Letter body: 

The point that Ron Funke (and other liberals who believe it’s a good idea to have wide-open borders) seem to leave out of their argument is that there are immigrants who came here legally (letters, Aug. 24). They didn’t try to break, twist or misinterpret the law.

The 14th Amendment was added in response to slavery. We’re not kidnapping Mexicans (or anyone else) and bringing them here in chains. It’s an outdated amendment that needs to be changed to eradicate the “anchor baby” provision.

I challenge any liberal to name a single developed country that has the same open border policy as President Obama’s.

In most other countries, illegal immigrants are jailed; in some, they’re shot.
