Misplaced apologies on illegal immigration

Re “Crossing the line,” Opinion, Feb. 27

David Dorado Romo suggests that multiple apologies to illegal immigrants are in order for a variety of especially deplorable wrongs. Although he may be correct, I have a better idea: How about apologies from anyone who supports illegal immigration, whether financially or philosophically, to the millions of legal immigrants who play by the rules? Their hard work and determination are cheapened by anything other than secure borders.

What part of “illegal” does Romo not understand? “Fervor”? Is this the new euphemism for demanding control of our border? Those who sneak in don’t deserve apologies; indeed, they should only be encouraged to sneak back out and let their friends know how much Americans don’t like sneaks.
