Not All Refugees Are Welcome
Townhall.com ^ | February 1, 2017 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 02/01/2017 5:31:29 AM PST by Kaslin

For years, left-wingers would contest my use of the term "open borders lobby" because, they sternly rebuked me, nooooobody in America seriously believes in open borders.

Whelp.

This weekend, thousands of anti-Trump liberals took to the streets, airports and college campuses chanting "all are welcome" and shrieking "let them in" to protest White House executive orders enforcing our borders. In case their position wasn't clear enough, the mobs bellowed:

"No borders, no nations, f--- deportations!"

"No walls, no borders, f--- executive orders!"

Militant mayors in Seattle, Denver and New York City re-declared themselves open-borders sanctuaries -- or as I call them, outlaw cities. All of California will now consider declaring itself a "sanctuary state." Radical progressive companies vowed to hire 10,000 refugees (Starbucks), provide free housing to refugees (Airbnb) and subsidize left-wing legal efforts to fight President Trump's refugee moratorium and enhanced visa-holder vetting (Lyft).

Reasonable people can argue about the details and implementation of Trump's policies. But the John Lennon-addled "Imagine there's no country" crowd is post-reason. Their treacle is treacherous.

No, nitwits, not all refugees are welcome here.

Muslim extremist refugees seeking to wage jihad on our soil and kill all infidels are not welcome here.

Anti-American refugees seeking to transform our society and culture into a Balkanized hell are not welcome here.

Misogynist refugees who treat their (multiple) wives as second-class citizens and subjugate their daughters (who are vulnerable to "honor killings" for the slightest transgressions) are not welcome here.

Jobless refugees seeking to soak up our tax dollars while griping about our lack of generosity are not welcome here.

In 2014, New England mayors from both parties pleaded with the Obama administration to enact a refugee resettlement freeze as the flood of unassimilated newcomers strained their schools and municipal resources. "I have enough urban issues to deal with. Enough is enough," Springfield, Massachusetts mayor Domenic Sarno, a Democrat, declared at the time. "You can't keep concentrating poverty on top of poverty."

President Trump understands what the Pollyanna protesters of his immigration enforcement reforms simply cannot or will not comprehend: America needs a break.

We cannot be responsible hosts when our immigration and entrance system is in shambles. Homeland security officials and inspectors general have warned for decades that our consular offices are filled with corrupt and incompetent clerks; our computer systems are outdated; criminal background checks have been abandoned wholesale; the deportation and removal apparatus has been sabotaged by pro-illegal immigration ideologues; and our southern border is overrun by drug cartel violence, human trafficking and misery.

We already grant 1 million legal permanent residencies to people from around the world every year. That's expected to increase to 10.5 million green cards by 2025. Add in between 11 million and 30 million aliens here illegally, along with an estimated annual influx of 70,000 asylees; 500,000 foreign students; nearly 700,000 total foreign guest workers (skilled and unskilled, plus their spouses, many of whom are allowed to work here as well); plus more than 350,000 foreign high school and university students, researchers, physicians, and summer work travelers on J-1 exchange visitor visas; 66,000 visas for nonagricultural temporary foreign workers; and 117,000 slots for seasonal agricultural workers.

Section 7 of President Trump's executive order calls for full construction of the long-delayed biometric entry-exit tracking system -- which Congress and both parties have promised to do since the 1990s, but have failed to complete since the 9/11 National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States recommended it 13 years ago. The tourism industry, foreign governments, the ACLU, universities and the immigration lawyers' lobby have all conspired to prevent this meaningful tracking system from coming online. An estimated 40 percent of all aliens here illegally are visa overstayers.

It is not "fascist," "racist" or "xenophobic" to close our front door to tens of thousands more while we get our own house in order. It is self-preservationist.

Whatever the cost - most of us would be happy to move ALL of last years ‘immigrants’ into the wealthiest ZIP codes in the country - THOSE CLUSTERS AROUND WASHINGTON DC.

Time to let the ‘liberals’ do the assimilation... over half of all immigrants CHOSEN BY THE UN TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES CAME FROM THE WORLD’S HELLHOLES.

They weren’t chosen to be our neighbors to because they were ‘yearning to be free’... they were chosen like payoffs...

Muslims are the American left’s mercenary army meant to murder and eliminate Americans. The left needs this surrogate army because the American left doesn’t have the martial skills or guts to carry out the murderous rampage themselves; they’re cowards.

This is why the left is unhinged with President Trump’s executive orders. Trump has effectively banned the entrance of these Muslim killers into America.

Soros’ warriors here to turn the Country BLUE!
Note exactly WHERE they are sent—just enough to turn the tide with their ILLEGAL voting.

Remember: voter IDs BE OPPRESSIVE to mahnorities.

Anti-American refugees seeking to transform our society and culture into a Balkanized hell are not welcome here.

My Blue Cross/Blue Shield notices arrive by mail, offering translations into a dozen languages. (Some of which are in their native cursive/stick figures).

Demand English-use throughout the industry.

The U.S. is gearing up for a full out war on ISIS
Trump has ordered the plans delivered within 30 days
Something which has not been fought by the previous administration
Just where do the hungers think the executioners torturers and slave sellers might go when the population is liberated and turns on them?
What revenge might this terror group take when it faces annihilation on the battlefields of SYRIA Iraq Yemen Sudan Somalia and more ?
Are expanded background checks of travelers from 7 terrorist sponsoring or infested nations worth saving American lives?
Common sense people, these progressive loons have none but we must stand string with the President
I am writing my congressional reps today even though they are among the walking dead of the democrat party

Immigrants should be safe, and an asset to the country. If they aren’t, they don’t need to come here.

Mindless twits.

It’s obvious their education is lacking some important basics.

If they have their way we will all end up living in fly blown mud hovels like starving Biafrans.

But they seem to believe the opposite.

In their leftist Utopian world the US economy is bottomless and we selfishly hoard wealth that rightfully belongs to the planet’s other 7 billion people.

If we would only eliminate our borders the entire world could have free college, free Obamacare, Obamaphones, new McMansions and a new Lexus in the garage.

There were thousands of Nazis who went to South America as refugees did they deserve special treatment?

Yes, and how strange that there are zero of these immigrants to Weston, MA, Lincoln, MA, and so many other rich Lib towns.

Muslims are the American left’s mercenary army meant to murder and eliminate conservative Americans, and the Christians the left despises. They need this surrogate army of savage killers because the American left is a bunch of stupid cowards. They don’t have the guts to carry out the murderous rampage...the plan to overthrow the US govt and install themselves into a govt of THEIR choosing.

Trump and his supporters are standing in the way of their utopian dreams.

Evil Hillary tipped her hand and revealed the left's plan, stupidly saying the America doesn't exist anymore.....something she desperately plans to make come true.

MUST DO---it is mandatory that we reconfigure the political language and archive the "code words" these evil people use to foment the overthrow.

Code words include..."Racism" "diversity" "Inequality," "zenophobic" "homophobic" "Islama-phobic" "globalism" "tolerance"......

The left's overthrow MO routinely dehumanizes those they disdain....as when Hillary called conservatives "deplorables."

All code for the lefties overthrow of the US govt----used incessantly to launch the overthrow.
