You Design U.S. Immigration Policies!



President Donald Trump and the Democratic leadership are at loggerheads over immigration.

The president wants a wall, and merit-based immigration. Democrats want open borders. What’s your solution?

Who would you allow to enter our country? Would you require that immigrants be literate? Would you require that immigrants be able to speak English? At least, broken-English?

Would you accept immigrants who believe Catholic Canon Law should be the supreme law of the land? Who believe Sharia Law should be the supreme law of the land?

Would you require that immigrants should be able to support themselves?

Would you accept immigrants who will not be able to support themselves, and who will immediately go on welfare? Is it the duty of taxpaying Americans to provide the new immigrants with free housing? Free food? Free medical care? Free schooling through high school? Free college?

Are you comfortable with accepting immigrants with no job skills who will compete for low income jobs with Americans who lack job skills? If you flood the job-market with immigrants with no job skills, will you depress wages? Make it harder for Americans with no or minimal job skills to find employment?

Would you accept immigrants who believe America is an evil country? The “Great Satan?” 

Would you accept immigrants who have no desire to assimilate? Who come to create in America a somewhat better version of the country from which they just emigrated?

Would you accept immigrants with criminal records for murder, robbery, burglary, rape, gun crimes, thefts, manslaughter? Would you accept immigrants who are drug dealers? Who have made a living transporting cocaine into the USA? Heroin? Who have worked for foreign drug cartels?

Would accept immigrants who have made their living by smuggling illegal aliens into the U.S. or come to America to fly airliners into our great buildings or drive a truck into a crowd of children? To plant pressure-cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon, etc.?

Are you willing to admit immigrants who believe their “religion” requires them to kill heretics? Apostates? Americans of different faiths? To replace courts within our judicial system with courts that make their religious law the supreme law of the land?

With open borders and no wall, how would you propose to keep our "undesirable immigrants" you do not believe should be allowed in this country? Or are there no "undesirable immigrants, "as far as you’re concerned?

Should America open its borders to all, and concern itself with terrorism, heroin and cocaine sales, and criminal conduct only after the fact? Should we leave such matters exclusively to our criminal justice system after the crimes have been committed and perpetrators have been caught?

Or should our country be pro-active to prevent terrorism, drugs sales, and criminal misconduct at the hand of immigrants by carefully vetting, to keep such immigrants out of our country altogether?

As you consider each of the questions, ask yourself whose policies are better for dealing with these issues? The Democratic solution is keep the borders open! Therefore, a wall is unnecessary. Accept anybody who wants to come, any distant relative of anybody who is already here. Keep the visa lottery system, ignore the fact that, for all intents and purposes, only people from certain countries fly airliners into civilian buildings, engage in suicide bombings at weddings and funerals, use ambulances to perpetrate suicide bombings, and behead those they regard as infidels.

President Trump’s solution would give amnesty to over a million “Dreamers,” build a wall, end chain migration, end the visa lottery system, and go to a merit based immigration system.

Mr. Trump says he wants people to come who will love our country, and who will help better our country. Who do you agree with?

Whose program better addresses the issue I have set out above? What’s your program for dealing with those issues?

One other question: Why should we have less security at our borders than we do at our airports?
