In response to the Sept. 12 article “Immigrants rally at Capitol” by Pratha Muthiah:

Illegal alien apologist Jorge Carrera, who says enforcing our immigration laws represents “repression” of the people, displays the arrogance and disrespect that is commonplace among those who demand “respect and dignity” but show neither for our laws and the sovereignty of the American people.

If he is looking for someone to blame for “tearing apart” families, he only has to look at illegals themselves, who put their family members in harm’s way when they made the decision to enter this country in violation of the law.

People who are here illegally belong back in their own countries, where they should be demanding that their own governments act responsibly and begin providing for the well-being of their own people. Nobody has the “right” to come here, and our government is under no obligation to let them in. This is true of all sovereign nations.
