Reflection on the Need for Reform of the Immigration Law

The currect immigration system in the United States undermines public morality. The undocumented look for false papers so that they may support their families. Meanwhile, employers participate in the deceit by accepting the documents they know to be worthless, in many cases to feed the country. Also, the government selectively turns its head so that society may get along in relative peace.

Some kind of Solomonian wisdom is in order to produce a fair, workable immigration system. This challenge should not discourage society, much less deter it altogether. We need to keep working (and praying) that everyone will cooperate for the common good. Allowing the system, which truly is broken if not unendurable, will only perpetuate individual irresponsibility.
