Home Security

Home Security

- Most people in the US have doors to their homes, right? Sure.
- What is the purpose of those doors? To keep the kids and air conditioning in, and to keep things/people they don’t want in out.
- Is it reasonable to assume that these homeowners want to know who is coming in through their doors and why they are entering? I would hope so.
- People with a concern for the security of their property also have a fence around their yards as well, right? Yes.
- Is it also reasonable to assume that these homeowners also want to know who is coming onto their property and why they are doing so? Of course it is.
- If other people begin entering the home or property without the homeowner’s permission, should he be allowed to bar his doors and lock his fence? Yes.
- Would it be reasonable to assume that the homeowner should also consider it an obligation to secure his home/property to protect the safety of his family? I say yes.
- If the homeowner finds a vagrant who has been living in his garage, raiding his fridge, and fishing loose change out of the couch cushions should the homeowner be obligated to let him stay and grant him a chance to become a member of the family? Absolutely not.

How is any of this so different from our national borders? Sure some people may just be coming in to fish the loose change out of the couch cushions and raid the fridge, but does the homeowner know this? No, he does not. Nor do we know the reason for illegal entry of every person who crosses our border without our knowledge. Most may be here for lettuce-picking jobs and construction work, but how sure are we that not a single one of them has other motives?
