Gallup surveyed 33 nations in Latin America and the Caribbean and found that a full 27% of 450 million people want to immigrate to the United States, which would come out to 42 million immigrants.
Given their wishes, Democrats would love all 42 million to enter the United States.
That’s what open borders are all about.
Maybe Gallup should also poll Americans and ask them what they think about accepting 42 million immigrants into this country.
Seekers of citizenship or asylum are watching to determine exactly when and how is the best time to make their move.
In addition to finding a solution for the thousands of migrants currently at the border, let’s include the bigger, harder question — what about all of those who would like to come? What is the message to them?
What is the 10-year plan?
330 million U.S. citizens are wondering. So are 42 million Latin Americans.
Democrats are trying to play on the hearts of Americans by saying that immigrants need to come here for a better life but fail to mention how it can lower the life of those affected by mass immigration, especially when there are 19 million unemployed Americans.
The United States is the most generous nation on the face of the Earth but at some point, we also have to have compassion for poor Americans who can be adversely affected by mass immigration.
President Trump made it harder for immigrants to come here illegally and for American companies to hire them. As a result, the unemployment numbers for Blacks and legal Hispanics saw their unemployment numbers reach their lowest point in history.
This is an instance where our hearts are getting in the way of our heads. We like to think of America as a welcoming oasis for the poor and downtrodden of the world. Otherwise, what’s the Statue of Liberty for?
But the reality is far less romantic. Billions of people around the world could be considered “poor and downtrodden” as well as oppressed, persecuted, and hunted. They live in hovels in some countries, corrugated tin houses in others. Many don’t even have homes. Or enough to eat. Or clean water to drink.
Simply put, we can’t save them all.
These potential migrants don’t see the U.S. as a racist, oppressor state — an inconvenient fact that is never mentioned by BLM and the rainbow of racial rights groups that drone on and on about “white privilege,” and “systemic racism.” Why do they want to come?
