THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW

HUMMINGBIRDS AND ILLEGALS

 

Every summer my wife hangs an ever increasing number of hummingbird feeders from our front porch. She has a habit of worrying about all of the critters around our home; she absolutely does not want any of them to be hungry. In the case of the hummingbirds, when we puts up the first feeder she may have only one or two birds that use the feeders but as the summer progresses each hummingbird will tell its friends about the free meal then the numbers start to increase. By the time the summer is over the birds resemble a swarm of bees. The situation happening about the children being separated from their parents who are wanting to enter this country illegally remind me of my wife’s little hummingbird friends. 

 

Anytime you subsidize anything you only make the problem worse. President Trump is only enforcing the current laws of the United States. For years the people of this nation have been demanding border security and there have been laws passed but too many of our elected leaders have ignored them which has only made the problem worse. In my opinion the biggest problem we have is the main stream media manipulating the American people with all of the pictures of crying children at our southern border. As long as we continue to operate immigration on manipulated emotions we will never get a handle on the problem. We Americans are a compassionate people but we no longer have the wealth to be a host to people who don’t want to obey our laws and come to our country legally. To prove my point, look at all of the states that are having problems funding core services in their communities. 

 

In our country one of our biggest problems is the fact that the liberals can do nothing but bash anything that President Trump does to stop the illegal invasion of our nation. If the liberals and their main stream media allies cared as much for American taxpayers as they seem to do for someone entering our country illegally maybe just maybe the problem would be solved. Another huge problem is our neighboring country to the south (Mexico). It is evident when they allow someone who is also in their country illegally to march across their territory then to sneak into our country. How would the Mexicans feel if we provided safe haven for people crossing our nation so that they could enter Mexico and be a drain upon their programs that their people are paying taxes to provide for their fellow citizens?

 

Back to the hummingbirds, if they know there are no feeders on my porch they will not come here. Likewise if the illegals know they will not be allowed to simply walk in they will stop coming.
