A fact
of life – those who have an investment in something, take better care of that
which they have invested in than those who don’t have an investment.
Case in
point; In general, parents who purchase automobiles and other things for their
children, find that their kids beat the crap out of those vehicles or other
items because the children didn’t have to work or sweat for that car or item.
Generally,
children whose parents make them get a job and buy their own car, see their
children take care of that car or item because the child knows what it takes to
purchase it.
As a
parent, I have seen this myself in my own kids. Again, this is pretty much the
rule, although I assume there are a few exceptions.
The
same holds true for our immigration policy. Those who come here illegally,
don’t feel the investment into our country the way someone who has gone through
all of the hoops does. How can they? How can they appreciate what it takes and
means to become a citizen of the United States? They break our laws right off
of the bat. They take away our ability to discern who we let in. I cannot think
of any other country that allows unrestricted immigration. In fact, as a
disabled man, I could not become a citizen of Canada unless I was very rich.
That is a fact! Canada will not take anyone they deem to be a burden on their
social services. Look it up if you think I’m kidding.
CNN ran
a story tonight wondering why so many Hispanics voted for Trump. The answer
they got over and over was that they themselves came here legally, and that
they have little sympathy for those who came here illegally. CNN just doesn’t
get it. Those who came here legally understand the investment in their
citizenship and they scoff at those not willing to make the same investment.
It’s like paying for something and watching someone else steal it.
This
argument has been terribly twisted by the left. This argument isn’t about
immigration as much as it’s about legal immigration. Trump has
never said that he would stop legal immigration. Regarding the Syrian
situation, Trump has never said that he would never take another Syrian again,
but would instead stop it until a system is in place to ensure that only those
who will come here and accept our laws and way of life, get in. What’s so wrong
about that?
Yes, my
family is a family of immigrants, but I can tell you for a fact, as I’ve done
the genealogy, my family came here legally, and I would expect all other
immigrants to come here legally too.
I
should add, the same thing can be said about our veterans. Our veterans have
paid the price for the American Flag and this is why you won’t see them out
there torching or stomping on the flag. Our veterans have an investment in that
flag and they take much better care of it than those who haven’t.
Guaranteed
– nearly every person who see burning or stomping on the American Flag have
never paid the price for it. That’s why they don’t take care of it.
