Ruben Navarrette is using a lot of words trying to sound literate and logical. Too bad for him but his words don’t make any sense at all. All he is doing is making assumptions and then trying to convince the reader they are facts.
If walls are so absurd, then why do all those liberal politicians live behind walls? They do that because walls protect them. If people can’t get over the wall they have to stay on their side of it. Digging under a wall takes time and can be detected very easily.
When people know about the wall and that it is impenetrable, they won’t take the trouble to get to it. It is a tragedy that countries treat their people so poorly. That is not a reason why I should deprive my own of the things they need. I may invite people to my home and share my food and some times even put them up for a bit to help out. But, if more strangers show up and demand things form me that I can not give, I have the right to turn them away.
The pull of family only gets us more illegal trespassers. The Daily News interviewed a woman who was in this country illegally for 2 years. Her husband was here illegally for 28 years. In that time he managed to sneak most of his and his wife’s family to this country. Neither one of them was fluent in English. The whole family is on welfare. They get section 8 housing, food stamps, and free medical. They are not stupid. Her sister has moved to the Deep South because her welfare will go further. We are the stupid ones for putting up it.
Illegal trespassers are straining our social services to the breaking point. Latest figures show that 80 hospitals have had to close because they can’t afford to provide for illegal trespassers. This has put legal citizens in jeopardy. In the case of an accident it may take an extra 30 minutes or more to get emergency care. That delay will often kill the injured.
Mr. Navarrette is putting the welfare of foreigners ahead of all Americans. In the end the open boarders he advocates will help no one. The reason being, we will run out of resources. Mr. Navarrette is wrong in all his assumptions, but I think he knows that. He is just pushing an agenda with out regard to the welfare of this country.
