Illegal Immigration: A Thought.

With upwards of 11 million illegal aliens in our country, and a million or more crossing every year, it isn't hard to come across travesties like this one, which Angel at Woman Honor Thyself just posted about.

Jason Okon, recently returned from Iraq and decorated with the Bronze Star for valor, was stabbed 11 times by an illegal Mexican in his own front yard.

The Mexican has been detained by authorities, who believe the stabbing is a hate crime against a soldier. Okon's pregnant wife often wore her husband's camo shirt about town.

Okon's wife, two daughters, son and unborn child wait to see if their father will survive his wounds.

Ladies and gentlemen, does exercising our Second Amendment rights mean we must now protect our person, family and property against foreign invaders as if we were our own tiny sovereign nation?

Which brings me to my next question: Can the victims (and their kin) of crimes committed by illegal aliens sue our government for failure to protect them from foreign attack?

I am not a lawyer, so I'm not sure if this idea has any legal veracity, but it seems to me that one of the duties of the Federal government ought to be to protect it's citizens from alien assaults. That being the case, the government is guilty of extreme negligence, are they not?

If we cannot prompt the government to protect our borders by public outcry alone, perhaps We The People should hit them where it hurts the most: The wallet.
