It is so simple Samantha that even you can understand it if you put
your mind to it: if the front door is open to everybody, then anybody
who continues to enter illegally must be up to a nefarious purpose and
is therefore to be considered a criminal (even if you do not consider
illegal entry a crime). The right to protect one's property is
inherent. If someone trespasses, refuses to leave or be detained, in
NH, it is your constitutional right to bear arms against them (says so
explicitly in our state constitution). The land along the border is not
public property in most cases. Private persons do own it, and it is
their right to protect it against trespass.

It is also hypocritical to see europeans on the list decrying US
immigration policy. The US accepts way more immigrants than the whole
of europe put together. Most european nations are quite closed to
immigration compared to the US. Mind your own store.
