More Walls To Build One To Destroy

Like the adage that a toddler needs to learn to stand before he can walk and then run

We must first secure our border before any serious discussions on immigration reform will have begun

Trump’s call for a wall to our border with Mexico secure is on point but only partially right

We need to build four more and tear one down to have any chance to win in this porous border fight

First additional one to build consists of a wall around each business consisting of e-verifies

Coupled with enforced fines and jail time for those hiring illegals and the requirements not to hire refuse to comply

Second would be the walls around Western Union and other services that wire money to Mexico back

No jobs and no way to send money to family in Mexico and the incentive to enter unless to carry drugs, illegals should lack

Third would be to build walls around our prisons and jails not to keep convicts in serving their time behind bars

But rather to keep wardens and sheriffs from releasing them before deportation  to rape, kill, assault or kill here as opposed to homelands afar

We are rightfully concerned the radical Islamists from abroad are coming across our nonexistent border to maim and kill

But the news that ICE has last year instead of deporting almost 20,000 convicted illegals released them here should give all a chill

When it comes to American safety this president’s policies on immigration put Americans not in second but in last

No wonder that Trump has hit a responsive chord to make American great and secure again and that those days of open border are past

Fourth and this may be the most difficult wall to construct as we are a Judeo-Christian and humanitarian nation at our core

We have to reduce the magnet of welfare payments to illegal aliens as our state and federal deficits continue to soar

Four more walls to build and one wall to tear down

No more sanctuary cities, no more sanctuary towns

If San Francisco is a haven where Kate Stenle can be killed by a multi-deported illegal walking on a pier in broad daylight

And be proud of its status, then the purse of federal funds flowing to that city is slammed shut and sealed tight

Will not be easy with Blue opposition to build these walls and destroy one but it must be done

Otherwise the struggle over a path to legal worker status or maybe a path to citizenship will never be won.
