Letting In Syrians, Loving Taco Bell
DONALD TRUMP DECLARED some weeks ago that as long as he rules, no Syrian refugees will be allowed into the United States. He said something to the effect that: "We don't know who they are, where they're coming from, what their purpose is, we have no documents, we have no way of vetting and background checking them". Actually, we know all that stuff, and more, because each and every Syrian refugee is thoroughly checked out in advance of being allowed into the country, over a long period of time, sometimes as long as two years, using extensive documentation. But facts don't matter when you have decided that you are entitled to your own facts. Thus everyone from the middle east is a terrorist, as well as every Muslim, and every woman wearing a head scarf. One percipient citizen said that he did not want any Syrians coming over here and turning the United into Syria. Yes, an American actually said that, incredibly. And he seemed intelligent. "If the Syrian refugees will have a pizza, some beer, and some chicken wings", he continued, "that's fine, but they need to assimilate into American culture"... The pizza and beer I can see, but chicken wings? We Americans are crazy to eat chicken wings. Why bother? No meat. Precisely how many Syrians would be required to enter the United States in order to turn America into Syria wasn't specified. At least several million, wouldn't you think? Probably more than all the Syrians in Syria. There are at least fifteen or twenty million Mexicans living in the U.S. now, and although Mexican food is very popular all across the fruited plain, and you see a lot of Spanish on advertising, still, we gringos must admit: America is still very much America. I, for one, would be lost without Taco Bell.......PLEASE SHARE THIS SITE WITH OTHERS.THANKS!
