Being a person like Mr. Ben Castillo I like to ask questions, but I would much prefer answering his of Feb 3. Here are the answers for his concerns about immigration.
1. We derive the same good that America has received from immigrants for nearly 250 years. Future loyal citizens, talent and people willing to take jobs that our affluent workers turn down.
2. How much immigration is too much? There are never too much of the good things mentioned above.
3. Those vilifying our governor wouldn’t stop because New York’s activities are caused by Gov. Abbott’s immoral and spiteful actions that deserve that vilification.
4. An argument for justification is not needed since we advertise our openness and moral responsibility to the world when America says, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”
Yes, Mr. Castillo, we need working immigration laws. The ones we have have been broken for at least 70 years and no administration has taken adequate action to improve them until now.
Now, one question for you: Please write back with an answer. How have these immigrants, illegal though they may be, negatively affected you or your friends? Do you now not have enough food, clothing, a roof over your head, a second flat-screen TV? Do you lie awake at night fearful of being kidnapped and killed? I think not.

Why have
borders?
Open borders have let into our nation drugs — lots of drugs — human trafficking, children for sexual exploitation, criminals, gangs, cartels, anti-American rabble, and yes, the poor wanting a better life just as in the early days of our nation when we were not yet a country.
Why do we have borders? It all is Biblical, friends. Think of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel as one source. There was something so evil in that story that God really down plays it. But God confused their language so they could not understand one another and drifted apart.
What difference did Jesus make? He died to confound the dirty devil and He did! Our enemy was out to snare us trying to offend God. He was jealous of our Creator. All worship went through Satan’s pipes and he decided he would keep it for himself. Thus began the fallen angels and their corruption and visit in the garden with Eve. God put Adam and Eve out of Eden and created the first borders — “You cannot come back in” — and He placed angels to guard the entrance.
I drive occasionally on Jaime Zapata Street in Brownsville. Who remembers his tragic death? Do the men and women endeavoring to keep us safe from the invasion deserve to die? The innocent who pay great sums to be helped along the way are a smokescreen for or child traffickers and drug lords.
My hope is that the good people who come to this nation may be street educated to the point that they desire to go back to their country of origin, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer when he returned to Hitler’s Germany. Going back to labor for righteousness and justice against criminal behavior will make our world a better place, just as we U.S. citizens must labor against and stop tolerating crime here in our cities, states and nation.
Let us pray for revival, a God intervention, to stop this chaos. A turnaround to the Truth, whose name is Jesus. He is the answer for the world today. Above Him there is no other. Jesus is the Way.
