Enforcing the law

Regarding “Immigration fuels school-building frenzy” (Nation, April 25): Thanks for the informative and truthful article on the immigration-driven school crisis in Los Angeles.

Anyone should be able to see that building more schools is an exercise in futility. Because most of the problem stems from massive uncontrolled illegal immigration, we must take steps to control our borders and use effective interior enforcement to deport illegals.

Illegal immigration can be controlled by enacting the proper legislation to enforce our laws. The CLEAR Act of 2003 (H.R. 2671, Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal) would enable police officers to help enforce immigration law, something that should have been happening all along.
