The question that forms the basis for my commentary addresses the fundamental aspects of the immigration issue.
The short answer to the question, “Why did the illegal alien run our border” is that there is no definitive way of knowing. In this case, what we don’t know can certainly harm us. An alien who runs our borders is violating our nation’s sovereignty and our nation’s laws- laws that are being ignored by our federal government and those municipalities and states that have “Sanctuary” policies in place.
Being concerned about the reason an alien would seek to enter the United States is not, by the way, limited to illegal aliens who are now present in the United States but is actually one of the very first questions that a U.S. consular officer asks an alien who applies for a visa for the United States and is also one of the first and most important questions that a CBP (Customs and Border Protection) Inspector asks an alien who seeks entry into the United States. It is a question I asked virtually every alien I encountered during the four years I served as an Immigration Inspector at the beginning of my 30 year career with the INS. As you may know, I began my career with the former INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) in October 1971 as an Immigration Inspector assigned to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
