America Needs a Border Wall Like Houses Need Insulation
How Trump's wall will help keep heinous criminals out of America's cities.

Remittances, massive as they are, do not account for all of the money that flows from the United States to Mexico and because they are legal and transparent are easy to quantify.
Money is often smuggled covertly out of the U.S. to other countries around the world. by illegal and hence opaque means. Sometimes the money is concealed in furniture, appliances or vehicles. Sometimes the money is converted to gold or other precious metals to make it more portable. However, no matter how money leaves the United States, a wall would create a barrier against illegal alien workers who send their ill-gotten wages back to Mexico.
That wall could help stem the flow of dangerous narcotics into America - an act that destroys the lives of children and fuels the violence that plays out in towns and cities across the country.
Indeed, a secure southern border could help to insulate America from terrorists operating in Latin America, an issue of grave concern that I wrote about in my recent article, Congresional Hearing: Iranian Sleeper Cells Threaten U.S.that included the testimony of one of the witnesses, Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who said, in part:

Levin: People Are Coming Into This Country So Fast ‘Assimilation Is Almost Impossible’
On his nationally syndicated radio talk show Friday, host Mark Levin warned that swift cultural changes are occurring in America because “we have so many people coming so fast into this country” that “assimilation is almost impossible.”
“We have so many people coming so fast into this country—legally and illegally—assimilation is almost impossible,” said Mark Levin. “And then we have the forces on the left that don’t want assimilation. They want as many people—even born in America—as stupid and reliant on government as possible, as possible. It’s just appalling seeing what they do to people.”
Levin’s comments came in response to the recent backlash from liberal publications that Fox News host Laura Ingraham received after she suggestedthat the “America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore” and remarked that “massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people.”
Below is a transcript of Mark Levin’s remarks on his show Friday:
“We love our culture. We love our system. And people are fleeing their cultures and fleeing their systems, and they ought to assimilate into this country. This isn’t new. This is as old as the country. You have to show allegiance to the country. We spend all our time talking about illegal aliens and foreigners coming into this country, and if you don’t get in line, and you don’t walk in march step with the left, then they take shots at you. ‘You must be a racist. Oh, well David Duke agrees with you? David Duke agrees with you.’“Now, these are the same people who barely blinked when Keith Ellison—the number two man at the DNC who wanted to be the number one man—has spent part of his life working for Farrakhan. They don’t say a d--- thing about the anti-Semitic things this man said. They were perfectly happy with Obama and what he was doing to the state of Israel – perfectly happy, no problem. And I could go on and on and on with the Democrats and the left.
“So you try and paint this woman as something you know she’s not to try and shut her down to try and get her fired? She wants the borders secured. So do we. Only legal immigration – and limited.“And we’re not talking about the race of somebody. We’re not talking about the background of somebody, unless, of course, they’re criminals. We want law-abiding people coming into this country the right way who want to be here – not to make two dollars – because they want to be Americans.“We have so many people coming so fast into this country—legally and illegally—assimilation is almost impossible. And then we have the forces on the left that don’t want assimilation. They want as many people—even born in America—as stupid and reliant on government as possible, as possible. It’s just appalling seeing what they do to people.”

