America hardly needs a repeat of amnesty fiasco, by D.A. King, Chattanooga Times Free Press, April 18, 2010
There is no universal civil right to live and work in the United States. Immigration laws and borders are not human rights violations. Traditional levels of immigration were set to allow about 250,000 immigrants into the United States each year if they could demonstrate that they would not become a "public charge" and would benefit the national interest.
Inconvenient detail: Immigration into the United States is not and never was intended to serve as a relief valve to benefit any other country.
