Liberals’ View of Immigration Borders on Criminal Insanity
So, what is it with our lefty friends? Is it that they are simply intellectually incapable of extending some goofy policy choice to its logical conclusion? You would certainly think so.
We all know some of these people. Take amnesty for illegal immigrants, for example. Ask a liberal and they will tell you they are absolutely in favor of it. Then ask them why. They will tell you that, if you are asking the question, you are just too ignorant to understand the answer.
If you do get an answer out of one of them, it will be that these illegal immigrants have been here for a long time and have families (also here illegally). Excuse me? I mean, we are still dragging 95-year-old Nazi prison camp guards out of nursing homes and shipping them off clutching oxygen tanks, and no lefty is complaining about that. Unless, of course, we are shipping them off to Israel.
But these Nazi prison camp guards are war criminals, and illegal immigrants are not criminals, right? Well, some of them are. In fact, some are dangerous criminals, but hey, not MY roofer, or MY yard guy or MY painter. Duh, how do you know?
Break a Law, Get Rewarded
A kid sneaks into a movie house, gets caught and gets bounced. I don’t think my “progressive” friends would get all that exercised and call the ACLU about this. But, following the progressive’s logic, if the kid can make it all the way through the movie without getting caught, he is entitled to a Free Pass – FOR LIFE! And, if he doesn’t get it, THEN you call the ACLU
Does that seem like apples-to-apples to you? It does to me. Well, they say these people work hard (and they ARE hard workers) and work at jobs American citizens don’t want to do. Unfortunately, there is truth in this.
Cut off the unemployment compensation, disability payments and all the other welfare handouts politicians use to buy votes, and I bet we’d see a lot more American citizens mowing our lawns, swinging hammers and toting shovels. Probably not doing as good a job at it, though.
What about the illegal immigrants who aren’t working but are living on welfare in California? I would say California has a problem, and I bet Californians wish that was their only problem!
Liberal Logic Knows No Borders
How do these liberals work their way around to the idea that we in the USA somehow OWE something to people from other countries? Particularly people from other countries who snuck in here while Obama’s Border Patrol wasn’t looking – because it was ORDERED not to look – instead of standing in line like every other immigrant has done since about 1819.
But, we are a nation of immigrants, they say. Sure we are. Unless you happen to be a Native American, every one of us has an immigrant in our woodpile. But we are a nation of LEGAL immigrants who had wait our turn, register and report our whereabouts and circumstances annually until we qualified for citizenship according to the laws.
We are a nation of laws, aren’t we? These people sneaking through the Arizona desert have absolutely nothing in common with Grandpa Luigi. So, don’t give me this “nation of immigrants” crap.
It’s All About the Kids
But, they are just little children, they say, little children who are victims of privation, violence, poor dental hygiene and bad toilets in their home countries. Right. Are you kidding me? If liberals want to save children from privation, violence, poor dental hygiene and bad toilets, they need to start with Africa.
As far as kids are concerned, Somalia makes Honduras look like Disney World. Much as we would like to, we simply cannot take all these children in. And guess what. If Obama had established a strict no-entry policy in the first place, we wouldn’t have this huge influx of children and others pouring over the border.
That is exactly what I mean when I say your regular lefty is intellectually incapable of following some goofy policy choice to its logical extension. When a liberal friend busts your hump if you complain about these thousands of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children being dumped all over the country, ask him how many he is putting up at his house. If the answer is none, offer to call the White House and tell them your friend will take a baker’s dozen.
Liberals try to ignore any and all indications that the terminology of illegal alien describes what they are. They broke our laws getting here and were pampered by the prior administration to the point of free healthcare, food stamps, free education, and welfare. All help that is supposed to be for citizens, not law breakers.
Hey, Frank? You sell me a lot of food and I’m a liberal and I have a view on immigration. My people are from northern Nova Scotia. We’re Miq Maq Indians. I stood with the Native Americans at Standing Rock as the shiny white folk blasted us with high power cold water hoses, literally blasting children right off their feet. The debris they said we left? Did you see what was in the trucks? Clothes, toys, tents, blankets, food … they ran us out at gunpoint with hoses trained on us and when we have tried to go back and get our things that we had to leave behind, they arrested us for rioting. And a murmur went through that crowd that is gaining volume. If you’re not native, you’re an immigrant. Why should we tolerate you? You came here with weapons and diseases and burned our villages down and murdered our women and children. But we were here first. You came to unseat us. So you are the immigrants. Somehow I have to wonder why you are so opposed to refugees coming to this country rather than staying home and being tortured to death. Some of you came here for just that reason. You remember the Puritans. They came here seeking religious freedom. But now we want an entire faith group blocked from our shores even though we can’t find any evidence that the ones we turn away are terrorists. What if your people had been turned away. How many of you came here as WWII heated up? How many of you came here because there was no hope where you lived? Yes, I am a liberal. And I think the conservatives are being swept away on a tide of hysteria that blocks rational thought. You were an immigrant and I imagine most of you are Christians, too. Remember that rule? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Liberal doesn’t mean stupid. In most cases, it means social conscience. Where’s yours? Did Mr. Trump’s rhetoric shut down your compassion and loose hatred and racism in you? And by the way, if that pipeline goes through the reservation, it will cut off their entire water supply and violate a federal treaty. But that doesn’t matter, right? They’re just Indians.
The atrocities committed against Native Americans are unforgivable, and we would never try to justify them. But we are not against immigration. In fact, we are 100 percent in favor of it. What we are against is illegal immigration.
@Jade Kaufman–Typical liberal hysteria. You want to go back to a time when there was NO IMMIGRATION LAW WHATSOEVER. It was a free border society in the early days. As we became a nation of laws this Nation passed immigration laws and you leftists think they should not be upheld. We cannot go back and unring the bell. What happened to the Indians is regrettable but not undoable. The same thing with slavery. It can not be undone either. HOWEVER, noneof these things means that we should not enforce our immigration laws NOW. It is you liberals that have been swept away by a tide of hysteria. Ever since you lost the election in November 2016 you people have become even more psychotic then you were before the election. Liberal DOES mean stupid and irrational. Compassion has nothing to do with it. This is not a racism issue. It is one of LAWS. This is something you liberals will NEVER understand. You do not care one iota about facts. You only care about your “feelings”.
Trump i believe will address the water problem, cut the red tapeour military had to deal with. Andhopefully procecute hillary not for the emails but embassy betrail.
The “Progtessive” movement started in 1913 Federal Reserve and direct election of senators. Is realy a movement to destroy the Republic. Our only hope is to get educated about the differences between our Republic and a democracy. The government indoctrimation is to become a democracy ( think banana republic ).
Hard to believe that our laws are not enforced to protect our country.
Yep, that’s what it comes down to. What is so difficult to understand about the word “illegal”?
I agree with you 100 percent.
All I can think of to say is, good point!
