Why are we not demanding that the laws for asylum into the United States be changed? What are these lawyers and others who are promoting illegal entry or any kind of entry into the United States, gaining from encouraging these people to come into our country? Who and what are the organizations and what do they hope to get from encouraging this entry?
What are our grandchildren and great-grandchildren going to say when they grow up and find out that we let their country be given away? If people have the right to come into our country because of our asylum laws, why can’t all the people who are living along the roads of California come to your home, my home, and say that they have a right to come into our homes because they need asylum, and that they and their children are in danger living on the highways of California and many other states?
What are we doing to diminish the futures of many of the children of The United States of America? Why is it that we are more concerned with the children, and adults, of foreign countries than with our own native-born people of The United States? What are we doing for the children of America who desperately need personalized care in our schools to help them succeed? Why are the groups so willing to help the people invading our country, not willing to help the kids living on the highways, the kids in the Deep South, the kids in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore? And how about the homeless people and children here in Hawaii, why do they deserve less than the people storming our border?
The United States of America must change the law. I don’t know what percentage of the population of the world is now trying to get asylum in the United States but it certainly is exponentially larger now than it was when these laws were enacted. The mobility of the world population has also increased exponentially in the years since this law was enacted.
The horrors that are happening in Europe are not spoken of in the media of the United States. I do not want that in my country. If you will read the blogs of Middle East Forum, Gatestone Institute and FeedBlitz and others, you will get a truer picture of what happens to a country’s culture when millions of refugees, who do not want to assimilate but want to turn the country that you love into the kind of country that they just came from, are left to run rampant over the country’s own people.
It seems to me that there is some nefarious reason that this push to open the doors to the people storming our border is being shoved down our throats. We have legal ways to immigrate to the United States and perhaps if the government were not so busy taking in all these asylum seekers and refugees they would have time to process the people who are willing to do it legally.
