By now most Americans, for or against, get the idea. All an individual or family need do to live in America, and off the avails of the American taxpayer, is to arrive at an approved port of entry and “lodge a legal claim to stay.”
That’s it.
The same understanding animates an entire, parasitical industry that has arisen to coach the claimants in their claims-making.
The refugee and illegal-migrant racket sprung-up on the backs of the American people is Third World cronyism at its best. “The Trump administration plans to pay a Texas nonprofit nearly half a billion dollars, this year, to care for immigrant children who were detained crossing the U.S. border illegally, reports Bloomberg.”
Did you vote for that?
Brazen border-crossers “rarely hide from border agents,” for they know the rules of the game are that there aren’t any rules. Not for them, not for the lawless.
The law-abiding pay.
The profits from the immigration industry, material and political, are privatized; the costs are socialized.
It has taken a president, in the person of Donald J. Trump, and his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, to expose for all to see a shameful, likely irreversible, fact: American birthright has been frittered away for a mess of pottage.
In exchange for throwing America open to The World, Americans get crime, poverty, unemployment, depressed wages; environmental despoliation; overburdened public services, and zero comity and harmony across their communities.
Or, more like hate. For to oppose this transformative political give-away is to be branded a hater and be hounded, at home, by a Fifth Column of values-enforcers.
There’s no finessing it. This selling of the patrimony and heritage of Americans is theft, plain and simple.
There is no hiding it. Peddling of stolen goods for political favors is the handiwork of political representatives, of legislators.
Through legislative sleight-of-hand and international treaty making American politicians have incrementally robbed a people of their national and territorial sovereignty, as well as their shared identity.
As another patriot, broadcaster Tucker Carlson, put it, nobody voted to change the country thus.
These treacherous “elites vie to see who can reach the greatest heights of rhetorical excess and self-righteous posturing,” spat Tucker in disgust.
His philippic was over a sickeningly sanctimonious press, convulsing over kids detained at the border, in accordance with US law, to which the whole thing is an event, a happening. Mere mortals, like Trump’s Deplorables, must look up to—and learn from—these avatars of morality.
To cap it all, in Trump translation: We have the crappiest, most liberal immigration laws.
He has tried. The president has valiantly attempted to save America.
“During Trump’s first nine months in office,” bemoans the neoliberal Economist, “arrests for immigration violations were 42 percent higher than they were during the same period in Barack Obama’s last year. Non-border deportations rose 25 percent in fiscal 2017. Deportations of illegal immigrants who have committed no other crime, and who were not a priority in the Obama era, nearly tripled. Refugee admissions had plummeted. This fiscal year 16 percent of them are Muslim, compared with 42 percent a year ago.”
For this reason—and with Ahab-like zeal—has the establishment gone after Trump. Only when he is politically annihilated will this establishment rest. Hence the manufactured crisis at the border.
Before the border setback, White House officials had been “drafting a package which would, among other things, make it easier to deport children who arrive alone at the border.”
As had ICE agents increased their presence at courthouses, vowing to use courthouse arrests for “specific, targeted aliens” with criminal records, gang affiliations or removal orders, or who pose national security threats.
But now it’s, “The kids, the kids”: Members of the chattering class, the noise makers, have been tripping over one another to prove each one of them is on the side of the angels.
Magnificently did Tom Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, stand up to the sniveling, manipulative media with facts about the law and the right of national sovereignty.
And, what do you know? They, in the person of the Wolf Blitzer prototype, crumbled, apologetically. Alas, too many flabby, lickspittle Republicans are too dumb and devious to have figured out that a backbone, and fidelity to just law, frightens Democrats more than anything.
To the horror of one CNN practitioner of yellow journalism—sensational, sentimental, never impartial—the removal of kids into the care of the more responsible adult cohort was working.
From Honduras came a CNN report that at least one Honduran parent of sound judgment would not be embarking on the journey to the US. A net-positive, however, was framed as a negative by the network’s activists-cum-reporters.
Henpecked at home, from within the White House, President Trump has begun to relent on zero-tolerance at the Southern border and has issued an enabling executive order. Enabling because bad parents will continue to deploy children as human shields to gain entry into the US.
Yes, it’s unfortunate that children are born into disorganized, chaotic families. But a child is either the responsibility of his parents or of the state.
The judicial trend of the state as parens patriae has seen the family usurped by the state as the primary socialization agent. The state-as-parent is the purview of progressives, not conservatives.
Parents who put kids is such precarious a predicament are unfit. Why, then, are unfit parents fit to become Americans?
If someone is caught stealing candy bars... they are separated from their kids. There is no place for kids in facilities designed for criminal adults.
I keep thinking of registering over at DU and starting in on them about how I'm the only real environmentalist on the board, since they all want more people living the American lifestyle, while everyone knows what a destructive lifestyle it is, and why would any real environmentalist want that?
The cognitive dissonance would be beautiful, right up until I got banned out of there within 8 hours or so for calling them out.
Along with millions of other Americans, it is clear to me that America is being invaded by a subsidized globalist establishment for the purpose of destroying this Republic and installing their own world govt. Pres Trump has drawn out the traitors within our own country and exposed the dangerous situation that leads to the loss of our freedom and independence as articulated in the constitution which is the foundation for American independence. The reckoning for the traitors who continue to escalate their betrayal of America and it’s citizens will not be benign. They are riding high now but are not impervious to retribution from their victims.
God bless Pres Trump and those who are working with him to restore our govt to a responsible institution that serves this Republic of WE THE PEOPLE.
not the point. kids cannot be held more than 20 days. if they are with their parents then the parents have to be released too.
The LEFT are trying to force a return to catch and release, ie open borders.
This is not about the children.
Any time the left claims its about “the children”... it is not about the children.
STOP ALL IMMIGRATION FOR A DECADE! Let ICE control the border. That’s their job!
ICE does not control the border, that’s the job of the BP.
The Bush’s and their globalist clones demand a North American Union. And they will have it if Patriots remain weak. If we show up at midterms victorious we might save the USA and help the EU to continue it’s crumble.
Title is misplaced or, ill-chosen.
“PDJT I’d Saving American”
That is a better title for sure.
From experience I can say that DU will tag and expel you within minutes of hitting ENTER to your first post.
I read a book sort of like that scenario, The Turner Diaries. Didn’t end happily.
I thought that schiffhole went dark after President Trump was elected...
A decade?
Try 50 years minimum.
60 million flooded into our country in the last 45 years. Maybe more, we don’t know.
Not in any of our history has something like that happened, not in any nations history.
The country is now unrecognizable from 1965. People who are our sworn enemies occupy positions of power, and have no history in our country.
The gates should have slammed shut 40 years ago.
You are right. I misspoke.
