To The Daily Sun,
Professor Cracraft made his emotional case for open borders, basically blaming prevention of such on President Trump and all others who want to adhere to the rules of law that exist pertaining to immigration.
Immigration laws are basic to virtually every sovereign nation and are enforced routinely. For those who would like to review the migration issue dispassionately, here are two links that will provide a bit of un-emotional clarity. The first is a Roy Beck Video that illustrates the immigration generosity of the United States. It can be found at this site: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE).
This next link is to an article in the National Review that provides a factual account of the border situation:(www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/illegal-immigration-enforcement-separating-kids-at-border/).
I don’t believe there is any argument that our immigration laws need to be re-thought and re-written. The problem is that Speaker Pelosi and the House of Representative Democrats don’t want a solution to the problem, they want an issue they can use to flog the president. For two years, the president has been asking for a re-write of the laws . . . perhaps Cracraft can use his professorial influence to convince his fellow Democrats to act for the good of our country.

The current migration at our border is costing taxpayers a Kings ransom ($17,000 per day ABC news.) Fleeing persecution? or fleeing for freebies? they sure don't stay in Mexico when they reach "safety" or ask or offered political asylum in Mexico. Why? because Mexico will give them NOTHING. So they make the long journey to our border, our generous Democrats, and our tax dollars. We have Democrat / Socialist / Activists in the Northern Triangle of South America & Mexico; even as you read this instructing the populations to make sure you bring your children and use the the magic words....."credible fear." Mexico recently arrested two socialist activists who were instrumental in the organizing of prior caravans, Then you have a Democrat House saying the crisis is "manufactured" as literally thousands attack our border daily? The crisis IS manufactured...by the Democrats themselves. Make no mistake about this, Democrats want this to happen and never stop. They will with hold border security support allowing as many illegal aliens to enter the country as possible overwhelming our BP & ICE before assisting in border security (if ever.) To Democrats/Socialists programs like Temporary Protective Status (TPS) or Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals (DACA) are permanent programs. There is nothing "temporary or deferred" about these programs to Democrats. These programs are designed to admit refugees (usually from the third world) then Democrats fight to keep them here permanently using the charge of racism, religion, guilt, against anyone opposed. Simple formula works great.
