Once long ago, a leader rose up and told his people that the outsiders (the immigrants) were destroying their country, that these people were inferior and that they were bringing the entire country down. THEY are not like US, he declared. He united his people and the country rose to new levels of power and dominance in Europe and drove out and killed the immigrants. But, he was stopped largely by the eight million Russians that did not see the world like he did.
During WWII, we came obsessed and fearful of the danger posed by those that looked like our enemies. The color of their skin, the slant of their eyes, their dark hair and short stature. THEY were not like US, we declared. They should be put in camps They should be put in camps, the men separated from their wives and child until the war is over. We acted quickly and saved ourselves from their threat.
Now, a new threat has risen. They have come here under the pretense of wanting a better life. But, in reality they have just come here to have their children on our soil so they and their citizen children can tap into our welfare system. It doesn't matter if they could not afford the price of legal immigration, they should have stayed home. Their drug wars have nothing to do with us, it's their problem. THEY are not like US, They are not like the immigrants that have come here before them. In fact we suspect their governments are sending the worst of the worst to us, like rapists, so they won't have to deal with them.
And yet and even greater threat has arisen, more evil than the feared Mexican -- the Syrian Refuge. We had nothing to do with his problems, its not like we messed up the Middle East or contributed to its instability. But, Carson is prepared to save us from this threat by not letting any Syrian refugees into our country, not even one hungry child is going to darken our borders.
