My previous BLOG entry was about the illegal entry of other nationalities into this country. Most recently in my life I completed a 13 months study course in law. This is not a promotion of my business. This is a discussion of American law. I was struck by the overwhelming amount of legal decisions handed down by our courts. For those of you not familiar with this field, I want to tell you that our nation has a very complex but very thorough legal system. Literally volumes of ruling exist for every state. There are businesses that earn their income by collecting and documenting all the rulings in this country. We are a nation of laws and ruling on the meanings of those laws.
People entering our country illegally are breaking our laws. They are here in the US illegally. They have no legal right to be here. When they demonstrate about their rights, they are complaining that they have no legal rights.
Illegal aliens do have one right. They have the right to be heard in a court of law. It’s the same right of a burglar. He has the right to defend himself in court. We go even farther than many countries because we say that the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
It’s all in the laws that are appealable to the highest court in our country. Everyone, by law, is subject to the same laws including the president of the United States and all of the people working in our government.
The citizens of Iraq and Mexico do not understand our system of government and I doubt they ever will.
