Enforce Existing Laws
Paul Morin – June 15, 2007
The United States Senate spoke loud and clear for the American people – this issue is too important to create new laws while ignoring existing laws.The American Legion, most Americans, and the majority of legal immigrants oppose any measures that sanction or condone coming to this country in any manner other than as stipulated by existing law, whether disguised as “undocumented workers” or “guest-worker programs” or any other wordsmithing that is synonymous with amnesty.
Americans understand the meaning of “immigration,” but the adjectives “legal” and “illegal” seem to be deliberately ignored by some.
The American Legion’s official position is simple: enforcement, enforcement, and enforcement.
Assimilation into American society by legal immigrants is important to the nation’s welfare; however, the failure to properly enforce existing immigration laws divides the nation and manifests both serious racial and cultural turmoil.

I really have nothing to add to this story other than to say, it was written by Mr. Paul A. Morin, the National Commander of the 2.7 million-member American Legion.
Morin is a Vietnam veteran of the U.S. Army and an active member of the Aldenville American Legion Post 337.
He chaired the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Commission, as well as the Legislative and Employment Commissions and served on the Legislative Council and Commission.
In 2001, Morin was honored by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Anthony J. Principi, with the Secretary’s Award for his service to our nation’s veterans while President of the National Association of State Veterans Homes.

It seems so simple, doesn’t it? We don’t need new laws, we need to enforce the laws we already have. What good are new laws when history shows we won’t enforce them.
