Open borders through the back door
"Americans cannot allow Trump or his administration to use or abuse children" was a 7/2 Des Moines Register Iowa View essay by Connie Ryan, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa.

Children's welfare is a weighty matter. It concerns people of all political persuasions. But national sovereignty is also a legitimate interest, and we abandon related laws at our peril.
Through much of her essay, Ryan argued that real Americans, by virtue of our citizenship and electoral reasoning, are complicit in unspeakable monstrousness. That's like blaming homeowners for burglaries.
"Only those lacking morals and a sense of decency would argue it is OK to harm children or use them as pawns to advance a political agenda," she wrote, early on.
She then did precisely that, herself.
The illegal immigration activist railed against President Trump's "agenda of detention, deportation, and expedited criminal prosecution..." She also demanded that "the administration's policy be rescinded in full." (That policy includes law enforcement and legitimate judicial involvement.) And that entire families be allowed to "remain together outside the criminal justice system as they await a decision on asylum."
Open borders by any other name...
Ryan did accurately stress that we are in a moment of national character evaluation. But her insistence that immigration laws be so diluted as to be ineffective, making easy the path to globalism, and the southern border be erased is exactly opposite the necessary course.
Instead, statutes should be reinforced, borders underscored, citizenship made definite, migration actively discouraged, and the Trump Wall built.
We owe those not only to Americans who went before and built this nation to be distinct, strong, safe, and prosperous, but to future generations who will enjoy its benefits and derive comfort from the patriotism we today fight to uphold.
