Let’s get something straight, I keep hearing people act like illegal immigrants haven’t committed a crime. That somehow, just walking across the desert into this country should come with sympathy and not consequences. Well, I’ve got news for you: if you sneak across the border and don’t go through a port of entry, you’ve broken the law. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact.

We’ve got laws in this country, and like it or not, entering the U.S. without permission is a federal crime. It’s right there in the books under 8 U.S.C. § 1325. If I committed a crime and got arrested, you better believe I’d be separated from my family during the process, so why should it be any different for someone who broke the law just because they did it at the border?

If you want to come to America, do it legally. Go through the port of entry. Fill out the paperwork. Wait your turn. That’s what immigrants before did. That’s what we should expect today. I’m not against immigration; I’m for legal immigration. There’s a difference, and it matters.

Now, before anyone starts yelling about Trump and due process, pump the brakes. You’ve got President Clinton and the Democrats to thank for the tough rules you’re complaining about. Back in 1996, Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, along with the Immigrant Responsibility Act. These laws created something called expedited removal, which lets certain people be deported without a court hearing. And guess what? Democrats overwhelmingly supported it at the time.

So, when you see immigration enforcement today, that’s not some rogue move. That’s the law on the books, passed legally and supported by both parties. Don’t like it? Fine. But fight it the right way. Change the law, don’t just scream in the streets and pretend it doesn’t exist.

And to all those immigrants who did it the right way, welcome. You followed the rules, and you deserve respect. But for everyone else who broke the law to get here? You don’t get a free pass just because the topic makes people uncomfortable. If laws don’t matter at the border, do they matter anywhere?

It’s real simple: obey the law or face the consequences. That applies to all of us, citizen or not.

That’s my rant

Thank You
