Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it say that the United States of America is the depository for those who shirk their duty to control their corrupt governments.
People most often take the path of less resistance.
They’ll run instead of fighting for their country’s reform.
The U.S. has received millions of immigrants over the past 200-plus years.
At different times, it has closed its doors to certain immigrants, and also put Japanese-Americans in prison camps during during World War II.
Most who have emigrated to the U.S. have been of religions that have denounced cutting heads off, stoning, circumcising girls and causing mayhem on those who have offered response.
It’s only prudent, in today’s international climate, to ascertain one’s loyalty before granting admittance to the U.S.
Even more prudent, closing our borders would force other countries’ migrants to reform the countries they are fleeing.
As long as sanctuary is given as a reward for cowardliness, I can only offer my condolences to those who shriek at protest and have unrepentant faith in those migrants who run from responsibility.
