U.S. immigration is a security issue

Our nation has always been a beacon of freedom for those around the world. We are, on the whole, a very compassionate country.

However, the decisions we make as a country can’t be made on the basis of compassion alone.

Many of us are deeply moved by the plight of persecuted Christians and Muslims who are at the mercy of the Islamic State, which was created after President Obama abandoned a then-stabilized Iraq.

The Obama administration has decided that the Christians are on their own and our “compassion” will be given to Muslims. Christians don’t have terrorists in their midst, but we know Muslims do. Sorry, but that’s the truth.

If you were given a package of M&Ms that contained one poisoned candy, would you give it to your child to eat? Common sense would tell you not to.

If common sense is useful in that situation, why not use it to guide decisions on who should be allowed into our country?

Let’s not go the way of Sweden, which committed national suicide with its liberal policies supporting multiculturalism and unlimited immigration. In less than 15 years Sweden’s Muslim population will be greater than its native population.

Anyone who believe Muslims will respect Sweden’s history and culture is mistaken. It’s being swept into the dustbin of history and will become part of the growing Muslim caliphate.

Our government’s No. 1 job is national security. Why should we play Russian roulette with it?