Losing America
Not too long ago we as a
people could generally agree upon a certain set of core values. Today a smaller
majority of the American people still believe in the US Constitution and many
people are starting to lose focus on the things that really matter the most.
When did certain members
of our society all of sudden become selective regarding the laws they wished to
be enforced ?
When exactly did some US
citizens lose their basic instinct for survival ?
The Democratic Party's
leadership not too long ago believed illegal immigration was wrong (video).
Why have their minds now suddenly shifted ? Has importing a new
Democrat voter base into this nation become just too appealing an idea for them
not to take advantage of? A voter base which would be
beholden to big government from cradle to grave. A voting bloc of people that
would cast their votes depending upon what government could provide them.
Most rational citizens
understand that unfettered and unchecked illegal immigration is a recipe for
disaster. Yet huge factions of the new radical leftist Democrats currently
believe illegal immigration is some kind of noble cause involving social
justice. Many within the current party leadership have become all too willing
to completely toss away the former US immigration melting pot model and happily
replace it with a new "salad bowl" model.
Reality and history have
proven to all of us that a nation simply we cannot safely absorb relentless
waves of unassimilated immigration and expect to survive. Illegal
immigrants bring with them so many different languages and cultures, and many
of them have no desire to assimilate or learn the English language. Diversity
is not always necessarily a strength. Change is not always a positive thing.
Illegal immigrants who refuse to assimilate and learn our language are placing
a heavy burden upon us.
Illegal aliens who are
willing to work for extremely low wages are helping to eliminate the US blue
collar middle class. These illegal aliens currently flooding
the US labor force are driving down the wages of American workers. I am sick of
hearing the line, "Americans are not willing to do those jobs." In
reality Americans would be willing to do those jobs, but obviously not for
slave wages.
Illegal immigration is
placing an enormous financial burden upon our health care system. It has become
common place for illegal aliens to use the emergency rooms of US hospitals as
their personal doctors. This inevitably drives up the cost of healthcare for
all of us.
A decade-and-a-half ago, a
former liberal Democrat named Dick Lamm gave a prophetic five minute speech on
how a nation like America could easily self-destruct. The former governor of
Colorado was issuing a warning to all of us in the United States who were
willing to listen. Lamm unveiled a chilling point by point hypothetical
plan on how to destroy America through the immigration process. Every
citizen within this country should consider listening to this five minute audio clip and
hear the chilling prophetic words of Lamm ring out so loud and true
today.
A nation that makes
allowances for illegal immigration, especially without any significant time for
assimilation, eventually becomes a nation under invasion,
something which then eventually results in colonization.
The rule of law becomes a
moot point when corrupt agenda-driven politicians within the government get to
pick and choose the laws they wish to be enforced. When this type of selective
law enforcement is facilitated, our country becomes nothing more than a banana
republic.
The many remaining
law-abiding citizens, along with Republican politicians, need to start
adamantly calling out the Democrats for their irrational supportive stance
regarding illegal immigration. We all need to confront the radical Democrats
head on. They are the party whose senior members have the audacity to lecture
and virtue signal conservatives on how evil and uncaring we have all become.
Constantly painting those of us on the right as the bad guys. Simply because we
conservatives dare to hold our American sovereignty sacred and know our borders
need to become more safe and secure. All the rational people within this
country are demanding the immigration process be a legal and closely monitored
one.
Immigration could be a
winning issue for Republicans in November. But they need to hammer this issue
home with courage and fortitude, not backing down for fear of being called a
racist or xenophobe. If the Republicans expect to win in November, they need to
highlight all the negatives of uninterrupted waves of illegal immigration. A
non-stop flow of illegal immigration being shoved down our throats by the
Democrats and their puppet media.
We conservatives all need to
stand as one with President Trump and affirm his policies regarding
immigration. Trump's immigration plan adheres to basic common sense. Trump is
putting individual American citizen's lives above political correctness, and
this is making us all safer.
Illegal immigration has
become the catalyst for big changes in this country. Changes within a nation
which inevitably become irreversible if we fail to act. Change for the sake of
change is a most dangerous thing.
An America that ignores the
problems that come attached to open borders and illegal immigration is doomed
for destruction. A citizenry which no longer believes in the rule of law and
which pays lip service to our US Constitution is no longer free. A people who
are no longer willing to hold their leaders accountable in regard to enforcing
the rule of law, eventually become enslaved within a tyranny.

No matter, because the Democrats are no longer
the party of labor. Back when they were — in the prelapsarian Clinton years —
they sought tight labor markets precisely for their efficacy in boosting
lower-end wages. But today’s Democrats are the party of high class, high tech and
high capital.
This glamour coalition is not big enough by itself to win elections. So the left has hoodwinked some (but, as the 2016 election shows, by no means all) low-income voters into thinking that their interests align with those of Wall Street and Silicon Valley oligarchs.

What will
America stand for in 2050?
The US should
think long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.
By
Lawrence Harrison
It's not
just a short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as
unemployment approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the
quality of healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our
cohesiveness as a nation.
The
political realities of the rapidly growing Latino population are such that
Mr. Obama may be the last president who can avert the permanent, vast
underclass implied by the current Census Bureau projection for 2050.
THE
INVITED INVADING HORDES: IT’S ALL ABOUT KEEPING WAGES DEPRESSED!
"In
the decade following the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the capitalist class
has delivered powerful blows to the social position of the working class. As a
result, the working class in the US, the world’s “richest country,” faces
levels of economic hardship not seen since the 1930s."
"Inequality
has reached unprecedented levels: the wealth of America’s three richest
people now equals the net worth of the poorest half of the US population."
THE
NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:
"Mexican
president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to
the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all
the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that
immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free
medical in the United States."

