Letter: Enforce immigration laws

Sunday’s lead story regarding the school district’s efforts to install “safeguards” to prevent over-age young men or women from enrolling in our public schools mentioned that it actually is a third-degree felony to do this, with penalties including prison time and a $5,000 fine.

If the county does not enforce this law, then why should other over-age young men and women not try to enroll in our schools?

False documentation is not difficult to get or make on today’s computers, and if there is no punishment for the crime, why not try? Life is good in the United States.

You break the law and there are no consequences. Unless, of course, you are born here.
