I have been observing the world wide problem of "refugees" and listening to the liberal press scream that we have to do something to "help" them. While I agree that conditions in many of the places in the world are horrible beyond belief, in many cases the resources are present to improve the conditions, and in some cases to create a great country. Southern Africa comes to mind at once. The Union of South Africa and Rhodesia used to be two of the most productive countries in the world. Tribal , religious conflicts and sheer bad management have nearly destroyed them. Probably the worlds richest resource endowed area is the old "Belgium Congo" and at this time most of the area can not maintain a stable government nor keep the infrastructure running and does not use or develop these resources. The conflicts in northern Africa are about to come to a head and may well destroy Europe as we know it. The sheeple are fleeing from , pick one or more of the following, war, ISIS, religious persecution, poverty, disease, discrimination, ect, and arriving in the millions. They do not want to stay in Greece or Hungry or any of the poor countries. They want to go to Germany, England, France, Sweden or one of the countries with a great welfare system and a history of tolerance. The sheeple do not want to assimilate into the host country, learn the language, adopt the common religion, adopt the common moral and legal code, learn a trade or get a job. Instead they seem to end up in enclaves where they try to recreate the society that they left, usually a failed society I might add, and scream about poverty, discrimination, losing their rights to the law as described in the Koran, and how they do not have to conform to the local codes of how a citizen acts. France, Sweden, and England come to mind. The new sheeple is a citizen of the world,per the pope, the UN, and the left media, and have the right to go where he wishes and be supported as he desires, have as many children as he wants, and it is racial and cultural discrimination to expect him to assimilate into the host country. Germany is not capable of maintaining their high standard of living and their high culture if X million "refugees" arrive, 1 million this year and millions more to come if allowed. We live in a lifeboat with limited resources and if we allow all to board, we may all die. In New Hampshire, we have had many waves of immigrants over the last 300 years, English, Scotch, French, Italian, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Chinese, and about every other country in the world. Up to about 20 years ago, they all became us, learned our language, listened to our radio and tv, went to our schools and learned our culture, and disappeared into our world. Some groups resisted this more than others, but they all did it. Starting a few years back it all changed. Now my hated cable tv has the options that allow me to live in rural New Hampshire and stay fully immersed in another culture and raise my children in that culture and any attempt to introduce them to my culture, the 10 commandments come to mind, is forbidden. They however insist on my great grand children being taught about their culture as a needed diversity. Ask my Lakota forefathers how well it went when the fur traders were replaced by the farmers and the natives became the minority. I am afraid that the lines of drift have been established, mostly north, and the sheeple are arriving world wide. We do not have to wait for the collapse, it is happening now, and while as individuals they each have a very good reason to be here and may be wonderful beautiful people, as a group, the past and present sheeple are destroying our common western civilization. I guess I am just to old to resist and should do the "right thing" and accept it and go quietly into the night. Like He** I will!
I am all for legal immigration of people with skills that want to come to this country and become part of our society. Bobby Jindal's parents come to mind as an example of this. They raised their kids to be part of our culture not just the culture of their "old country". He also made a decision to be an American first even though his ethnicity is Indian. Unfortunately, we are ending up with too many people who want to come here and still be something else first NOT American. We don't need those kinds of immigrants.
Immigration? More like a silent invasion force. What better way to subvert a society in preparation of a New Caliphate? Load the courts and political positions with people tolerant of the koran/quran/q'uaran...whatever the hell the spelling is this week...and implement laws that criminalize the non-islamic. Bingo - open door policy for takeover. I know DirecTv lost a customer the day they slid al-jazeera USA into the lineup. I refuse to support the enemy.
I've noticed their Arab "brothers" aren't accepting any refugees....like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, etc. The Arab world’s wealthiest nations are doing next to nothing for Syria’s refugees - The Washington Post Kajun
Did you notice in those pics and videos that most of them were young Muslim males? Prolly only 1 in 50 were women and children. Security alert. The cowards need to turn and fight instead of leaving their families if they are legit
Amazing how if you place your culture, your religious beliefs ,or your heritage first, you are a racist or it is cultural imperalism or it is politically incorrect, but if they do it , it is "diversity" and multi cultural and politically correct. I can not see the US of 40 years ago putting a woman in jail for the crime of not signing off on a marriage license.
What really ticks me off about this is 1) we imprison her but not the mayor's of sanctuary cities or INS for defying the law in deportation. There is a double standard being applied. From a legal perspective I think she doesn't have the right to refuse to issue license and I admire her convection of sticking to her principles. She was polite in the face of the bullying and ridicule those guys threw at her and I admire her for her behavior in that respect. We say in this country we are discouraging bullying and yet those men were allowed to bully her for saying no. It's disgraceful, this double standard
Some on the left in Germany are insisting that the US take a bunch of the refugees since this whole middle eastern situation is our "fault". Well one giant raspberry to them . Europe has had a free ride on us since the end of WWII as we supplied them with military service and protection since then, and we still do so at our expense. What did they do? Used their savings to start a socialist government where everyone is a dependent.
According to UN calculations, the US should be taking 45% of all refugees no matter where from. The numbers that they say we should accomodate fails to account for the illegals that are trying to claim refugee status that are already invading us.
I'm am totally ok with wide open immigration to Canada.... Once we have conquered homelessness, have 1% unemployment, $0 debt, gov budget surplus, free beer and poutine kiosks and have successfully cloned intelligent unicorns to populate our moon bases. Until then.....lock the boarder down...especially to those thugs to the south. ';p MG
Go South for tacos please, due to our trade agreements with China and Russia we have a substantial cheese curd shortage and are unable to supply any to 'murica at this time and are unwilling to negotiate with Trump or Bernie. Thank you for your understanding.
Sorry...electing "actors" and "wwf/wwe" wrestlers to be the "leaders of the free world" doesn't work for me. Stay off mah land, keep your lobbyists out of my countries business....and your hand out of my pockets. (respectfully - as much as possible anyway)
