  A Plea to President-Elect Obama: Stop the Raids

  Let's try it a bit more eloquently than Tom put it.
  We have laws, and have long believed that we are a nation of laws.  When we do not enforce the laws that we have, we end up with results that we, as a nation, did not intend.  Enforcement of the law is as important as the law itself.  In the past few decades, immigration enforcement has become lax.  Due to this, we have large quantities of illegal immigrants in this country.  This is against the intention of our current set of laws.  Enforcing the immigration law that we have is as important as passing new immigration laws.
  
  The poster obviously has little pity for those who did not obey these laws, and believes that his livelihood and the livelihood of many Americans is threatened by communities of law-breakers.  Why should pity be given to those who steal opportunity from law-abiding citizens?
