Vetting , and Letting the Caravan In
THE DIFFERENT REASONS for keeping the caravan of migrants out of the United States are, in a sick sort of way, fascinating. They're bringing crime, they're bringing drugs. They're killers and rapists. So goes the Trump line, a blatant lie by virtue of grotesque distortion of facts. Statistically, actually, the migrants are a whole heckuva lot less criminal in their behavior than your average American. That's just a fact, whether my fellow arrogant Americans prefer to accept it or not. Then, we have the legal purists, and their paltry excuses...The "They must come legally" crowd. Well, there is absolutely nothing illegal about running for your life, escaping your own country to save your life, and seeking asylum in another country. Then, there are the economic arguments, equally bogus. These people take jobs away from good, law abiding, native Americans. They are a drain and a burden on American society, taking up social benefits, like welfare money, and giving nothing in return. Even funnier is the "America cannot afford these people" bullshit. The "we can't even take care of our own people" crowd. Too freaking funny. And the funny thing about this whole mess, the funniest thing of all, is that the people spewing these bullshit arguments are, overwhelmingly, the conservative Christian capitalist crowd. The mainstream G.O.P.. As far as I can tell, the Democrats, the liberals are, overwhelmingly saying "let them in. Give them a chance. Help them." Meanwhile, its those socialistic atheist Christ denying left wing types, urging compassion towards the caravaners. The great national divide continues, right versus left. Folks, there's no argument here. The Christian thing, the Jesus like thing to do would be to welcome the immigrants, all immigrants, with open arms, and give them everything they need, food, water, clothing, shoes, money, housing, jobs, all of it. The non christian thing to do, the devilish thing to do, is to tear gas them. Economically? Economically, the capitalistic thing to do, the free market capitalistic thing to do, is to let the immigrants in, get some money into their hands, with jobs, and watch as their ability to spend money, and their demand for goods and services, leads to production, sales, and profit for American business. ts that simple. Illegal immigrants in America already pay trillions of times more taxes than they take out in welfare money, trust me. Legalize them, put them to work, to paying taxes and spending money, and watch the American economy take off like a rocket, capitalistically. Increased demand is increased work, production, supply, and prosperity. the Christian argument and the capitalistic argument, for letting the caravan in and treating them well, are both the same argument. For Once, Christian and capitalistic values coincide, merge on the side of good. therefore, its extremely ironic, tragic, and not a little humorous, that the very people who reject these arguments concerning the immigrant caravan, claim to embrace them generally. do we see racism, just as traditional an American value as Christianity and capitalism, cleverly disguised here? Hey, just asking. In any event, when will America's Christians and capitalists, aka America's conservative community, finally wake up and understand basic religion and economics, and start embracing them?
