Immigration adds another burden to our country
It seems I have more confidence in the enemy's ability to sneak into the United States than our ability to screen them out. Of course, America should help refugees. But wait a minute — we still have Vietnam veterans living on the streets, and a terrific homeless problem. And we want another project?
Helping immigrants should not include welcoming the wolf into Red Riding Hood's neighborhood because he's wearing a bonnet and cape of disguise. The directive issued by Trump, although jolting, is of limited duration — only until refugees are properly vetted.
In the past, illegal immigrants from Mexico streamed into America to pick crops for cheap wages. The U.S. was glad to have them do it and turned a blind eye; today we have massive, illegal drug trade from Mexico and Canada because no one wanted to get tough. Today, liberals grant immigrants budget priority over Americans. Today, liberals howl in the streets because they don't like this administration. Today, liberals would allow all refugees in; some, gaining access in the slipstream, claiming to be refugees themselves or even proper business people, aided and abetted by their sympathizers, and bankrolled by those with evil ideologies who wish to do us harm.
President Trump has issued a bright, bold directive. If the Supreme Court can read, write, and add 2 and 2, it will lift the ban imposed by district courts. The wolf is at the door. Wake up, America! Before it's too late.
