As
America another day of protests against Trump’s travel ban from 7 terrorist
countries has to endure
While
left wants open borders and even protests the deportation of felons that would
help to our safety insure
And
the right argues that illegals commit disproportionately more crime including
that of the violent sort
The
debate rages in a quagmire of a lack of facts to help us determine who and why
we should deport
For
every high profile case like Kate Steinle there are probably more cases of
illegals just trying to get ahead
Law
abiding save for not having drivers’ licenses and not bringing in drugs that
leave too many of our youth dead
No
one should be allowed in unless they have waited in line
That’s
how a nation is defined
But
demonizing aliens as a criminal mob the debate becomes confused and obfuscated
Having
data that is accurate on the number who commit crimes would go a long way to
have this issue rationally debated
Add
to that, accurate data on the number of jobs that cannot be filled
Either
because the pay is too low or there are not enough Americans skilled
And
you might be able to America great again instead of a main goal to extended
family members unite
You
might be able to the fear of lost jobs or lower pay take a very large bite
But
if and only if the border is secure
With
jail time for illegal entrants to inure
