President Trump and Immigration Based On Merit
Architect of Avalon ^ | 1/16/2018 | Architect of Avalon

Posted on 01/16/2018 11:08:23 PM PST by Architect of Avalon

Recently a Senator, whom many refer to by his nickname Dirty Durbin, said that President Trump referred to certain countries with a less-than-rosy word while objecting to the Temporary Protected Status of immigrants from those countries.

President Trump reportedly also noted that increasing immigration from countries of European heritage, like Norway, which has been a source of productive immigrants to North America for over 1100 years, would be good.

While President Trump was referring to the way that TPS countries are managed, and not impugning rank-and-file citizens of good character in those countries, the matter does raise two questions.

The first question is why a preference for immigrants from Third World countries is labeled good by the Fake News Media and a preference for immigrants from First World countries is labeled bad by the Fake News Media. What objective do they want to achieve that would be helped by the first preference and hurt by the second preference?

The second question is why anyone would object to immigration that is based on the merit of each immigrant. After all, it was liberal icon John F. Kennedy who said “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

What is the problem, then, of a standard for immigrants that says “Ask not what the United States can do for any given immigrant. Ask what any given immigrant can do for the United States.”?

Easy - because that would mean more White and Asian immigrants. You see they are Bell Curve deniers in public, but believe it in private.

If Trump had any brains about the subject and the DemocRATS, he'd instantly go into a full-blown deportation mode ... IMMEDIATELY !
Watch the DemocRATS' heads explode as they see their flown-in, bussed-it, and railroaded-in ILLEGALS rounded up and DEPORTED by the TENS OF THOUSANDS DAILY, until he receives FULL FUNDING for the border WALL !
How many ILLEGALS can you load on a C-5 and fly out of here daily ?
How many C-5s can we use daily to get rid of these ILLEGALS ?

Because new immigrant citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party?

Re: “full-blown deportation mode”

Good luck with that fantasy.

Most illegals can postpone their deportation up to five years.

Hearings, trials, appeals, all of it paid for by court appointed public defenders or pro-immigration groups.

From memory - the current backlog of pending deportation orders is about 600,000!

When you tout today’s Norway and other Scandinavian countries...socialist healthcare, atheist dominant, eco-maniac, abortion-friendly, suicide and euthanasia-friendly paradises that they are...

You sound like a Bernie bot. He wants us to be Denmark. Dontcha know?

I get it. You want borders. A wall. And a halt on immigrants. But lets stop with this Scandinavia’s so great nonsense. Their value system is what’s rotting away at Western civilization more than immigration.

I don’t think you’re a conservative. Liberals bring in 3ed worlders as their invasion baby bombs to make nations more and more leftwing. Opposing that invasion is the only issue that really matters if plan to keep the country.

You're right, also, note the case made visually in post #7.

I dont want more immigration but if you were an up to date Christian, you’d know its African and Caribbean church leaders and Christians protecting Catholicism and Anglicanism from the transgenderizing values touted by the West. And if you’ve spent any meaningful time in Europe, and attend church regularly, you’d know it was mostly Africans filling the pews, evangelizing whites, and keeping the old and beautiful churches open and alive —> instead of becoming apartments, yoga studios, vegan restaurants, and hipster store complexes.

(Can’t tell you how depressing it is when you walk into such an establishment knowing it was once a glorious, stained-glass church.)

Places like Sweden were a spiritual vaccuum and look what they’re dealing with: with all the rape madness from Islamic radicals or what have you.

You can’t build a tower of babel civilization. The entire thing will come crumbling down.

Sweden’s the way it is because Christianity and western civilization has been infected with progressivism. The solution is to cut out the cancer of liberalism, not invite the cancer’s foot soldiers into your midst.

Pentecost redeemed Babel. Basic theology 101. Look it up. The New Testament realities broke Old Testament curses. Thats why Jews and Gentiles can be together with Christ as the bridge.

If the curse of Babel was broken, then Christain Goths wouldn’t have destroyed the Christain Western Roman Empire when the Romans let them past the border. God ordains different peoples and different nations and those who ignore Babel suffer war, destruction, and death.

Trump should start the deportation of the DACA “scReamers” effective immediately. The treason party has made it abundantly clear they do not want to compromise on anything and as a matter of fact are more obsessed with turning this whole thing into a ridiculous race issue. Start the deportations and make it courtesy of Dick Durtbin, Schmuck Schoomer, the Oscar winning actor Cory “tears of rage” Booker and the rest of these frauds who don’t give a damn about anybody but themselves.

Lets define naturalization....does anyone know its meaning? Are natural born and naturalization linked?

“Yearnings to be with her own natural kind” Wordsworth

“Were all thy children kind and natural” Shakespeare

“The KINDLY fruits of the earth” The Book of Common Prayer

Did the Founders and the Constitution limit Immigration to a natural kind?

Did Congress ever amend Article 1 Section 8?

Did Congress unnaturalize the country? Was it Constitutional?

But no one has come up with a sufficient response to the Democrat counter argument: “RACIST RACIST RACIST”.

I say this honestly and with sadness. The proper response, IMHO, IS “FU”, but that really isn’t politically effective.
