What can we agree on?
Well, most people agree people who are in our country illegally shouldn't be. We are a very benevolent country, but not even the mighty United States of America has the resources to let all the problems of the world in.
Most would agree that the Biden administration did a poor job keeping our boarders secure. Quite a few of us can agree that illegals should leave our country until they can reenter through legal and proper channels.
That's where most of the general agreement ends. It's the how illegals leave the country where the problems start.
This is a messy process, and there are many people who want it to happen magically, perfectly but not messy.
Now, up in Minnesota, you have two sides: You have the ICE agents, or border patrol, who have been ordered to remove illegal aliens. They're trying to do their jobs but they don't appear to be as well-trained as the police or military. They have panicked a few times, and two protestors are dead. Neither deserved to die, and a better trained force would have prevented both deaths.
The other side are protestors, some of whom are not always peaceful and civil. At times, they have become violent and, in doing so, have put themselves in harm's way. My father used to tell us "If you're looking for trouble, you'll probably find it."
Nobody deserved to die up there. That's for sure. But violence begets violence. If you're going to provoke, threaten or try to harm an armed agent who isn't trained to engage with violent crowds, you run a risk of harm and are partially responsible for what happens next.
I'm Bill Lamb, and that's my Point of View.
