Donald Trump is right about illegal immigration
As many of you, I first took Donald Trump’s bid for president as just another chance to show his overgrown ego. I don’t see it entirely that way any more, and his poll ratings have climbed despite his rhetoric.
His comments on Mexico brought a strong backlash from corporate sponsors and the Latino population. His honest talk, however, also woke up the segment of the U.S. population that has been quiet, but now is fed up. The concept of continued thousands of impoverished people, from mostly poor Latin countries, coming here so they can have a better life has to end somehow.
Yes, we are all immigrants to some degree, but the poor old USA simply can not absorb this huge influx forever. Part of the reason our country is great is that there are still some places to breathe, get away and enjoy the serenity and beauty of our open spaces. I don’t want apartments covering every square acre to house this continually increasing population. Besides, the USA already has critical issues with enough water, power, and food.
The trouble is that Trump is about right. Way too many immigrants are illegal and do bring in drugs and crime.
Take illegal Franciso Sanchez, for example. He has at least a dozen aliases, seven prior felony convictions in the U.S., and has been deported five times. He was recently released again, on probation. Kathryn Steinie, 32, was just walking on Pier 14 in San Francisco with her dad and a friend. She had no connection to Sanchez at all. He walked up behind her and shot her in the back. The bullet pierced her aorta and she died. It was a totally random shooting — just for fun, I guess. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Remember too, San Francisco is a “sanctuary city” that affords protection to illegal immigrants.
Every president since in recent times has promised to fix the immigration problem. Not one of them has done anything that works. So, good for you Donald Trump. Finally someone who doesn’t have to be “politically correct” all the time and has so much money he can afford to be outspoken and independent. He is saying what a lot of Americans think.
