“If someone wants to come here and be free and defend freedom, then I cool with that.”
Ordinarily I would agree but I fear that those with another agenda having nothing to do with freedom have ruined it for those type of immigrants. Instead they brought as many wretched, disease, uneducated & criminals here, many illegally by our own POTUS. What we have experienced is an invasion not immigration. And not one shot was fired. Our own government did it to us. This is not the immigration we had 100 years ago. This is something else and it is destructive.
We have reached a saturation point that will end in our destruction. It needs to stop and things need to be righted. I don’t think it is a requirement for Americans to take part in this. There is only so much of the rest of the world we can take on.

Well I don’t doubt that is the case at all. Our government doesn’t do anything for the right reasons. It seems to be motivated by true evil, and I definitely do not trust it at all.
I’m stuck though. If you don’t mind a bit of a read, I’ll tell you a story that sticks with me.
Back in the 1990’s, my mom was driving down a street in Metairie, Louisiana during a rain storm when she noticed a number of people, men, women and children, huddled under a tree.
She, being a good Samaritan, stopped and asked them did they need a ride. They spoke no English, they were Croatians. But they did speak German, which she also speaks, so they were able to communicate.
She drove them in her van to their apartment which was about a half mile away. They became very good friends, two families from Croatia and my mom from Deutschland.
Apparently they had been displaced in Croatia by that whole ethnic cleansing thing going on over there in the 90’s. These we Christian people, but one of them, Miladin, had a face that was marked by hard, hard times. I don’t know what this man had seen, but I know it wasn’t pleasant. Super nice guy though.
They had been brought over here by Catholic charities, given a green card, an apartment for X amount of time (not long) and used furniture and help with English lessons. After a bit they would have to pick up all expenses however, and they were having trouble acclimating.
My mom with her German helped teach them English, and with her job as a recruiter helped find them jobs, though nothing special, just work to help pay the bills. Later Miladin became an electrician, and I am not sure what the other man from the other family did, I can’t recall, but he did find a good job.
She helped get their kids into private Christian schools eventually, and things were going well. She would talk to them all the time on the phone in German, and we went to their apartments a few times for holiday dinners. I can’t say I ever knew what their politics were, but it didn’t matter, they had found a home in a much safer country, and that was good.
Sadly it didn’t end as well as it started. For financial reasons, both families ended up moving to Tennessee. I think their jobs caused them to have to move, I’m not 100% sure, but what happened was their children ended up in public schools there, and it brought the lives of those kids straight down. Those schools started filling those kids heads with garbage, and it took hold real fast. Neither one of us has spoken with them since Hurricane Katrina, so I can’t say how they are doing presently, but I hope well.
So having seen that is one of the reasons that I support legal immigration. I wouldn’t want to turn those people away. Let me tell you, they came here with nothing, because nothing was more than they had where they came from. They came from a place where life is real hard, and I’m glad they did.
It is very sad indeed that our government is basically evil and has tried to turn our American systems against America, and they have been pretty much successful in that effort.
But if there is another family out there like the ones I described, then I want them to have a chance to come here. I don’t know what the solution to our scheming government is, or if there even is one. Maybe we are doomed. But some people in this world still see this country as the shining beacon of freedom, and that is a good thing.
Maybe one day that beacon goes out, because of the evil of men, but I don’t want that beacon to go out because we turned it off, because then we would know for sure that it went dark on our watch.
Evidently we were never a real country, we were just fighting Indians and dying and fighting for centuries to carve out this nation, so that we could create the world’s biggest bus stop.
All of it was for nothing, it seems.
