From Rick Moran:
“It’s not immoral to refuse to take people in. Those who claim we have an ‘obligation’ to feed, house, clothe, educate, and cure tens of millions of suffering people do not live in the real world.”
Yeah, the “Give me your poor” etc. words on the Statue of Liberty are just words on a statue, not official U.S. policy.
that’s a great point. if we’re going to take our policy written on statues and such then we should take “here lies the body of….” as policy towards the racist Democrat death cult
Only after they pack their own crib to the rafters with illegal criminals do they get to say anything to anyone else.
You may recall last week or so, when the authorities announced the arrest of some high-ranking foreign gang member and listed an encyclopedia’s worth of crimes he’s suspected of. This morning, I hear a news item that they aren’t going to charge the low life sh*t fly with anything. The reason, and it’s a good one, if you think about it: no charges mean no long wait on the taxpayer’s dime while lawyer after lawyer files appeal after appeal, also on the taxpayer’s dime. AG Bondi is just going to order him deported as an unwelcome terrorist and ship his sorry butt off to some South American super max prison on the next express flight.
It would seem that she’s taken a lesson from Texas on the value of “express lane justice”.
Murphy, That’s the smart way to handle it. Ship them out to a prison far worse than any American prison
I think this question is a bit more variable than that. There are situations where I do think a country is morally obligated to help people, especially if you know they will be killed if you don’t (think Jewish refugees in WW2 or anyone fleeing the Soviets right after).
The problem is, that doea not apply to someone who just happens to not like their country or thinks they can get a better deal somewhere else. This is about 98% of the “refugees” we are dealing with. While I sympathize with their desire to come here, we are under no obligation to take them in.
Your point is well taken. It’s the only reason I can think of, and I don’t like it, but it’s a damn good reason to bring in the interpreters, translators, etc. who assissted us in Afghanistan and other mohammedan countries. Resident visas would have to be conditional on their behavior while here.
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door…”
― Jean Raspail, The Camp of the Saints
The statue does not say “Give me your tired, your poor, so they can get handouts and rob our citizens”. It says “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,”
That is, free of the oppression where they used to live, and which they hope to escape.
you make a good point. Many of these people simply are not yearning to be free. On the contrary they are yearning FOR free stuff from the taxpayer.
