Dear Sister, are you also delighted with the trucks from Mexico that bring in heroin?  We have a heroin epidemic across the U.S.,  and this heroin comes to us via Mexican cartels and our  porous borders.   This just part of the other side of this immigration and border issue.   There are many more reasons for why  this nation needs to close its borders to illegals.   Why aren't any of these reasons even mentioned in your essay?  

We get that you're a foodie, it's obvious from your essay and your photo.  But the tears of the thousands of parents who have lost children to heroin and violence from drug gangs is a serious matter.   It deserves serious consideration, and not whimsy.
