Their choice, their problem


Andrew C. McCarthy:
Beyond that, illegal immigrants who choose to stay here take their chances.  The thing I have never understood about proposals for "comprehensive immigration reform" is the presumption that it is our obligation as Americans not only to address but to cure the illegal status of people who choose to violate our laws by entering our country illegally or overstaying their legal permission to remain here.  If you are an illegal alien in this country, that is your choice and therefore your problem, not mine. (Caveat: I am not talking about "DREAMers"; they are a comparatively small category of people who were brought here as children, whose illegal status is not their fault, and who have never known any home other than the United States.)
