The recent influx of people from other lands has many citizens and politicians up in arms. Some consider it to be a planned invasion of dependents intent on becoming a huge Democratic voting bloc. Others see it as an opportunity to employ cheap labor for a hefty profit. Still others see it as a direct threat to the American way of life.The first thing we should consider is that they are people. They are not things. For that reason, whether they are admitted as voting citizens or not, they should receive the basic needs of food and shelter, along with opportunity to contribute to their communities no matter how meager those communities may appear.
The next thing we should consider is that they are in need of spiritual and physical care to the end that they may, as families, have the opportunity to make the best of things despite less-than-favorable conditions. We should make every aim to keep them as families and not tear families apart.
Families are foundational to self-governance, a concept alien to liberals and the current brood of self-entitled bloodsuckers in Washington.
Some Americans have a tendency to sit and complain when resources are spent on those in need. In this case, however, Americans should get off their duffs and meet these people with ideas that allow them to escape the liberal tendency to make us wards of the state. It would be a shame for them to suffer further under liberal policies.
Americans ought to eschew the notion that the state must take care of us. They should step in and teach what it means to be virtuous, independent, cordial, and oriented toward service as we together clean up the messes caused by corrupt people and politicians who have little regard for truth and virtue.
>>The local newspaper assigned a sub-theme of “liberals hate families” to this piece.
That should be the sub-headline for this excellent piece by Anthony Daniels that was posted today:
The Worldview that Makes the Underclass

God save the Republic...the Republicans certainly won’t.
A lot of immigrants can’t remotely fathom that you are able to sit on your ass and collect a check in the US. They want to work and will work hard. Another group comes here precisely because they hear that you can sit on your ass and collect a check in the US and not have to work. The key is to separate them at the border and send the lazy Welfare cases back.
There are a good many lazy, pseudo-citizens that we could send packing with them. Otherwise at least put them to work, even if it's pedaling bicycles to power industry.
MILITARIZE THE F-ING BORDER!
I’d much rather help immigrants stay in the place where they have a legal...and moral...right to be.Their homeland.
Yeah....like where’s my freebies.....school tuition, where’s my subsidized housing, food, medical, lawyer.... Whatever you say
Send them all back. We’re broke.
Thanks for the link. A great deal of substance there.
As long as it is human flesh, it is teachable, just as it is capable of repentance and faith.
I’m not so sure these immigrants are making demands so much as liberals are making demands of us on their behalf. As long as we let liberals dictate a dependent way of life, they will depend on, and likely become, liberals. We should rob liberals of that wicked pleasure.
Better yet, let's just screen immigrants for liberal ideas.
Naivety is the downfall of the right. You expect such out of the left but when those who are supposedly on the right spout this crap it almost makes things seem hopeless.
Pure delusion.
Should we try to help them reject those liberal ideas BEFORE or AFTER they stop accepting the free stuff and the welfare benes?
Before, during, AND after.
What can we do to diminish use of the welfare system? Do you think all foreign people are inherently lazy?
Reduce benefits so that only the truly needy qualify.
Do you think all foreign people are inherently lazy?
No and neither are all Americans inherently lazy. The welfare state creates its own constituency. It is human nature. If you change the incentives, you change their behavior.
