Our collateral damage






"Some progressives might feel that a terror attack leaving a few dead Americans is just collateral damage to achieve the greater good of legalizing more voters."



It really hit me today. Even though it was not that much of an epiphany, the gravity of it really sunk in. There is a major difference between the way progressives and conservatives think - this time on immigration. And it is a huge difference. For example, when asked about the three attacks which took place over the weekend, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave quite different opinions on why they happened. 

Trump puts the problem squarely on the shoulders of our broken immigration enforcement system. Hillary on the other hand, puts the problem squarely on the shoulders of our broken immigration system. Not the enforcement - just the system itself. She believes we need a quicker path to citizenship. And the ones who are here illegally, need to be legalized - and soon.

In other words, in the eyes of the progressives, if a few bad apples should sneak in with the waves of un-vetted immigrants, so what? Some progressives might even feel that a terror attack leaving a few dead Americans is just collateral damage to achieve the greater good of legalizing more voters.

Conservatives on the other hand, feel our immigration system has been set up just fine, thank you. The reason we have so many undocumented people in this country right now is quite simple. Our legal system is not being followed by many who sneak in.

Donald Trump on the other hand, really wants to tamp down on our immigration system. To "super vet" any immigrant coming in from a war torn country. He wants to ensure we don't let people in this country who hate us, who want to hurt us. I never hear those words from Hillary. The only thing we hear from her is Trump supporters are rotten and they all have Islamophobia.

Every time there is a terror attack either at home or abroad, the Administration and Hillary are scrambling to come up with the proper PC words to explain it. And somehow, each attack, either directly or indirectly, is our fault.

Trump on the other hand, is brutally honest. Terror is terror, killing is killing. He knows, like many of us do, we have allowed the enemy to be inside the gate. It is time to play "who is who" in this country. If you are not one of us, you are gone. If you are here to kill us, you are dead or on your way to Gitmo. It is as simple, and straight forward, as that.
