How can a land of immigrants later decide to deny the right to immigrate to the U.S.? The laws concerning the right to immigrate should be geared more towards protecting that right rather than infringing on it. While it is true that outsiders have tried to attack the U.S., that doesn’t mean we should deny people the opportunity to build a life for themselves and their families in America.…
