Sanctuary Schmanctuary and "Muslim Bans"

Why Do Liberals Support Sanctuary Cities and Unfettered Immigration?

So now we're listening to the left whine and CRY (Chuck Schumer.... really?) about what they purposely term a "Muslim ban", knowing well that it is a lie, in order to brainwash their ignorant constituents who can't be bothered to even wonder if what they're being fed by their leadership is even half true. I mean DUH! If it were a Muslim ban, we seem to be missing a few countries off that list of seven. Like maybe Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, to mention a few. Obviously the ban (a temporary one)  is on travel to the United States from those countries who A) have been known, in recent years, to train, harbor, support and export terrorism and B) whose civil structures are in current turmoil such that proper vetting of people from these countries is difficult or impossible. As I said.... DUHHH!

This policy is smart, necessary and the obligation of the President of the United States whose primary responsibility is to PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Anyone who disputes that doesn't know much about anything. In other words, they're stupid.

So! On to sanctuary cities! I can't wait to see what is going to happen with this one. Hopefully President Trump will cut off federal funds to these idiot mayors' cities and they will quickly be reminded that they are obligated to follow federal law, at least if they want any cooperation in terms of funding from the feds.

Why do liberals want sanctuary cities to remain in place, to remain hiding and harboring people who have purposely broken our laws and who, in many cases, continue to do so? Oh, that's an easy one! They know that most, more than 51 % (Welfare Use By Immigrant and Native Households by Steven A Camarota, Sep 2015) of immigrant households access government welfare programs. Even though illegal immigrants are technically not eligible for many of these programs, they are once they have their anchor baby in place. So, they know they can count on these voters (legal or illegal ones) to vote for them. Who can compete with Santa Claus, right?

Somehow, because this is in their minds, they find it acceptable to openly and purposefully defy federal laws which are clear and unambiguous. It is, frankly, outrageous. With regard to people who breach our borders to the south or those who wish to fly here from seven troubled countries abroad, NO ONE has a RIGHT to enter our country except for natural-born or naturalized citizens or legal residents (and legal residency can be revoked). It's called having a SOVEREIGN NATION. We have the right, as a country, to decide who comes in to our country, how many come and from where.

So what about whiny liberals who insist that we are "mean-spirited" because we won't allow unfettered access by the entire world to enter our country? First, there are much better ways to treat desperate people with kindness and compassion than granting them legal immigrant status. Most people from these seven temporarily banned countries, for example, would much rather remain in their own home countries, if it were possible, with regard to their safety and their ability to maintain their families. 

I believe that it is a much better idea to create safe zones and temporary refugee areas in or near these home countries, eventually leading to these families being able to resume normal lives in their homelands, than having them feel forced to flee to a strange country and have to adjust to a totally different culture and lifestyle in order to survive. I, for one, would be much more willing to accept federal spending to this end than I am to spend untold billions of tax payer dollars to support people who have purposely broken our laws to come here.

Not only that, but where is all the "compassion" for the millions of people, world-wide, who are waiting and hoping and waiting some more to gain LEGAL entry to the United States? People who have applied the RIGHT WAY and have to watch as millions of others simply sneak across the border or overstay their visas and get in ahead of them. How fair and "compassionate" is that?

The United States has the most generous immigration policy in the world, by far. We accept over one million LEGAL immigrants to our country EVERY YEAR. Is the system perfect? No, it can always be improved upon and that is something that definitely needs to be looked at. But our nation does NOT have to, nor should it, accept the lawlessness of sanctuary cities. Our country does NOT have to risk the safety of its citizens by allowing people from dangerous countries with no verifiable records available to simply come here and settle among us.

So stop whining, lefties! I guarantee you that if immigrant votes went primarily Republican, you wouldn't be so quick to welcome illegals to our shores. We know your game, and it's pathetic. Grow up, get real, and start actually caring more about human beings than your next election.
