Thomas Sowell weighs in on the Illegal immigration Mexican Invader issue with his always eridite comments.

One comment that I found most interesting was:

"The real question is what we do with whatever illegal aliens we do find. Right now, there are various communities around the country where local officials have a policy of forbidding the police from reporting illegal immigrants to federal authorities."

"Why are people who are so gung ho for punishing employers so utterly silent about needing to punish government officials who openly and deliberately violate federal laws?"

Mr. Sowell is correct when he asserts that businesses can not be expected to determine whether or not employment eligibility documents are forged or not; and when the local government officials,in effect, ignore the law when they DO find such illegalities, just how much approbation can we direct towards the businesses?

EVERY elected official makes a solemn oath to uphold the laws of their jurisdiction and of the nation, when they blatently ignore this responsibility, they have become criminals themselves.

This issue is one of the greatest tests our nation has ever faced; and in my (never humble) opinion, at present we are failing miserably. The blame falls in the end on US; this is supposed to be a government OF and BY the people, we get the government WE allow, and WE have allowed this issue to progress to the point where it almost seems insurmountable. We'd better wake up and take action soon, or we will find ourselves lost in a morass that we may never emerge from.
