more on immigration

Apparently people are targeting illegal immigrants for crime. The feeling is that they will not report it to the police for fear of deportation. The raison d'etre of the US government is to protect the rights of its citizens. If people are here illegally, then they do not enjoy this protection fully. Amidst all of the debate over immigration, I have heard no one argue for the restriction of immigration on these grounds. This is my biggest concern with open borders. If a significant portion of our population does not have the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, it hurts us all.
