I am confused...can someone explain to me how Utahn and Federal Anti-Illegal Immigration Laws and President Hinckley's urging that no man who issues disparaging remarks about persons of another race is a disciple of Christ? Fox 13 news last night seems to have made the connection naturally, but I don't see it. Sure, the existence of anti-immigration laws can allow the unscrupulous an opportunity to voice their true un-christian like thoughts about another culture which ultimately they do not know enough about. Nevertheless, the anti-immigration legislation itself is not a disparaging discrimination against any culture or race, it is a law to protect our security and economy from unlawful invasion by people who by their very manner of entry into our country have indicated that they believe themselves exempt from certain requirements of the law. This is true whether the immigrant is coming from China, Mexico, Denmark, or Great Britain. Culture and race are irrelevant, the point this legislation makes is that people who enter the country as criminals, are in fact criminals and the law has a provision for how to handle that offense, just as it does any other criminal offense.
