The degree to which that is true is the stuff of which armchair political debate is made. Certainly the sentiment comports well with Ben Franklin's assessment of the government proposed by the then-new Constitution: "A Republic, if you can keep it."
It also dovetails nicely with Adams' own warning about politics: "The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
Democrats, and illegal aliens feel entitled to come to America - just because. Biden and his Democrat handlers CHOSE not to enforce the law. In turn, mayors and governors say they don't want to enforce the law either. Ultimately, it comes down to money and power. It is well documented that illegal aliens vote, and they do so in numbers to impact outcomes. Illegal aliens are counted now for electoral votes and house seats. Illegal aliens have, up to this point, brought in billions of dollars through NGOs. Money and power. Once those get shut down, the desire to follow the law will change.
If Republicans took advantage of illegal aliens the same way Democrats do, the tone would be different, and there would be screams to follow the law.
I fail to see why additional legislation is even necessary.
There are laws on the books which define "lawful entry" into the United States, and there are laws on the books which define who is and is not a legal resident alien. The law further provides that anyone who is neither citizen nor legal resident alien is to be deported.
No further legal authority should be required after this, and then the only questions are an appropriate allocation of resources to the task of enforcement.
The bills in question shoujld be budgetary in nature, and need not be granting additional authorities not necessary for the execution of the laws governing persons coming into this country.
"We are not a nation of laws, we are a nation of political will." And I cannot remember whose quote that is.
That quote traces back to Blaze Media talk show host Steve Deace. It's a riff on John Adams' assertion that "we are a nation of laws, not of men."

Mr. Kust,
Can a sitting President and VP be removed from office if they don't uphold the Constitution by which they took a Oath?
Can the voters vote them out of office for this reason?
Voters can vote someone out of office for any reason at all. That's what elections are all about.
Between elections the process of removing a sitting President is that if impeachment.
Let’s just classify the Haitians as White Evangelicals and it shall be done.
It's sad that you might actually be right about that.
There is far too much cynicism at play in goverment and our apprehensions of it.
And the “bipartisan bill” that was thankfully rejected would have been impossible to manage.

I completely agree. The unvetted millions that have illegally crashed our borders should all be arrested and deported.
