Biden's Disrespect for Borders and Boundaries

Boundaries in their best sense bring coherence and focus.

To the believers in this idea, nationhood itself is backwards thinking, and national boundaries are more so.

Tradition has long derived from this the timeless relevance of the story of the Exodus, for each person faces boundaries and limitations that they must overcome to become a free person and to leave slavery behind.

At the same time, we find that in Scripture and its traditions, boundaries are protected and intended by God.

What emerges from considering both of these ideas together is a concept of correct and incorrect boundaries.

There is not much difference between the boundary of one private person's property and the boundary of the many individuals and families gathered together in a national home.

Mr. Biden, if you wish to have the substance of American decency and good sense, not just the sellable illusion of it, please respect our boundaries and our laws and our common sense.
