from breaking any other law? There must be a limit to what a person can do when they come to this country. Coming here illegally is not one of them.
Most Americans, conservatives or liberals, have no problem with anyone coming to this country legally. They deserve their chance at the American way and to become Americans.  Most immigrants who come here legally are good workers and very seldom break the law. We all agree with that. There are people all over this world who have come to America and became a part of the American dream. Where the line is drawn is when it is illegal.
One thing I cannot understand is people will come to this country because they say their country is bad in all respects no matter what the problem is, but yet when they get here some will wave the flag of their country while burning the American flag and complaining about America.  No matter if you are an immigrant or a citizen who was born and raised here you must obey the rule of law.
