We Hear You: No, Those Migrants Have No 'Right' to Cross Our Border

Editor’s note: Nolan Peterson’s reporting from the U.S.-bound “caravan” of migrants rang bells with The Daily Signal’s audience, and you’re not shy about sharing your views. Most of today’s mailbag is devoted to those comments. Our address is letters@dailysignal.com.—Ken McIntyre

Dear Daily Signal: While I feel great compassion for these people in Nolan Peterson’s report, who have been assembled by others with an agenda that uses them as pawns in their subterfuge, I am adamant that the only proper response to this event is to deport, deflect, or deny them (“‘It’s Your Right to Go to the US’: What I Saw When I Visited the Migrant Caravan”).

If the migrants are permitted to enter, this will balloon out of all existing proportion to a massive crisis, worse than Europe has seen. Literally millions are watching to see the outcome.

The only reasonable response is to deny them all entry, in a most public fashion that sends a signal to others waiting to see what happens that this is not the answer.

If the citizens of these Central American countries are intent on reaching the U.S. because their governments are unwilling to defend their rights to life, liberty, and property, it would seem the best answer is to help them change their governments. That would be the best outcome for all.—Michael Bowler

The numbers of illegals that are already here are staggering...the 11-12 million number that is touted as the amount of people "hiding in the shadows" but it is more likely at least 3 times that number, per ICE agent that I deal with through work...Imagine a "caravan" of hundreds of thousand...there would be no way to stop it, which is why we desperately need a real WALL...as the article says, the whole world is watching, and we will be inundated if the current "caravans" are allowed entry. If they were truly asylum seekers, then the would have gladly taken Mexico's offer. PERIOD.

@ December 4, 2018 at 5:18 AM. You're exactly right. It is staggering. Go to the mall on rainy days or Sunday's. They damn near outnumber Americans. And it's getting worse. First there were just a few, now they are everywhere. Remember when Georgetown, Delaware was called Little Mexico, years ago? Not anymore. Now these people are in every single town and city on the Eastern Shore. Landscaping companies here are manned by nothing but illegals. Which will come to a stop when President Trump goes after them. I have sent him several emails and tweets telling him he needs to go after the scum bags that hire those people. THEY are the root cause of illegal coming here. THEY give those criminals the incentive to come here. I myself will not do business with any roofers advertised on T V, I mean companies that hire them. I do have video evidence of employers and will give it to the proper authorities when the time comes. Get some courage and take action, people. Do NOT do business with them.
