Because, I think that in this instance you are putting respect toward people who don't deserve it ahead of the security of the United States, and the latter is the paramount goal.

But you already said that you yourself would be respectful to these people if you interacted with them. So on a personal level it seems that you do believe that they deserve respect. And if they deserve respect from you when you talk to them, it follows that they deserve respect from the government as well, which represents you.


Look, if we only have a choice between an effective solution or respecting foreigners, then the government must do that which benefits Americans the most.

But here we have a solution that achieve both goals at the same time. If it works in the U.S. interest, and it makes the U.S. look good due to its respectful treatment of foreigners, why not embrace it?


Putting more guards on the border is the most effective methods to keep illegal aliens from entering into the U.S. It also happens to be the most respectful; a coincidence I must admit. So why not endorse JanusRook's solution, which is effective and respectful?

Genghis,
 
Ive agreed with a lot youve had to say, as well as hugo.
 
But I certainly hope when I go down to Puerto Penasco(Rocky Point), Mexico next weekend that the Federales(Govt. officials) treat me(an American citizen) and my family with respect.

Well, for Americans that want to leave the rat race, perhaps you should think in settling in Mexico. No kidding, read these articles:

 
And this is the personal experience of an American family living in Mexico:
