How this Immigration Crisis is Overblown and Why it is Exactly What Politicians Want

Here’s the easiest solution to the current controversy regarding illegal immigrant children being separated from their families: don’t enter the country illegally, don’t break the law, don’t try to sneak into America. If you don’t do that, you won’t take the risk of being torn apart from your families and children won’t be crying for all of us to see so we can signal our virtue.

No human being is illegal, you say? I respond with borders, language, and culture. If you don’t have those three things, you don’t have a country. But you don’t want that anyway because you hate America and all we stand for, right? All other countries in the world have strict immigration laws. They adhere to low immigration quotas and implement a merit-based system, only allowing in people who will significantly contribute to their economy and support themselves. The open borders experiment is crumbling across the European continent as we speak.

Don’t like what President Trump is doing? Change the law! He is not embarking upon some dark-rooted quest to destroy families and keep children apart from their parents. He is merely enforcing the law and defending our country from criminals. These laws were passed by both Democrats and Republicans.

Every Senate Democrat has now signed on to cosponsor a bill written so carelessly that it does not distinguish between migrant children at the border and U.S. citizen children already within the United States. The bill further does not distinguish between federal officers handling the border crisis and federal law enforcement pursuing the ordinary course of their duties.

.....but wait, there's more Democrat wisdom.......from a Yale graduate, no less..

Have we ever had more anti-Americans in the US Congress than we have now?

They work feverishly AGAINST Americans; not for.

“...easiest solution ... don’t enter the country illegally...”

Second solution: BUILD THE WALL.

This whole overblown ‘issue’ is to distract from the hearings that show Obama politicized the FBI. Period.

[Maverick68]

This is all, absolute, 100% about diverting attention from the FBI and the IRREFUTABLE evidence of the Left attempting to perform a coup.

[LIConFem]

"Have we ever had more anti-Americans in the US Congress than we have now?"

All the anti/never-Trumpers who've managed to hide their disdain for POTUS and the good folks who voted for him are now coming out of the muck to throw the midterms and to, at a minimum, turn POTUS into a lame duck, or worse have the Dem House of Reps impeach him. And if the latter happens, I'm sure there'll be enough faux-Republican votes in the Senate to convict.

And then the fun begins...

Correction!

…evidence of the Left attempting to perform executing a coup.

I decided to endure 3 hrs of CNN this morning (I know, self flagellation at its worst!) By my reckoning, 98% of those 3 hours consisted of, "Oh, the children", "Trump is an ogre", "Nazi's are roaming the WH", etc. etc, etc.

They've totally lost their minds.

[Maverick68]

agreed....

Thank you for undertaking that arduous task for us and writing a crisp Executive Summary.

ORPHANAGE

An Orphanage holds children, even illegals.

Politicians love anything that perverts the truth. Evil is good and good is evil. Following the law is only ok if it suits my agenda.

The coup happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

What is going on now is the struggle to re-establish the Constitution and the rule of law.

Even here on FR we have people who believe that the children of illegal aliens are natural born citizens eligible to be President.

The "wall" needs to get built right quick the Mexicans are about ready to elect a straight on socialist as president by big margins from what I understand. Yay the failed Narco state of Mexico is going to fix it with socialism - super!

I'm sure he'll have the solutions that will transform Mexico into an awesome country just like Hugo Chavez. Who likes barbecued cat ... anyone anyone, Maduro (yes that how crappy things are in Venezuela they are eating cats, even the meow if they can catch it).

We need this wall up pronto! Imagine Venezuela on our Border. I looks to me that this possible future is about to start occurring.

[ridesthemiles]

I with Trump would:

1. Start a GO FUND ME account to build the wall. Piss on Congress. They authorized the build in about 2006 & authorized $$$$$ to do it, and then they punted. Now, they act like that vote never happened.

I think Americans would donate more than enough $$$ to build a wall.

2. Trump should ask for VOLUNTEERS to help build the wall. Ordinary people with construction & dirt moving experience. Bring in large military tent mess hall operations. Let the wives & girlfriends help cook & keep up the camp. Bring in SHOWER TRAILERS & Laundry trailers. Arrange for parking of RV’s & travel trailers in an organized manner.

Feed everyone for free. Operate in all the daylight hours, and as far into the dark as possible, using kleig lights like the C C Myers Construction company did when they were rebuilding the Santa Monica Freeway after the 1994 earthquake. They finished that job over 64 days ahead of schedule.

There are plenty of retired military people who would do security for these camps, and plenty of construction trained Americans who would volunteer. I am POSITIVE of that.

There is a horse race in Calif that has 250 maximum entries. They get over 600 VOLUNTEERS to work that event. If that can happen, VOLUNTEERS to BUILD THE WALL can happen, also.

Volunteers would SWARM to help Trump build the wall.

They're trying to 'change the subject' away from the FBI corruption scandal....
