Why All the Fuss? The wrangling over the term illegal alien goes beyond whether particular words are proper to use. Underlying the “new speak” by defenders of illegal aliens is the question of whether the United States will remain a sovereign, independent nation, governed by the rule of law and subject to constitutional constraints. U.S. immigration laws were enacted by Congress. The Executive Branch has the responsibility to enforce them, not to implement them as the President sees fit. Those who deny that immigration laws are binding are declaring that there should be inequality under the law, where some groups are not only immune from compliance but should benefit from their offense. ++++++Under attack is the very foundation of this republic as a nation established on the principle of respect for the law, as is the right to self-determination of the American people. A fundamental principle of sovereignty is that the people of any country have the absolute right to defend their borders and to admit or deny admittance to others according to their discretion and laws. It is not extremist, racist, or anti-immigrant for Americans to expect their national borders to be secure and that those who violate immigration laws are held accountable.
