I’ve been rather accepting of illegal immigrants over the course of my life.

There are seven key issues that I think this country should focus on, and I’ve just never gotten that worked up about illegal immigration.

The simple fact is that everyone here in the US is either an immigrant or descended from immigrants. Like me.

What you want are educated young people who are motivated to create and work, not children as young as four or five years old who are going to need housing, education, adult supervision, healthcare, and most of all a loving environment where they can grow up.

It is one thing for undocumented workers to come across the border looking for jobs or for families to come across together.

It is a completely different matter when tens of thousands of preteen children come across the border without parents or supervision.

They didn’t get across 1500 miles of desert without significant support and a great deal of planning.

This couldn’t happen without the awareness of authorities in Mexico and the Central American countries from which all these children came, and if this is truly a surprise to Homeland Security, then there is a significant failure everywhere in the system.

And if it was not a surprise?

That begs a whole different series of ridiculous questions.

But something, as the phrase goes, is obviously rotten in Denmark.
