This dilemma at the United States southern border has gone on long enough. Increased and unchecked immigration is damaging our country in too many ways to mention.
And where are our illustrious senators and representatives in all of this? I scan the newspapers and watch television and the internet every day, and I see no comments or solutions from any of our congressional congregation from Utah.
We need representatives who are willing to take the forefront into passing legislation in Congress that puts strict limits on those wanting to immigrate into the USA, for any reason, especially those seeking asylum.
The legislation should read like this, “Those seeking asylum must first apply for asylum in the U.S. and then return to their own country or wait in Mexico until which time their case in court is to be heard and approved.”
See, congressmen from Utah, I’m not even a lawyer and I can write this. Why can’t you?
