liberal talking points with no basis in reality.
Back in the mid '80 I was reading the Ayn Rand books. I mentioned them to some of the leftist feminists I worked with as a rebuttal to some of their absurd views. To my astonishment (see what I did there), they all said they LOVED Ayn Rand. To this day, that surprises me because almost all of her views were diametrically opposed to those leftists.
They justified it by saying that she was a "strong woman". But if they thought it through,and they admired her, then they would NOT take the views on society that they did.
Let's say 99% of illegals are just looking for a better life, are good people, want a job, and will end up paying taxes and eventually assimilating.I also like to point out the hypocrisy of the left when it comes to illegal aliens vs gun control.
And let's say 1% are criminal psychopaths, which is the actual estimate in the general population. Assume for the sake of argument that the rate of psychopathy among illegals is no higher than that among U.S. citizens.
Almost 7.3 million illegals crossed the border just during the Biden administration, as of February, 2024.
7,300,000 x .01 = 73,000.
So we have 73,000 newly arrived criminally inclined psychopaths just in the past 3 years.
So the argument that illegals are simply looking to escape poverty and be accepted with open arms is technically correct 99% of the time, but doesn't hold water if you are trying to defend the idea that we should just let them all in. A process of vetting would weed out those with a violent criminal history, ties to terrorist organizations, or no discernible job skills meaning they'd just be a parasite. Without control over who enters our country, we aren't a country; no point in even having borders.
China and Russia appear to be the only powers on the planet that pose any credible military threat to the US. The southern border presents a lower priority threat.
"Military aged" is a meaningless scare phrase. That cadre has been entering the US for work since the Mexican Revolution.
We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We’ve learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.
