Dear Editor:
I just wanted to congratulate the brilliance of the police force in New Hampshire who thought of the criminal trespass as a means to an end in stopping illegal immigration (see 7/14/05 ID comment).

Dear Editor:
Is it true that the Mexican government is paying the legal bills in the illegal alien against criminal trespass charge in New Hampshire (7/14/05 ID comment)? If this is the case, although permissible, I find it to be an outrageous act on the part of the Mexican government. Our neighbor to the south is essentially paying for its own citizens to remain illegally in this country and further violate US and/or state law. I would venture to say that a one way plane ticket back to Mexico would cost the cash-strapped Mexican government less and, more importantly, not promote the law breaking of its citizens abroad. While there may be flaws in proving the actual offense of criminal trespass, this case is a direct result of not attempting to contruct secure and impregnable borders.

Dear Editor:
Recent Immigration Daily editorial comments have certainly sparked a heated debate from readers, or should I say indignant response?, since it seems, most commenters appear to agree that U.S. immigration laws should be enforced, and evidence little sympathy for giving law breakers a break. I was particularly drawn to AILA member Michael E. Piston, Esq.'s statement (7/15/05 ID), "AILA, as an organization, needs to demand, that the government allocate sufficient resources to enforce the laws which exist today.", and goes on to say " ... AILA will become increasingly irrelevant to the immigration debate - a whining, carping voice for immigrants unwilling to concede that immigrants have responsibilities as well as privileges, increasingly ignored by anyone who is interested in solving the immigration problem on any grounds other than simply "open borders"". Hey, right on, Mr. Piston ... I have seen AILA for the "whining, carping voice for illegal immigrants" that they are, and on that basis discontinued my AILA membership two years ago, weary of paying $500 a year in dues to an organization whose motivating philosophy practically ignores the needs of their membership of immigration lawyers, who continue to suffer disrespect and second-class citizen status vis-a-vis the procedural attitudes of the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services. In effect, as the voice for immigration lawyers, AILA is impotent, choosing instead, like the editorial trend increasingly appearing in Immigration Daily, to support illegals. As Michael Piston's letter wisely comments, "Face reality my friends. Or reality will deface you." Sadly, reality dictates that the day has passed where America can, with a broad brush stroke, realistically apply the compassionate philosophy of Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus", " ... Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... " David D. Murray, Esq.
