So……Trump’s immigration plans are working
Fearful immigrants in U.S. make perilous winter crossing to seek protection in Canada
The migrants staggered into this sleeping border town before dawn, cold and exhausted.
They had struggled through farm fields for hours in knee-deep snow, hoping to evade detection by the U.S. Border Patrol. A man cradling a baby wrapped in a puffy parka and gray blanket peered anxiously at the darkened clapboard homes.
“Is this Canada?†he asked.
The tiny community of Emerson — population less than 700 — has seen its share of U.S. “border jumpers†over the years, but nothing like this. Until last year, residents might spot five or six strangers passing through town over the odd weekend, carrying backpacks and looking disheveled.
But since President Trump was elected last year on promises to crack down on illegal immigration and conduct “extreme vetting†of Muslims, the numbers have surged. Recently, at least 22 people sneaked across the border near Emerson in a single night, including the man with the baby, who said he was from Djibouti.
Canada is welcome to them. They can then learn what it’s like for crime to spike, identities to be stolen and lives ruined, emergency rooms overrun and unable to help legal citizens, wages deflated, money for citizens going to take care of illegals who demand education, welfare, healthcare, places to live, and citizenship, all while refusing to assimilate and learn the language and customs.
Of course, there are more than enough sob stories, including two who came from Ghanna
But after making treacherous overland journeys to the U.S. from Brazil, they did not receive the welcome they expected. They were both detained the moment they showed up without passports at the San Ysidro border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana.
Iyal was placed in handcuffs and chains — standard procedure — for the flight to a detention facility in Arizona. “I was crying, ‘What is going on?’†he said. “Am I a criminal, or am I a terrorist or what?â€
Yes, you are a criminal. You came here illegally intentionally. You weren’t asked. You weren’t invited. You didn’t attempt to come legally and apply for legal status. Lots of people have lots of sob stories when they break the law, but, oh well. They made a choice.
You know, a few here and there is fine and dandy. Then the numbers keep growing, and suddenly there are millions living outside the law causing problems.
100 million Americans exceed the speed limit on our freeways every day, 5 days a week. Thousands of Americans die from the criminality. Yet we ignore these criminals but stop families coming to America for a better life?
No they don’t. You’re projecting your own disregard for the law.
So we should bring in foreigners to commit more? Are you really that stupid?
Are you suggesting law enforcement does not give out tickets for speeding nor arrest criminals? Law enforcement “ignores” crime? You’re an idiot!
And families have no right to come to America for a better life. Let them stay and fix their own countries rather than screw up ours. However we DO have a right to deny anybody from coming here and we should be very, very picky. We already have too many assholes like you we don’t need more.
Again hypocrite, when are YOU taking in an immigrant family? Take in an immigrant family Jeffery and Make America Great Again. Put up or shut up!
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!â€
Are you actually suggesting America’s immigration policy should be based on a romanticized poem rather than what is beneficial to America? No wonder you stupid children overwhelmingly lost the last election.
And exactly how many refugees and/or immigrants do you have living in your home?
How much extra did you pay in for invasions you supported?
Hoggie, Should we just scuttle the Statue of Liberty then?
We don’t have to “scuttle” anything. However, people ignorant of history such as yourself need to realize things today are not the same as 1885 when we received the Statue of Liberty. First, in 1885 people could not come here, not work and get welfare, healthcare etc like they can today. Second, most people came to live with a family member or sponsor so they were not a burden on society like they are today. Third, they came through LEGALLY and were
denied entry if they were criminals or mentally ill or deficient, had disease or for ANY other reason were found to be undesirable for immigration to the U.S. That included, race and religion and lack of ability to self support (handicapped).
Here’s a nice immigrant for you to house.
