Letter body: 

Many bleeding-heart progressives are attacking the Republican presidential candidates for their position on illegal immigrants, using an “all or nothing” approach.

Want to put a halt to illegal immigration? You can’t just be a citizen concerned about the future of our nation, you must be a hate-filled, fear-driven, intolerant bigot. Want secure borders like most other nations? You must be mean and greedy.

Well, I have questions for the bleeding hearts, at least those who have children: How does illegal immigration benefit their children? Do they even consider their future? Or does their “compassion” somehow insulate them from having to confront those realities?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Why would anyone want to put their own children on that road?

When they come and ask the bleeding hearts what they did to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants that forever changed America for the worse, will they be honest and tell them they supported the immigrants?
