Immigration issues

I can agree with what most of the article “Biblical principles important for law on immigration” in the June 7 issue of The Alabama Baptist says. 

What I can’t agree on is giving amnesty to lawbreakers, and that is exactly what this legislation does. 

The article also laments about breaking families up. I don’t know the number that is already broken up because they still reside outside the country while the husband works here and sends money home. 

Also I cannot buy the argument about breaking families up when that was not a concern for the immigrants who legally entered this country through Ellis Island years ago. 

If a family member had a communicable disease, they were sent back home. 

How many families were broken up that way or does nobody care?  

I don’t believe most people are against immigration as they are against illegal immigration, which also then becomes a matter of national security.
