When many of our ancestors emigrated from their home countries, they came with little or nothing but their desire to escape oppression or starvation. They did not have the benefit of federal subsidies to support them, as many now do. They worked hard for whatever pay they might receive (often little more than a beggar’s lot) and were thankful for the opportunity to provide a meager existence to their family in a free country. Minimum wage jobs which seemed unlikely to provide enough for most, were more income than some immigrants were formerly used to having for their survival. In many cases, their loyalty to America was demonstrated during war time when they enlisted in service to American efforts with heroic results.
These valiant characteristics should be preferred for admission and possible citizenship to the United States of America. Currently, there is no such criteria. Politicians have used political correctness to dupe Americans into allowing anyone to enter. The way they promote their ideas may seem humanitarian. They use words that make you feel as if you are wrong if you do not agree with them. They might be right except for the fact that many of these people are being subsidized by liberal programs that actually are not available to American citizens. Adding insult to injury, American tax payers are footing the bill. If the people being admitted were self sustaining and loyal or grateful, that alone would make them worthy. However, when they come to America and raise the flag of their former country, dishonoring the American flag, they should be dismissed. When they form mob like groups protesting against our American Constitution, they should be arrested for sedition. When they attack any American citizen without provocation, they should be incarcerated or deported with no possibility of return.
Freedom belongs to Americans; that is why so many people want to live here. Those who are not happy with any aspect of our laws should return to their former country post haste.
Politicians who disagree with President Trump’s immigration policy, should plan to vacate their seats. The people are tired of political correctness which, to this date, has been used as double talk for “we want to take more of your money”. President Trump’s plain and outspoken agenda is exactly what people want; and all of your divisive rhetoric is meaningless.
We have known for years that our voting system has been compromised. The very proof of it is in the fact that liberals are against voter ID. What are they hiding? People voting from the cemetery? Prison? Illegitimate? Show your cards!
Under our current system of immigration by lottery, countries can release their criminals into our country putting a burden on our resources; both in law enforcement and in prison population. By the way, an American prison is much more inmate friendly than almost any prison in a foreign country.
Under the chain migration system, relatives should be restricted to immediate family only (mother, father, sister, brother) and then only if they agree. Some people might actually want to stay in their home country. Extended families should not even be considered. How much do you actually know about your second cousin on your husband’s (or wife’s) side?
Some DACA recipients who have embraced America by educating and improving their communities, or by serving in the military, should have special consideration. We love their love of America but disdain any who are gang members or criminals.
Building the wall has been touted by politicians for years. It has repeatedly been a neglected promise to the people. America’s sovereignty and security are threatened without distinct borders.
The merit based system proposed by President Trump is not biased against any country; it is merely pro American for obvious safety and economic reasons.
Americans welcome the people of the world who approach legally, and appreciate all aspects of being an American. If your intent is to change America into something like your former home land, you probably should stay where you are. We are doing just fine without you.
Politicians who are unhappy with disavowing illegals should focus on changing our immigration policy, not on demeaning the president. Let’s hope that there are still some politicians with a conscience who will endorse the president’s programs. For too long, the money and influence from lobbyists and pacs has corrupted those who govern our Republic. Let’s build the wall, and Make America Great Again!
God bless our wonderful country! The land of freedom and opportunity.
