Heartbreaking for 1970s Immigrants Saying Goodbye To The America They Once Knew

Say good-bye to what you grew up with and hello to 2018 America altered not by the normal change that the passage of time creates but a socially-engineered globalist entity spawned by the communist Left over the last five decades

The first Americans I’ve met, Pam and her husband James from Chicago worked with my dad at the refinery. He was an engineer from a small family and she followed him to this God-forsaken country where everyone seemed to be a prisoner. They appeared friendly in a plastic way, smiling all the time for no apparent reason, totally unconcerned about the misery of the oppressed Romanians around them, barely surviving under communism.

The couple relished their monthly shopping trips—it was their escape from the depressing life around them. They would fly to places in the West that were forbidden to us, Hungary, Austria, and Germany. She would come back each time with expensive gifts for herself and her family. She could not wait to return to the land of plenty, far from “this dirty, drab and awful country where nobody smiles.”

Well, if someone wants to put a statute of limitations on this, they can have at it. We could call it the “if you can enter the country and keep your feet within the borders, and not be incarcerated, for “x” years, you have automatic naturalized citizenship.

I wouldn’t be for it, but if time matters to some people, they can pass a law.

The government serves at the whim of the citizens. Illegal aliens are not their constituency. They can treat them humanely, of course, but they need to enforce the law. Without law, we collapse. And if we don’t enforce our laws, we are without law.

I wish that were true in California. There is absolutely no group that is served more slavishly by our state government than the citizens of other countries who live here illegally. The supermajority Democrats all do it. The establishment Republicans join them.

The left's immigration policy is just the The Curley Effect (Using Redistributive Politics to Shape a Left-Wing Electorate) writ large.

Heartbreaking for 1970s illegal Immigrants Saying Goodbye To The America They Once Knew

Heartbreaking for 1970s Bank Robbers Saying Goodbye To The Millions They Once Knew

Heartbreaking for 1970s Kidnappers of Young Teens Held for Decades Saying Goodbye To The Romance They Once Knew

Sorry, but their #FakeNews headline does not tug at my heartstrings. I celebrate when criminals get what they deserve, even if justice has been delayed. Deport all illegals, whether back to Romania, Poland, Ireland, Mexico, or Somalia. No exceptions. Imprison all bank robbers, whether they have held their stolen money for minutes, hours, days, or decades. Lock up or execute all kidnappers. Crime should not pay, whether illegal invasion of our country or a different serious felony.

They started embracing Socialism, not Communism, because they believe it to be good (claiming Christ was a socialist), when the schools started indoctrinating them to believe America & capitalism were evil. It started slowly in the 60’s, and got progressively more bold and open with the indoctrination process with each new generation. Most parents didn’t complain because they had been taught that the country wasn’t perfect. What was left out though, is that even with its shortcomings it still was the best nation on the face of the earth.

Ironically they recently surveyed a bunch of countries to determine the ones where the population was the most Pro-Capitalist. The Top Country: Vietnam.

NICE TAKE BY LAURA INGRAHAM

“More kids are being temporarily housed in what The San Diego Union Tribune described as looking like boarding schools,” Ingraham said.

“The American taxpayer is footing a really big bill for what is tantamount to a slow-rolling invasion of the United States.”

FR POSTED-—when Hillary Clinton was gearing up for a presidential run, she argued children of illegal immigrants aren’t entitled to stay in the United States.

“Should they [children] be able to stay here? It’s safer,” CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked during a 2014 interview.”It may be safer, but that’s not the answer,” Clinton said. “We need to provide more border security in southern Mexico. They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who the responsible adults in their families are. All of them who can be should be reunited with their families,” she continued. “We have to send a clear message: just because your child gets across the border, doesn’t mean your child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or that will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”

President Obama made the same argument then that President Donald Trump has been making about the problems with current immigration law. “Do not send your children to the border,” Obama said. “The problem is that under current law, once those kids come across the border, there is a system in which we’re supposed to process them, take care of them until we can send them back.”

REFERENCE——The first major unaccompanied minor crisis occurred in 2014 when tens-of-thousands of illegal alien children crossed the southern border with Mexico without their parents. Today, that crisis continues. While many illegal immigrants are adults with children crossing as (unverified) “family units,” the vast majority are unaccompanied minors.

FYI---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.......

That's interesting. For those interested in reading about the topic, here is an article from 2015 on the subject:

It turns out communist Vietnam loves capitalism more than the US does

The actual survey done by Pew Research in 2014 (from link in the above article):

Emerging and Developing Economies Much More Optimistic than Rich Countries about the Future

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I wonder if that's why VN may be going to war with China...
