A nation that can’t defend
its borders isn’t a country at all. To anyone demanding protection from these
criminal elements, from drug smugglers to terrorists, is called a racist. If Germans
or British citizens were killing families along with our southern border or
were suicide bombers that had carried out attacks, would demanding a halt on
their importation of evil also be called “racist”, or would we call it common
sense?
Legal briefs were filed
with the Supreme Court last Thursday evening that asked the court for two
things: to allow a travel ban to go into effect now and to hear the arguments
for the ban in the fall. But since Trump’s travel restrictions were only for a
90 day period, a fall date could be a moot point. The case against the
executive order has thus far been that Trump’s a racist and seeking to
discriminate based on religion, a clear violation of the law. And that’s the
core of the argument that Trump’s intent was to discriminate. The courts saw
that as a crime and ruled against the order.
In phase two of
implementing these temporary travel restrictions, the Justice Department has
tried to argue that the bans are temporary and only from certain nations. This
was a good argument from a legal perspective but Trump’s tweet that it’s a
“travel ban” could reinforce the original rulings of discrimination. But even
if it is discrimination, is it really such a bad thing? It’s only temporary, it
only applies to 6 countries this time (Iraq is off the list) and it is actually
necessary.
Unfortunately, liberals
and their “all criminals welcome” brigade will continue to roll out the red
carpet for the world’s most dangerous people. But the left would rather burn
the American flag than close our borders to protect our citizens. Trump’s reuse
of the phrase “Travel Ban”, has once again ignited the left whose only argument
is that our president is a racist. First off, Islam is a religion, not an
ethnic group. But I guess if liberals were smart enough to know that, they
would have seen Sunday’s ISIL sponsored terrorist attacks in London as a sign
we need to use some caution in our immigration policies. The last travel ban
was imposed on nations of concern and anyone who’s from that region will
understand.
If you haven’t talked to
anyone from the middle east, then I challenge you to ask them what they think
of the travel ban. You’ll get an earful about how easy it is to come to
America, how we’re letting the wrong people in, and they’ll probably allude to
our policies as naïve and a little stupid. But that’s just been my experience,
I hope you’ll comment below on your experience asking this question.
Looking at the other
border problem, the once from Mexican migrants, you can see that a little over
half of illegal immigrants have been arrested for a drug charge and 27% make up
federal prison inmates. Take into consideration that a majority of illegal
migrants who commit crimes are deported without serving any prison time. Of the
78,690 illegals deported in 2010, 17,797 reentered the US. And those are just
the ones that we know about because they were deported again. We don’t have to
wonder what the real number is because they’ll be coming for you at a gun point
soon enough.
Why does the Mexican
government continue to press the US to soften its migration policies while they
get tougher on their own? Mexico deports more illegal aliens per year that the
US does. And that’s after they have spent 2 years in prison for entering the
country illegally. If they are caught in Mexico again, its 10 years in prison!
Why is it ok for Mexico to be tough on illegal immigration but if the US goes
in the same direction, it’s an in-depth racist stratagem to oppress Hispanics?
But when in doubt, ask
who’s getting paid. In the case of Mexico, it’s the two-thirds that send $300
home 14 times per year that accounts to the $27 billion responsible for
propping up the Mexican economy. For the Syrian refugees, its Christian and
Muslim non-profits that get up to $2,200 per refugee and that’s just from the
State Department. Catholic Charities are netting $3.8 billion annually with at
least $1 billion coming from the Refugee Resettlement program.
Michael Leagy1 argues in
his article on Breitbart that these charities have become extensions of the US
government bureaucracy. Although I don’t believe they aren’t trying to
“Islamicize” America, I’m confident that they are willing to sell out our
country for a few pieces of silver. On the other hand, what’s wrong with
charities helping people out? Isn’t it the American way to help poor widows and
orphan families live someplace safe? Isn’t it heartless for us to live in a
great country and keep people out?
What about the migrants
that come here legally? Don’t they deserve a safe place to live as well? These
charities often lose track of the refugee’s within four months of their arrival
here. Gone! They aren’t required to help them nor they aren’t required to keep
track of them in any way whatsoever.
The immigration problem,
be it illegals from Mexico or refugee’s from Syria are part of the same
problem. On the one hand, illegals from Mexico come from a culture of crime.
Sure, a large number of them end up living the quite life on small farms in
Ohio and Wisconsin, but those who don’t end up in prison and even become
rapists and murders. With the Syrian refugee’s, we have an opportunity to do
something that we can’t do with our southern invaders, pick and choose.
Through a proper vetting
process, we can at least make sure that those coming haven’t just been dropped
off by a prison van at our border. We can see their educational background,
make sure they’re sane, and otherwise make sure they aren’t connected to
terrorist groups. A common sense approach to a simple humanitarian effort. But
we’ve got to build that God Damned wall! Illegal migrants from the south will
continue to take advantage
The permissive culture of
illegal immigration created by President Obama and his lax policies will come
back to haunt us for generations to come. The same liberal attitudes against
building a wall are the same ones that will one day allow for a mushroom cloud
to loom brightly over a major American city. All in the name of being
politically correct.
Update: The President states in a White House Press Release that 8 US
Code 1182 grants him the power to suspend migration “when he deems it to be in
the national interest”.
It’s
time to trump up the immigration policy, the US border problem. If it’s not the
southern borders open gateway to illegal migrants, it’s the courts welcoming of
possible Islamic terrorists from the middle east. At some point, we need to ask
ourselves why our government is so adamant about letting everyone into our
country?
