Yesterday John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line<\/a> posted a story about a recent speech by President Obama.<\/p>\n

The article reports President Obama’s<\/a> comments in a Labor Day<\/a> speech:<\/p>\n

Cynicism<\/a> is a bad choice. Hope is the better choice. Hope is what gives us courage. Hope is what gave soldiers courage to storm a beach. Hope is what gives young people the strength to march for women\u2019s rights, and worker\u2019s rights<\/a>, and civil rights<\/a>, and voting rights<\/a>, and gay rights, and immigration rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are immigration rights? Is it the right to immigrate<\/a> to the United States<\/a> legally? If so, I support those rights. If it is the right to immigrate to the United States illegally, I would like to know where that right comes from. It certainly is not listed in the Constitution. It has been understood throughout history that a country has a right to police its borders. There is nothing hostile about enforcing borders. Not enforcing our borders increases the burden on our schools, communities, and government services. It is time to enforce our current immigration laws. If the voters decide they would like those laws changed, they can vote for representatives who will change them. It is reckless not to enforce our current laws. We are leaving ourselves vulnerable to disease, terrorism, and crime. There is a reason the border is there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
