There are some who still deny that we have a crisis on our southern border. That is delusional. There are those who tend to assert that the numbers of people seeking illegal entry into the United States is negligible. Some have even attempted to make light of the situation, such as a former U.S. President. I believe it is time to cast aside emotions and ideological agendas and look at the situation with illegal immigration in America objectively.
Yes, we can say that America is a nation of immigrants, but we must caveat that by saying we are a nation of legal immigrants. If we now believe that the United States is just a place to walk into, or become a citizen because of a lottery, we lose the very essence of who we are.
