Dear editor;
In times of crisis, four presidents ordered the closure of our borders. The 9-11 terrorists entered our country illegally by using forged passports. One can only wonder how many terrorists or criminals could be embedded among the illegal immigrants. Resources of our border towns have been taxed beyond catastrophic proportions.
Article 1 of the Constitution guarantees the states the sovereign power to repel an invasion and defend against imminent danger. The illegal immigrants might be likened to “unarmed invaders”. With millions of apprehended illegals, the president should exemplify his predecessors and empower border states with the authority and resources to defend themselves.
