There are more people in South and Central America than there are available jobs in the U.S. Yet President Obama is airlifting illegal aliens and other dubious asylum seekers into Lackland Airforce Base and others through an unauthorized program called the Central American Minors and Refugee program. Not only will these minors receive permission to resettle, but so will their relatives, parents and former caregivers if their parents illegally preceded them. Encouraged by the news, land-crossing illegal aliens are on pace this year to surpass the great border surge of 2014.

Is this policy compassionate? It isn’t compassionate to underemployed Americans, minorities and homeless vets whose concerns go ignored. So whom does this massive influx serve? Consider the globalist agenda of George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Hacked Soros documents describe his desire to advance globalism through relentless political campaigning for open border policies and mass immigration. To this end, his billions finance nongovernmental organizations and lure politicians to erase national borders.

Unfortunately, so many Americans reflexively accept the globalist definition of compassion that they don’t flinch at Hillary Clinton’s promise to increase immigration even more — especially of Syrian refugees and terrorist-producing countries. When we let people such as Soros define compassion according to his purposes, we allow him and other elitists to eventually replace the American electorate with a more compliant and dependent workforce. Overwhelming immigration never helps Americans.
