This whole immigration thing has gotten out of hand and I think it is time to press the reset button. President Trump is about to order the closure of the southern border due to this migrant caravan coming through Mexico from Honduras. Well, that’s not right. The caravan, which is the media’s word, is actually a mob. And they are not coming over and begging for asylum. They are storming the border and throwing rocks at border patrol. Just the kind of people we want in our country!
Anyway, the illegal aliens, which they are, attempted to force their way over the border near San Diego. The border patrol, trying to break up the riot, shot tear gas into the crowd. Some did get through and they were quickly arrested.
Now, as one would expect, the media had a field day with this. They pointed out that it was against international law to use tear gas during war and here was Trump, using it against those poor immigrants.A picture of a woman fleeing the tear gas with child in hand was post and went viral on Twitter, showing her running away from the tear gas. Another woman was interviewed saying that men, women and children were fainting because of the tear gas. Donald Trump, in response to the violence, closed the border and threatened to close it permanently.
Sigh, I think it is time to put all this into a little bit of perspective. If we do something as dangerous as use a little reason, we might see that this was not so bad and is all necessary. And then we might see Trump’s idea of closing the border (though not permanently) might not be such a bad idea.
First, this “caravan” is an organized political stunt. That isn’t conspiracy theory, that is fact. It was organized by Left wing globalists to influence the midterm elections and make Trump and those heartless Republicans look cruel and brutal. What’s more, the Mexican government (a substantial portion of Mexico’s income comes from U.S. money sent to it from illegal aliens in the United States). How do I know it was organized? Well, they made it through Mexico, illegally, to the border in about three weeks (Mexico hates illegal immigrants into their country). They had food, water and transportation. Someone had to pay for that. So to sit there and think this was not a concerted effort to usurp our laws and is just naive.
The news media, once again, has blown this whole thing completely out of proportion. We are using tear gas on these poor people, something we are not allowed to do during war. People are passing out from the tear gas all because they want to claim asylum. But that racist, bigoted, misogynist, puppy-kicking Donald Trump won’t let them in.
But the biggest problem is the media ignored that this was a problem in the first place – per their talking points for the last two years. They said this caravan was not large and would not be here for weeks. It started arriving a few days after that. They said that it was made of families so there were a lot of women and children. Turns out it is between 80% to 90% (conservatively) are men. They said that these people were fleeing war-torn countries to get asylum in the United States. There is no war that anyone is aware of, in Guatemala or Honduras. Most left to find work and refused asylum in Mexico, which, legally speaking, is what they are suppose to be doing. They said there were no criminals. The Mexican government admitted there were, at least 500 with felony records including murder. The lies go on and on.
Hey, I love immigrants. My father is an immigrant from Germany. My girlfriend is an immigrant from Mexico. I think most people love immigrants. But to call illegal aliens immigrants is very misleading. It is a cliche by now but it bears repeating: a country without borders and laws protecting those borders is not a country. We have a right as citizens and the government has the responsibility to vet anyone coming into this country to verify they deserve to be here and will help this country. No one from a foreign country has a “right” to be here, just like I don’t have a right to be in any other country without permission.
So, what do I think about a bunch of people that want to barge into our country and assault our border patrol being hit with a little tear gas. Screw them. And God bless the people that are putting their lives on the line to keep these people out of our country.
And, as far as the woman in the picture above? No one questions what kind of mother she is for putting her children in that type of danger. People like this are exactly the type of people I don’t want in this country.
