I was recently discussing the divisive issue of illegal immigration with some of my liberal compatriots, and as I'm wont to do - I tried to close the gap between some of our party's seeming xenophobia and liberal's embrace of D.E.M. immigration policies.
"I actually don't oppose the immigrants, refugees from the Violent Gang Crime in their country of origin, coming to our country. It's not my type of issue as a Repub. I say, these new refugees from south of the border may well be the worst of the worst, however, that would only constitute a small fraction of the refugees coming to America to -truly- embrace life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If anyone wants democracy, I say we give freely."
This was met with a bit of supercilious dismissal,
which is interesting because though the media paints Repubs as xenophobes, I've heard my liberal friends say anti-latinx screeds thinking, I guess because I'm a prominent republican, that I would sympathize...
but actually growing up in my hometown,
Many of who we considered "Locals" were- in fact -latinx!!!
So this whole Idea of,
"These ones aren't like us" mentality doesn't -in fact- reflect the Christian values of the small country Oasis I grew up in. We always, esp. in NC, have welcomed immigrants with open arms! We understand, the United States is a Nation of Immigrants.
"Give me you tired, your hungry, your poor." (paraphrase)
It sayeth under NYC's Statue of Liberty.
So what I'm attempting to say,
is latinx folks, seeking a new life in The United States of America as citizens of The Beacon of Light for the World, are really -first and foremost- fleeing Violent Gang Crime.
When you look at any case study of the Cartels south of the Border like M 13,
They are so extravagantly Evil, in such extremely violent ways that I would say people turning a cold shoulder to our new Latinx friends don't understand how F*CKING SCARY -LIKE "HORROR SHOW" SCARY- M 13 IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean,
we've got to help these innocents!
I do believe in all kinds of Republican platforms having to do with the Naturlization of Citizens, etc.
And I think this business about appropriation of Tax Money for the wall coming back into play the other day is a Good Thing.
But saying that,
This world is big enough for as many people as God cares to create,
so don't fall victim to the false ideology of Malthusianism, b/c it's an ignorant common error of Egoism.
