This immigration thing needs a heaping dose of logic

Whenever this illegal immigration issue is discussed, I usually end up with a headache at the complete absence of reason and logic on the side of those supporting illegal immigrants. Sometimes when you are talking with your kids about something as the discussion goes back and forth you begin to realize one thing: they don't have one good point on why you should say 'yes', you have many points on why you should say 'no' but they just WANT IT. You start to go through the process clearly and logically and they begin to get animated, their eyes bug out, they start saying things that make no sense at all. They just want you to accept their side without making the case. It is the exact same thing with the illegal immigration issue. Here are some quotes:

"I think it's just inhumane. ... Everybody deserves the right to a better life," Aloy said of the legislation.

"They're here for the American Dream," said Malissa Greer, 29, who joined a crowd estimated by police to be at least 10,000 strong. "God created all of us. He's not a God of the United States, he's a God of the world."

Just reading that starts my head aching. Notice the words all and everybody. Logically, do they think that we can accept everybody into the US? Whether or not they do, we can't. So here is the logical slo-mo:

- We can't accept all people into the US who want to come
- That means we need to accept only a portion of those who want to come
- That means it is not fair to accept disproportionate numbers from a single country
- That means the only way to ensure that too many people do not come at once and ensure the number of people to come in is fairly distributed will take a regulated and structured mechanism.
- That regulated and structured mechanism is called immigration laws
- If immigration laws are bypassed we cannot meet the goals of limited entry and fair distrubution
- If immigration laws are only on paper and not enforced gain we cannot meet the mentioned goals
- The bottom line is that enforced immigration laws are the only way to attain our goals

The United States of America is without a doubt the greatest country on earth. I am very grateful that I was born here and have been able to avail myself of the opportunities she has to offer. I wish everybody could come, but if they did this country would cease to be what all are wishing they had. I do not blame others for wanting to come here. I don't even blame them for trying to come illegally. I do blame those who are here that do not stand up to this problem. If we do not find a way to stop the flood of illegal immigration, we will cease to be great. The US became great and has continued to be great due to carefully regulated immigration. By bringing in a mixture of people of different origins and ethnicities, we retained the great melting pot. Today, some immigrants are refusing to melt and that challenges the foundations of what made the USA great.

The protesters are wrong because they are simply demanding what they want with no logical arguments to support it. In addition to the undermining of what makes this country great, illegal immigration is a threat to our national security. I think the only solution is a wall or portions of a wall along both borders. The demonstrations are simply a temper tantrum. Will the media call them on it? They have not so far.
