Democrats can't stand the thought of protecting Americans
Democrats and their cheerleaders in the mainstream media tout themselves as concerned for those addicted to drugs and regularly support increased spending money for therapy. But they refuse to fund building the wall and for border security on the Mexican border.
The wall would significantly stop the flow of illegal drugs through the Mexican border to the USA, which would reduce the supply of illegal drugs that cause addiction and deaths by overdose. The Democrats and media support spending money to deal with the effects of drugs smuggled across the border but refuse to spend money to stop the smuggling.
There is no doubt that illegal drugs and most heroin come across the Mexican border. And now we have fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), "[c]landestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico.
The Mexican cartels are producing fentanyl and also receive it from China to smuggle it to the USA. It is very profitable for the cartels.
In 2017, more than 72,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, with at least 30,000 attributed to fentanyl.
President Trump has called for a border wall to stop illegal immigration and to reduce the flow of illegal drugs, such as heroin and fentanyl. It is common sense and logical that building a wall and fully securing the southern border would reduce the flow of such drugs, reducing deaths and addiction.
Yet the Democrats refuse to fund the border wall and border security.
Senator Schumer and Speaker-Elect Pelosi agree to spend $1.5 billion for "border security" but not for a wall. President Trump is asking for only $5 billion. It is estimated that $27 to $40 billion is needed to fully fund the wall.
It is time to fully fund the border wall. The Trump Shutdown should focus on the record number of Americans who die due to drugs smuggled from Mexico. The focus should be on the Democrats and media that ignore the danger to Americans. This debate should be coupled with the number of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Democrats and their media will quibble about the exact number of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens. But the point is that such crimes are avoidable if the border is secured.
President Trump must be supported to shut down the federal government to finally force funding the wall to protect Americans. The issue is protecting Americans.
Iran is the principal state sponsor and supporter of terrorism. Iran has promised to destroy Israel. Iran's Parliament chanted "death to America" while burning our flag. The Dems and their media supported giving $150 billion to Iran but, they refuse to spend more than $1.5 billion to protect Americans, when they know that spending $27 to $40 billion would save thousands of Americans from death and addiction.
The bottom line is that the Dems and their media do not care about the security and safety of Americans.
Pew: No Majority of Citizens in the World Support Increasing Immigration
2:49
There is no majority of citizens in the world that supports increasing immigration levels to their home nation, a Pew Research Center study reveals.
The research found that of the 27 nations surveyed, not a single one supported increasing immigration by a majority. In fact, less than 15 percent of the median total of the 27 nations’ citizens supported plans to increase immigration.
Meanwhile, 12 of the nations held majorities that supported reducing immigration, including Greece, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Israel, Russia, and South Africa. Greece and Israel have the largest majorities of citizens who support cutting immigration.
Only three countries of the 27 had citizen majorities that supported current immigration levels, including the United States, though it is unclear if Pew Research told U.S. citizens surveyed the number of immigrants admitted annually.
In polls where Americans are told the number of legal immigrants admitted every year — 1.5 million — they overwhelmingly support reducing immigration levels to raise the wages of workers and stop job displacement.
When Americans get to choose how many immigrants they want added a year to the U.S. population, about 6-in-10 favor a national immigration policy that admits anywhere between 500,000 to zero immigrants a year — indicating massive support among U.S. citizens for at least halving immigration to America.
Even without potentially being told current mass legal immigration levels, there are more Americans who told Pew Research Center pollsters that they want less immigration, 29 percent, than those who said they support more immigration, 24 percent.
The Pew Research survey comes as the United Nations’ “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration” is set to be agreed upon by much of the Western world. President Trump removed the U.S. from the global pact last year, saying that it is not in American citizens’ interests to agree to mass immigration from across the globe.
Other countries that have joined the U.S. in opposing the mass immigration pact include the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Israel, and Australia. Both Switzerland and Italy are expected to also oppose the pact.
Similar polling from Pew Research Center found a correlation between attitudes towards immigrants, themselves, and a nation’s immigration levels, Breitbart News reported. The survey found that in countries like Japan — which has zero net immigration — citizens have positive views towards immigrants.
In 2017, the legal and illegal immigrant population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, NumbersUSA estimates that the U.S. population will boom to 404 million residents due to continued legal immigration levels and immigrants will make up about 15 percent of the entire American population by 2023.
