Americas Home Invaders

[Geee]

American Thinker:

If someone broke into your home, would you treat him as an invited guest? Would you allow him to move in his family? Would you pay for their food, medical care, and education?

That's what we've been doing with illegal aliens in America.

But that's not how other nations deal with illegal aliens. In England, they face a $16,000 fine. In Italy, it's $14,000 and up to six months of detention. In France, it's $5,000 or up to a year of imprisonment or both.

Beyond Europe, the penalties can be even more severe. In Singapore, a jail term up to six months is accompanied by a cane whipping. In China, it's death if the offender is charged with spying.

The message is clear: Stay out unless invited.

The idea of keeping illegal aliens out is not a new one. Over 5,000 years ago, the Chinese began to build the Great Wall of China, a series of stone and earthen fortification that now stretches over 5,500 miles.

When I stood on that wall a year and half ago, I wondered why Americans could not build a 2,000 mile fence stretching the entire length of the U.S.-Mexican border when an ancient civilization had built one over twice that length.
