Giving, And Taking Away, Sanctuary

SEVERAL HUNDRED CITIES and several states are unwilling to cooperate with the federal government in rounding up and deporting extra-American-terrestrials. Glory to the bastions of American liberalism, usually big cities, in protecting, or at least restraining from pursuing, America's unwanted invaders. Here comes Trump and his alternative reality gang, threatening to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities and states. Black mail, pure and simple, since the money came from these places in the first place, and is rightfully theirs. According to sanctuary advocates, the undocumented aliens are generally hard working, engage in crime far less frequently than your everyday native born American, are human, and pay into the social security system without ever getting any return on their contribution. Then too, since the feds let them in in the first place by failing to guard America's border, let the feds show them out. We have better things to do with our local law enforcement resources, such as apprehending your regular garden variety native born American criminal. The Trumped up conservative version of reality is that they are illegal intruders, and must go on that basis alone, are lazy, welfare moochers who soak up social service resources which ought properly to go to America's legitimate native born poor. Besides which, these invaders bring crime, rape, drugs, pillage, and general mayhem and destruction. Its just another one of those liberal conservative thingies of which we have grown so fond. In the real world there are more folks leaving the U.S. and returning to Mexico than entering the U.S. from Mexico, owing to lack of opportunity in the north. This has been the case since about 2007. Ironically, non native Americans in large numbers are fleeing into both Canada and mexico to escape American justice and Donald J. Trump, persecution, and bigotry, all of which are made to order in the U. S. of A. With the continuing concentration of wealth and power into the hands of the elite one hundredth of one percent, look for the exodus from the U.S. to continue, and for our angry and uneasy nation to continue to persecute the unwanted brown people. Eventually, America will have emptied itself out, and the land can return to its pristine state of being, inhabited by less harmful species of animals.