"Fox’s
Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting
AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net,
and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many
Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed
state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California,
the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they
have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist
presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans
have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically
reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER

2) Mexico is the 17th richest nation but

Only
in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled
racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive
activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as
"hate."
Previous
generations of immigrants did not believe they were racially superior to
Americans. That is the view of La Raza Cosmica, by Jose Vasconcelos, Mexico’s former education minister and
a presidential candidate. According to this book, republished in 1979 by the
Department of Chicano Studies at Cal State LA, students of Scandinavian, Dutch
and English background are dullards, blacks are ugly and inferior, and those
“Mongols” with the slanted eyes lack enterprise. The superior new “cosmic” race
of Spaniards and Indians is replacing them, and all Yankee “Anglos.” LLOYD

Heartland: A
Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke In the Richest Country on Earth
Sarah
Smarsh. Scribner, $26 (304p) ISBN 978-1-5011-3309-1
“Class is an illusion
with real consequences,” Smarsh writes in this candid and courageous memoir of
growing up in a family of working-class farmers in Kansas during the 1980s and
’90s. A writing professor and journalist whose work has appeared in the Guardian and
the New Yorker, Smarsh tells her story to her inner child, whose
“unborn spirit” allows Smarsh to break the cycle of poverty that constrained
her family for generations. Smarsh was born to a teenage mother, and the women
in her family were all young mothers who hardened and aged early from the work
it took to survive the day-to-day. Smarsh writes with love and care about these
women and the men who married them, including her father and Grandpa Arnie, but
she also lays bare their hardships (for many poor women, “there is a violence
to merely existing: the pregnancies without health care, the babies that can’t
be had, the repetitive physical jobs”) and the shame of being poor (”to
experience economic poverty... is to live with constant reminders of what you
don’t have”). It is through education that Smarsh is able to avoid their fate;
but while hers is a happy ending, she is still haunted by the fact that being
poor is associated with being bad. Smarsh’s raw and intimate narrative exposes
a country of economic inequality that “has failed its children.” Agent:

Why
write this book now?
I actually started in 2002 with a research
grant to begin piecing together my family history. I was a college senior, the
first from my family to go to college, and the campus environment had opened my
eyes about my family’s disadvantages as rural laborers. Later, as a journalist,
I gravitated toward covering economics, class, and rural issues. Over the
years, the book coalesced as an integration of my family’s private stories with
my professional understandings of public policies and realities. That’s another
way of saying, I didn’t write it because of the 2016 election.
What role did being female play in your breaking the poverty cycle?
Social mobility is more difficult for women or
any group that’s been historically marginalized. I tried to make clear the
strides and sacrifices made by the women before me, reaching back several
generations, that gave me more of a chance than they had. It’s a story about a
family and society rather than some individual triumph.
What’s the biggest challenge of poverty?
Someone who works at a computer with time to
mess around on Twitter might not understand that the constant, grueling labor
many people do to survive can preclude you from political engagement or
awareness. So one serious challenge is lack of civic agency required to change
the system that harms you. If you have a dream, it’s hard keeping it alive when
the vast majority of energy is required just to live.
You addressed this book to your inner child, or “unborn spirit.”
Why?
It made me nauseous to think about someone
reading it. I knew from publishing personal essays that this feeling means
you’ve hit on something true. The direct address wasn’t contrived for the book,
but rather reflects my experience growing up and actually having this private
dialogue. When some pieces of the book weren’t quite clicking together, I added
that very intimate and unique thing about my psyche. It let the reader in and
transformed the narrative.
Has shame prevented a social movement by poor people?
More powerful than shame in one’s potential
action is lack of understanding the extent to which you are getting screwed. There’s
a reason why, in a world of historic economic inequality, people who have been
exploited for their labor are intentionally kept outside of the social
structure that makes decisions. The power that lies within them is incredibly
dangerous to a small handful of people who profit off their labor.
