Should People Who Refuse To Assimulate Be Allowed To Immigrate To America? I Don't Think So!

The airwaves today are wall to wall Trump after he suggested America bar Muslims from coming to America until our government can get the immigration process right.   I take exception with Donald Trump's position that all Muslims should be barred from immigrating to America...that said, there is an argument to be made that everyone from EVERYWHERE should be kept from immigrating to America (legally or illegally) until we get our own house in order when it comes to people immigrating to America.  

1.  Lets deal with our borders.

2.  Lets deal with those who overstay their Visa.

3.  Let's come up with a system of checks and balances that facilitates legal immigration into our nation, while at the same time keeps undesirables out, including criminals, malcontents and possible terrorists.

4.  Figure out a system that makes sure those who come here do assimilate into our country, learn to read, write, speak and understand our language.

Let us as a nation take a time out, absorb those who are already here, and come to an agreement on who should or should not be allowed to come to America, and once we our in agreement, lets stick to the list, apply equal standards to EVERYONE, regardless of their race, creed, religion, sexual orientation or country of origin.

First thing that should be on that list of things for our government to address when deciding who can and who cannot immigrate to America should be their willingness to assimilate, which includes learning to speak, read and comprehend our English language.  If you have been in America for 10, 20 or more years and still cannot read, speak and comprehend English, then you have no business living in America.   The days of pushing 2 for Spanish needs to end.   If you are not willing to relinquish citizenship granted to you from some other nation, and swear allegiance to America, then you should not be here.   A perfect example of this can be found in sports where we have citizens of America playing professional sports, making millions of dollars here in America who go play sports for their home country's Olympic team...that is a divided allegiance that needs to end.

As a nation,let us not ban someone based on their religion, but let us also not allow people access to American citizenship who are not willing to fully embrace what it means to be American. 

Matthew 6:24 states, "No one can serve two masters.  For you will hate one and love the other, you will be devoted to one and despise the other."   People cannot be true citizens of America if they still pledge allegiance to another country, and that country's value systems and laws.  Still hold duel citizenship here and elsewhere.  It is in this context that Trump has opened up an ugly can of worms that no one really wants to discuss, finding it easier to label "The Trump" a heretic than discuss the issues that he so un-artfully brought to light in his call for banning all Muslims.

Let's as example look at Saudi Arabia which is a Muslim country, most of those who live there practicing Islam in one form or another.   No problem so far...BUT, it is also a country that both embraces and has codified Sharia Law, a set or rules and regulations based (supposedly) on the Quran, which is supposedly the word of Allah, much like Moses and the Ten Commandments.   Let's face it, Sharia Law has NO PLACE in America, no place in our culture.   Is it fair under our constitution to ask people to swear to uphold our laws and system of government, and denounce and/or abandon their beliefs in Sharia Law? If someone of Muslim faith wants to believe that their faith requires them to embrace and support Sharia Law, we as a nation do have a problem when it comes to them becoming citizens of our nation.   Perhaps the best example of this problem is the growing problem of "Honor Killings" here in America.

I do not agree with how Donald Trump has framed this important conversation that our nation, and our leaders need to have...who gets to come to America, and what rules and regulations do we need to have in place when it comes to saying yes or no to those wishing to immigrate here.  However I do agree that A) we should declare a full and complete moratorium on immigration until we address the problems with the immigration system, and B) we should not allow 10,000 refugees from war torn areas of the Middle East unless we have the ability to fully and completely vet each and every one of them before they ever set foot on America's shores.

News Pundits Are Wrong About Arming Ourselves

Just heard a pundit on CNN state that Americans arming themselves will not stop a terrorist...his reasoning was pretty simple, albeit wrong.   The basic premise he had was this...the second you pull your gun on a terrorist, you are going to be the first one to get shot.

1.  The terrorist has to see you pull out and aim your concealed firearm.

2.  The pundit is assuming that there is only one armed citizen in the room/location where the terrorist is taking pot  shots at UNARMED INNOCENT CITIZENS.  What happens if two, or five, or twenty citizens in different parts of the room/location are pulling out their concealed weapons and taking aim, then shooting at the terrorist.   Would guess at least one of them is going to drop said terrorist dead in his tracks.

Fact...if you and everyone else in the room/location are unarmed, you have NO CHANCE at stopping a shooter or terrorist bent on killing as many people as possible with a rapid fire long rifle capable of spewing out 30 or so shots in a matter of seconds.   If some of the people in the room or location have a loaded weapon on their body, there is a chance one of them can get off a shot that injures or even kills said shooter or terrorist.

Arming ourselves gives us (no pun intended) a shooting chance, to some degree levels the playing the field, and might just give a shooter/terrorist some pause before they implement their suicidal attack on innocent citizens here in America.

Time For a Real World War 3 Against Daesh And Their Radical Islamist Demonspawn

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

Lets stop being politically correct, and lets see our national leaders from all countries and political parties stop playing politics.   America, Britain, France, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Africa and every other country in the world...where are your parliaments,  Congresses and leaders in putting forth a official DECLARATION OF WAR against Daesh?  Why isn't every nation of the world committing troops and arms to a World War aimed at hunting down these vile demon spawn followers of a sick and twisted version of Allah like the dogs that they are?  The Allah these monsters follow is a pig, a scum, dog excrement that should be killed.  Moderate Muslims worship a different Allah, an Allah that would condemn the actions of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Where is a $100 Million dollar bounty on the head of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, where is the deck of 52 cards each picturing one of the key figures in this movement with the amount of bounty on their head prominently displayed?  Why isn't there a coalition of nations willing to put boots on the ground in every nation where these terrorist cells are known to be?  The occasional bombings and drone strikes are not enough to eradicate these twisted monsters from the earth.   Why hasn't the United Nations called for an emergency meeting of the Security Counsel?  Where is NATO.

The leader of Syria... he has to go as well.   Don't try to convince us that our government, the Pentagon does not know the where about's of Assad...a drone strike, special forces, air strikes,what ever it takes to remove this man from office, and it is time for America, our allies and the United Nations to tell Putin to FALL IN LINE, or remove himself and his troops from the battlefield in Syria and let us do what we need to do.

Those who are known to have affiliated themselves with ISIS, or are known to have funneled money to this terrorist group...ROUND THEM UP, throw them in a detention center...THIS IS A TIME OF WAR.     

The time has come...Let's take back our world from these demented followers of a perverted form of Islam, lets show them the wraith of God, and if the Muslims of the world are not with us in this battle, then they are against us.  It is now an us verse them war, and like it or not,the supposed reasonable have to pick sides.
