Do you read jihadwatch.com? It is one of the best websites on Islam and has many links which reveal how Islam is affecting its victims in many parts of the world. This is a global war.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with making immigration serve the needs of the nation instead of those seeking to come here.
Are you bringing capital you will use to establish a business that will employ people, fortify our economy and pay taxes? You’re in.
Do you have a highly developed, in-demand skill or advanced knowledge in short supply here? You’re in.
Are you likely to establish a (relatively ordinary) business that will employ others, like a dry cleaners, restaurant, or store? You’re in.
Is someone already here willing to sign (as was required when this nation still had sense) a pledge that, should you prove incapable of supporting yourself, that they will, and back that pledge by showing they have sufficient assets and income to do that? No one admitted to this nation should expect to receive anything beyond the most limited, short-term emergency humanitarian aide.
None of the above apply if you have been convicted of a serious crime, are infirm, carry communicable diseases, won’t both learn and affirm the Constitution, or won’t vow loyalty to this nation over all others. If any of these apply to you, you’re not in, and you never will be.
Above all, the mere fact that other family members managed to get here illegally should do nothing to improve your chances of being admitted here, and perhaps should impair them.
Until we allow common sense to inform our immigration policy, we are doomed to demise as a nation.
