President Trump has sparked lots of
controversy (and hysteria from the left) since his inauguration, with a quite
respectable series of executive orders.
One order in particular, one that seems quite sensible to me, has been
getting the most attention from the radical left lately. That order bars entry visas for 90 days, for
people coming from seven Islamic countries with a history of providing ISIS (?)
terrorists. Those countries being:
Libya, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia.
The media, liberals, and Hollywood
celebrities are throwing a king-sized fit over the Presidents decision to
protect American citizens from a mob of bloodthirsty radical Muslim
jihadists. Apparently they seem to
think that we’re under some sort of a moral obligation to allow nearly any
self-declared refugee into the country, without any verification or background
checks, and then we can all kneel down and pray (a non-Christian prayer of
course) that nobody gets blown up!
We are engaged in a war with an
extremely radical theocracy, one based on a fifteen hundred year old culture of
violence that is totally foreign to the western world. A religion that teaches its adherents to
kill or enslave anyone, men, women, and children, who do not totally believe in
the teachings of their prophet, and who do not completely submit themselves to
the orders of some rather bloodthirsty “clerics”. It is most definitely not a good idea to invite tens or even
hundreds of thousands of “enemy aliens” into your country during times of
war! Such an action is called an
invasion in military jargon, and does not normally end well for those being invaded. Consider,
what would have happened if Franklin Roosevelt had invited the Japanese emperor
to send a couple of hundred thousand “refugees” to California in early
1941?! Or had allowed Hitler to send
thirty or forty thousand “peaceful” Nazi Storm Troopers into New York City!
Trump
announced a temporary ban on refugees from Syria and Middle Eastern war zones,
dangerous Muslim-majority countries with inadequate or nonexistent refugee
screening. Are these people actually
refugees, or are they jihadi fighters in disguise? Well, a very loud BOOM, or a sudden flurry
of gunfire may be your first warning.
You might note that the
Presidential immigration executive order pertains only to those seven extremist
countries, NOT to the entire Islamic world.
Nor does it ban Christian refugees from those violent Muslim majority
countries. Many citizens of those
countries are already here, working, attending school, or what-have-you, and
are law abiding people. However, a
number of them have already proven themselves to be jihadis by committing some
rather heinous terrorist acts both here and in Europe. And what about other Muslim countries that
would be much more logical places for these Muslims to seek refuge? They’ve banned Muslim immigration from those
same violent countries from the very beginning! Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar— are they as racist as the
loony left accuses the Donald of being?
That’s a question that Trump's critics are not about to answer.
Personally I support the Presidents
decision, after all, don’t we have quite enough homegrown wanna-be terrorists
around, without inviting a few thousand more to come and join the
festivities? I do insist that we need
to forget partisan politics for the time being, and start putting American
lives first. As this war gains in worldwide intensity, as it will continue to
do, Trump's decision will help in preventing even more radical Islamic
terrorism in the US, and the deaths of even more innocent American
citizens. These are random terrorist
acts as we have seen, rarely targeting specific people or places, but rather
“targets of opportunity”. So, as Mrs.
Pelosi was asked, how many of your children are expendable in the interest of
bleeding hearted liberalism?
The executive order signed by Trump suspends immigration from
seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days and all refugee resettlement for
120 days. Such a delay is not a
permanent ban, and does nothing more than allow our government to determine
whether these people are legimate refugees… or are they bonafide terrorists
looking for a chance to blow themselves (and infidel Americans) to
paradise. It provides exceptions for
refugees who practice a religion that makes them a minority in their home
country.
However,
a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's ban after Washington State and
Minnesota, both hotbeds of liberalism, urged a nationwide hold on the executive
order that has launched legal battles across the country. The White House said
Friday night it will seek an emergency stay of the federal judge's order. U.S. District Judge James Robart of Seattle
determined there was a high probability that Trump's executive order was
illegal and unconstitutional. Yet entry
to the US is NOT a constitutional right for non-citizens! The two states won a temporary restraining
order while the courts consider the lawsuit (which based on past judicial
performance will probably take a few years).
Sadly, these protesters and their
lawsuits are just following the lead of many prominent public figures on the
left who have been having a complete meltdown since Donald Trump's victory in
November. These folks include celebrity snowflakes that live in a make
believe world and who would like to think that just because they’re “rich and
famous” they’re qualified to tell the rest of us how to think and live.
Greg Gutfeld said that President
Trump's actions during his first few weeks in office are driving the
"worst people" crazy. That, I
would say, includes the "frantic media”, “bed-wetting celebrities",
and the ACLU.
