Border enforcement must continue to be enhanced. We need more Border Patrol Agents and more Customs and Border Protection Officers. Money should be taken away from foreign aid which is just giving money to people who hate us more often than not.
In your family budget, you provide for the necessities first. You make sure the mortgage is paid on time so you and your family have a place to live and you don’t destroy your credit rating. You spend what you need to on food and clothing and school supplies.
But you postpone that cruise to the South Pacific until you can better afford it. You’ll save those incredible ocean vistas and tropical sunsets for another day. Paying the bills and making ends meet comes first.
This is the concept of deferred gratification. Unfortunately we have not yet learned it in managing our national economy as we have in our own individual homes.
We need to spend what we need to spend to secure our border. But that is not a total solution. Human traffickers and drug smugglers and potential terrorists will continue to overwhelm our border as long as they think they have a high rate of success.
The problem with drug abuse in this country is that where there is demand, there will be supply. Since the opium poppies and the coca leaves grow in other countries, that means that their derivatives will being smuggled into this country.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] priorities include assisting other nations in eradication of these illicit crops. Then Department of Homeland Security is responsible for enforcement to interdict smuggling of contraband at our border. But we are still missing the most important aspect of stopping this flow of harmful substances into our heartland to destroy our children.
The same situation exists with those who seek to illegally enter our country and disrespect our national sovereignty. No matter how much enforcement we put on the border, no matter how many walls we build, they will seek to evade or overwhelm.
We really need to determine when we will deal with this as an invasion. But we will never have U.S. Marines shooting everybody who crosses the Rio Grande illegally. So that’s not a realistic alternative.
To secure our border, we must reduce incentive. As long as Democrat politicians mischaracterize the invaders as victims rather than perpetrators, that will not happen. When demagogues ask why we are separating children from their parents, they should be asking why are irresponsible parents putting their vulnerable children into that situation in the first place.
Any pathway to citizenship sends the wrong message. Even the realization that they will be allowed to remain legally at some point will just increase those who come here the wrong way. Only if they know they will be repelled at the border and not allowed in will they not bother coming at all.
An example of a legitimate refugee is a Christian such as Asia Bibi who is persecuted by the Islamic government of her own country Pakistan. Those who just don’t like the living conditions in Central America do not qualify.
The U.S. Congress should amend all statutes to ensure that anyone who enters other than at a legal Port of Entry will be immediately sent back across the border. No processing, not anything. Just escort them back to the border and watch them cross back into Mexico or Canada.
If either of those countries does not cooperate, then our entire bilateral relationship with each must be re-evaluated. We need strong leaders. But the legislative branch is populated mostly by wimps and self-serving opportunists. Unless we elect better Senators and Representatives, this national crisis will never be resolved.
The root of our problem is the moral decay of America. As long as we ignore the spiritual emptiness of so many of our citizens, they will escape from the meaninglessness of their world through illicit drugs.
If we do not avail ourselves of the opportunity to create a decent society, we will be ruled by people of no core values who will do or say whatever will keep them in office. We can offer border solutions till we’re blue in the face. But until we put out the unwelcome mat for all those who jump the immigration queue, it will all be talk and nothing else.
Appeasement is always seen as a sign of weakness. That was the case with Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain. That is the case with Islamic terrorists who seek our destruction. This also applies to the hordes of people poised to rush our border.
Only our superior strength is a deterrent. Strength is moral as well as physical. Our Founders attributed our national well-being to Divine Providence. Our only hope is to rediscover those values that have sustained us and to elect only those men and women who will act upon them.
Will you help revive the American Conservative Movement?
Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
If they knew there was a wall that they couldn’t cross, that would help. If they knew that there were no jobs, place to live, no food to eat, they wouldn’t come. E-Verify should be enforced. Employers hiring illegals should go to jail. We all want to be nice. But no way can we take the entire world in here to live.
Yep. It’s one thing to be compassionate (nice). It’s another thing to be suckers (also nice). We’re being suckers, which is why the endless flow of migrants has no intention of slowing. It’s only going to get worse until we change the laws, equip border patrol, and build the wall.
