Like many immigrants, I came to the United States through legal means to obtain an undergraduate degree in engineering. I have been paying taxes ever since, from school jobs to internships to post-grad jobs. In fact, the United States was the first country to ever grant me work authorization, something I believed to be a privilege considering I was on a temporary student visa.
Everything was going well for me until I decided to leave Islam. Coming from a community that is virtually 100 percent Muslim, I knew I could never go back to my home country afterward. My decision to leave and criticize Islam publicly forced me to resort to asylum.
That is exactly why I’m for the border wall. True asylum seekers will still be able to file for asylum at the ports of entry, maybe even in their home countries soon, if Sen. Lindsey Graham’s new asylum law package is implemented. A wall can significantly lower, if not eliminate, illegal crossings, especially when coupled with recommended, location-specific operational tactics. It would discourage economic migrants from making the dangerous trip, and it would certainly gut the smuggling business in the region.
A wall would also help U.S. Customs and Border Protection operate much more efficiently by concentrating manpower in areas where physical barriers would be limited, such as the Rio Grande River. Finally, and most importantly, a wall would save taxpayers money in the long run.

The dirty little secret is legal immigrants hate illegals..
Trump may get a lot more of these votes in 2020
At the time of Pres. Reagan’s massive amnesty for illegals I was working with an Indian immigrant in an academic setting. He was truly indignant that illegals were given a free pass when he and his family — all talented, well-educated, self-supporting folks — had to jump thru hoops to gain legal status.
It’s funny how many different ways you could have worded that but needed to take a shot at Reagan.
I see the slow changes here already.
By the time Trump’s first term ends people here will be openly cursing Reagan :)
But there has always been a bit of a herd mentality here, though we like to think we’re different than dems in that way
Ethiopia is certainly not “virtually 100% Muslim”.
Could it be that the author just decided Wisconsin sucked less than Africa?
Pres. Reagan made a huge error when he trusted the Democrats to increase border security AFTER he gave amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Democrats are like the Iranian imams,lying through their teeth to promote their agenda.
That lesson served Pres. Reagan well when he dealt with the Soviets later and declared his wiser policy, “Trust, but verify.”
The white American liberal does not approve of this.
Interesting article...
Yeah I got that part, but he implied that he was not safe in his country.
Hungary built a triple row of fences topped with razor wire.
Their invaders dropped from around 8,000-10,000 DAILY to less than 200.
bkmk

That explains why he's relocated to the US. Thanks Hojczyk.
