If They Can Do It

We can too. Today Police in Italy announced the arrest of hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants. Italian Police arrested 383 people including 268 foreigners, with 53 immediately taken to the border for expulsion. Now that's how you do it. These arrests are part of an overall strategy to get tough on illegal immigrants, blamed by many for crime. Italy is also drafting new laws to screen immigrants and jail or expel those breaking the law. Here in America, the illegal immigration issue is sure to heat up again during the fall elections. Now America is a Nation of immigrants, and I think most of us would support legal immigration. That's what the majority of Americans are asking for, control of our borders, not necessarily closing them for good. Italy is an example of a Country protecting their sovereignty by exercising control over it's borders. Why do some Americans see this as a bad thing? One Italian official said; "This operation against illegal immigrants is good because , it's what people want. They ask us for security and we have to give it to them." What a concept the people electing a Government to represent the will of the people and provide them with security. Do you think that kind of Government would work here in The United States? Sounds familiar....let me see....We The People.....or something like that.
