The migrant caravan has been at the epicenter of the news for the last couple of weeks. It has been both lauded and vilified by members of the Democrats and Republicans respectively. It has once again stoked the fires of the debate on illegal immigration.
Illegal immigration is a topic which is highly divisive and controversial in the United States. There are those who would love nothing more than to abolish ICE and permit anyone and everyone into the country. Others would rather tighten border security, namely by building a wall.
Whichever side you are on, there is no refuting the simple and irrevocable fact that this migrant caravan is ILLEGAL.
Yes, you heard me. The migrant caravan is a symbol of lawlessness and the utter and complete disregard for the laws of the United States of America.
The migrant caravan, more akin to a Mongol horde is slowly and steadily creeping its way up to the borders of the United States. Should they be able to breach our border we will all be paying the costs that they will incur. As such, it is truly astounding how people have protested President Trump’s decision to dispatch troops to the border to keep them out. The cost of keeping troops at our southern border is minuscule compared to what the horde would cost us if they are allowed in.
I’m all for immigration, LEGAL immigration. We are a nation of laws, laws that need to be respected and followed. Under the former administration we have set a terrible precedent for this. We have set the example that you need only to sneak across the border and you’ll eventually be given citizenship. Under the previous administration, we’ve spat on those who have applied for immigration legally. In doing so, we’ve encouraged more and more people to enter our country and violate our laws.
I urge all my fellow Americans to expose the horde for what it is. A ploy by the insidious left to get more future voters. We need to come together as Americans and unanimously agree that illegal immigration is of the utmost importance to our country. We have to demand tighter borders and a no tolerance approach to those who spit upon our laws and enter our home of the free and the brave.
Far too simplistic and strident, my friend, more compassion is needed. This is a humanitarian crisis, not a security issue. Laws are made, by humans, and broken by humans. What is required, here, is for hearts to break open, and for immigrants (especially) legal or otherwise, to have heart. America continues to spit on the rights of natural citizens, American Indians, people of color while raping and murdering throughout the world. Don't fool yourself with this silly propaganda and give in to fear-mongering. What free, what brave... Don't believe the hype.
While I partially agree that this is not a black and white issue, there's no other way of handling this situation. If we let the caravan in, it sets the precedent for more to form. At the end of the day if we did nothing, all of Central America would be in the United States.
so long as we don't promote hate and keep our hearts clean, we shall be able to address this unfortunate situation, in a more sober manner.
_/|\_Do you believe there exists a solution to not only this caravan but future caravans?
I'm deeply saddened by Trump presidency and those who do his bidding, by promoting fear and hate, so you'll forgive me if I pass this and your comments about women in congress, etc... in silence. Take care
