Is the subject of ‘refugees’ reaching
critical mass? Posted by Ann

Not yet, but it
is getting there! I just returned from the dentist and am blown away by
the media discussion of refugees in the few hours I was away (and it sure
isn’t warm and fuzzy World Refugee Day news either).
Frankly, I never thought I would see the
day when the ‘R’ word would be so often repeated throughout the
media. I once heard
someone say that in social science there is a proper term for the
phenomenon when a level of consciousness is reached across a wide swath of the
American political landscape. I don’t remember what that term was….
So the closest
I can come is to say that we are reaching critical mass (a term from physics
that is now used for just about anything!).
First, as I
walked into my home and flipped the radio dial to Rush Limbaugh (at the same
time inspecting the choices in the frig) I heard Rush talking about Michael Patrick Leahy’s story from Monday about the six diseases now
making a comeback thanks to the immigrant/refugee flood into America. Wow!
And, then that
disgusting issue that officials in Twin Falls, Idaho were trying to keep under
wraps is all over the media both last night and today. Even Fox News
reported it, here.
Here is Trump in his speech today saying we could rebuild
America’s inner cities with the money Hillary want to spend on refugees.
And, here he says Hillary wants migrants admitted to the
US from countries that persecute gays and mistreat women. Female Genital mutilation is on the rise among immigrant
communities in the US (linked at Drudge). CAIR says that voter registration among US Muslims is up by
300,000 over 2012. Anatomy of the US terror threat
(including from some refugees) is at Fox today. And, 48% of respondents in a recent poll agree with Trump’s ban on Muslim
migrants entering US.
Then there is
the fact that Muslim immigration is at the heart of the Brexit battle to be
decided in the UK, here tomorrow. I’m sure there
is much more, that’s just a few stories that jumped out at me over a few
minutes of checking the news this afternoon! Do you have some I missed?
So could we be
reaching critical mass to bring the change needed to roll back this
monstrosity. Yes, I believe we are moving in that direction. Time will tell if
we are moving fast enough.
