Each month, as many as tens of thousands stream across our southern border from Central American countries without obtaining legal status. Thousands are unaccompanied alien children who have completed a perilous journey before even having reached the Rio Grande.
All Americans can agree that this is a problem. Our immigration system is broken.
From the numbers, we know that America is the most generous country in the world. Through our nation’s legal immigration process, we welcome well over a million immigrants—people who follow the correct immigration process and abide by our laws—into America each year.
Despite this generosity, we have a severe problem with illegal immigration. As we consider the ongoing crisis on our southern border, it is fair to ask how we got to this point.
From recent media coverage, many Americans have criticized President Donald Trump’s pursuit of a “zero tolerance” immigration policy. Yet throughout American history, there is significant evidence that this kind of “enforcement first” policy deters people from attempting dangerous journeys to reach American borders.
Let’s look back at the path that has brought us to today’s crisis.

I totally agree 100%.
ReplyDeleteThe REAL amount of illegals here is staggering...the 10-12 million number we usually see thrown out is false...the ICE guys that work in the trenches say it is easily times that number...perhaps more...Selbyville is particularly bad...I almost feel that I am in a foreign country when I stop by the store...at least half of all people are speaking Spanish...
ReplyDeleteI hate to be the bearer of bad news but English isnt the only language in the world. If merely hearing another language is enough to set you off then you have some deeper issues.
DeleteHow many times that number? Quit spreading this crap with no facts
DeleteSorry Anon 8:00 AM - I think Anon 5:01 AM is trying to say that there is an unusually high number of Spanish speaking people in the Selbyville area nowadays. Where before, there were not so many. Salisbury too has become inundated with non-English speaking individuals. Particularly those of Spanish-speaking countries and followed by those who appear to have Middle-Eastern tongues. I feel that your statement doesn't make sense in this context. The poster did not say anything negative, he/she only said that they felt as if they were in a foreign country due to being surrounded by so many Spanish-speaking people. Just go to any Walmart and you'll see for yourself.

ReplyDeleteWe only want to hear English language here in America.
Thank you
It's not about the language. Its about how much the U.S. taxpayers are paying for illegals section 8 housing, EBT/food stamps for food, free education, free medicare, free disability and etc. Illegal immigrants are killing our economy. And, the federal government knows it. We can spend all of that money on U.S. citizens, homeless, addicts, children, veterans, and elders
