This is a straw-man setup article from the beginning. Labeling people who cross our borders illegally as “immigrants” is an asinine premise on it’s face. “Immigrants” LEGALLY apply to come in and become citizens of a country. “illegals” wrongly walk in and steal what isn’t theirs (just as any common thief does) by taking social services, medical services, and untaxed money from a society they have no LEGAL right to claim. Simply walking over our southern border doesn’t bestow some false nobility, refugee status, or rights to any of America’s resources – illegals are criminals. They have no right to ask anything from our country because they came in illegally as their first move. Trying to paint these people as some “immigrant” class is idiotic. The rules are crystal-clear: Come in LEGALLY and you are welcomed – come in ILLEGALLY and you should be bussed or flown back to your country immediately, or placed in prison if you’re a repeat offender. We owe these illegals nothing. Everyone knows the truth: Dem-Socialists NEED illegals because they need a permanent underclass of people totally dependent on the government for welfare and handouts (as they’ve done to blacks for decades) – and of course these people will all vote Dem-Socialist (they’re constantly trying to give illegals voting rights) to keep the handouts coming, and thus at some future tipping point illegals will out-vote natural-born American citizens. Stop this farcial idiocy about illegals being “immigrants” – they are illegals, as the term (and their actions) defines them.

Mr. Parker, I was good with your opinion piece until you said “Immigration is not a problem.” I beg to differ. Immigration accomplished properly and by the rule of law is not the major problem. However there are several issues with immigration that make it a major problem. First, the sheer numbers of immigrants has escalated over the past 75 years to huge numbers. That alone causes pressure on our ability to provide services to our own natural citizens let alone throngs of newcomers. Second, the success of America has been through immigration and assimilation, a word not used much any more but therein lies the second problem; many of the new immigrants, especially the illegal ones, refuse to assimilate. Why learn the language or laws if you don’t have to? Just turn the neighborhood, then the area, then the town into a repeat of the country we immigrated from. Therein lies the rub, whole communities resembling the mother country of immigrants instead of America. That is not what made America strong.

The third problem is the lack of willingness of otherwise reasonable people to recognize illegal immigration, for what it is; an invasion, an attack on the nation’s systems, services and abilities to provide for our current residents. It cannot be allowed. If we are a nation of laws, then lets follow them…everyone.

Legal immigration must be reformed. Ending the visa lottery and chain migration is a must. We must have a merit based system just like Canada and Australia. I did not conflate anything.

The conflation of LEGAL immigration with ILLEGAL immigration must stop. I agree with the commentors who have pointed out that virtually no one disagrees with legal immigration.

In reply to Chari Wester.

Don’t take liberal Parker too seriously:
He’s just here to stir up common sense conservatives to keep us interested and commenting until the FBI gets around to dropping some indictments on a few other of the more interesting usual suspects like Gillum and some Commisioners.
Thank you Mr. Parker.

Illegal immigration is no false flag. It is a burden on an overburdened middle and working classes. Both legal immigration and illegal immigration must be reformed and stopped. You mention health care Mr. Parker. Please tell us how illegal immigration, and legal immigration is a benefit to our health care that already has major issues?

No citizen from another country has the right to come to the United States illegally. Mr. Parker should read a speech that Dr. Otmar Edenhofer, a German economist, gave to the U.N. about 12 or so years ago, where he clearly indicated that climate change policy was not about saving the planet. It is about de facto redistribution of the world’s wealth. (His words…not my opinion based on his words)

In reply to Vernon. Thank you for reading. Besides the labeling, you make some interesting points.
