I'm getting sick of the open borders proponents who always seem to compare the violation of immigration laws with speeding. Immigration law can be very complicated and in some cases, returning to the country after being deported is classified as a felony.

Unfortunately, the various organization which advocate for illegal aliens include these violent felons underneath their umbrella of compassion.

With all of the FLDS stories in the news lately, the Deseret News missed out on a huge story from Idaho where an illegal alien impregnated a 10 year old girl who just gave birth. That is much more shocking than what is happening in Texas, but I guess it's not "newsworthy" in Utah.

When you say "stealing a country" are you referring to our occupation of Iraq?

Ken Shelton, you hit the nail on the head.

"Stealing" -- So are you saying Saddam Hussein was the rightful owner of Iraq? Who did we "steal" it from?

Has the elected government asked us to leave? Have we taken anything of value from Iraq, or have we spent money trying to build a functioning democracy there?

Thomas,

As one who has served in Iraq, I think you need to go judge the situation for yourself. I know if I told you how I saw it, you probably wouldnt believe me. So please visit your closest recruiter and put on a uniform.

Hope to see you there soon
