The Travel Ban

So we don’t need extreme vetting, we aren’t being fair to people who seek refuge in this country, and the ban on travel is unconstitutional. These are things people have been saying but have they checked the facts or really listened to the people who know what they are doing and why, or are they doing the usual? Are they just listening to the whiners whine, kick up a fuss, and cause chaos or are they actually thinking for themselves? Are they remembering all we and other nations have lost at the hands of terrorists? I don’t see how they could be.

Looking back the terrorist’s attacks on our own soil between 1960 and 1969 there were 13 in that ten year span with the most memorable for many is the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. President Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dealey Plaza in Dallas. While trying to escape Oswald also killed a Dallas police officer. The next decade was no better from 1970 to 1979 there were 16 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil with the two worst being in 1975 the bombing of LaGuardia Airport and in 1977 when Hanafi Muslims hijacked three buildings in Washington, D.C. taking 149 hostages. From 1980 to present time terror attacks on our soil have not lessened. There were eleven in the 1980’s, a staggering twenty two in the 1990’s, from 2000 to 2009 we were hit with twenty seven with the worst being September 11, 2001 with more than 2977 dead and over 6,000 injured. From 2010 to present day there has been a staggering forty one attacks on our soil. Granted they have ranged from bombings, hostage taking, suicide attacks, shootings, and assassinations but no matter what they are, they are still terror attacks be it foreign or domestic. True not all attacks resulted in the loss of lives or even injury but that doesn’t matter because someone is still out there trying to instill fear in the hearts and minds of the American people.

Over the last eight years there have been increased rioting in the streets, people have lost their homes, the businesses, all in the so called name of peace. I am sorry but that is domestic terror and no one should have to live that way. No parent should have to fear for their child’s safety because some spoiled brats wants to stamp their feet and hold their breath in order to change things in this country. If they really wanted to make a difference then they would find themselves a job and stop all this craziness.

How soon we forget the lives lost and changed forever on September 11, 2001. People are up in arms because we have a President who wants to put a hold on allowing people who cannot be vetted properly into this country. For all those who feel this is unconstitutional I have a question or two for you. Number one, can you tell me what you were doing the morning of September 11, 2001 when the first plane struck the World Trade Center? I know where I was and I know what I watched on television for the next week at least. I know men and women who volunteered to go and help at ground zero only to lose their lives later due to illness’ they got for their good deeds but that didn’t matter to them because their country needed them. Number two where in our Constitution does it say that people who are not American born, share the rights of our constitution? Nowhere, our Constitution states, “We the People” of this great nation. It does not extend our rights to anyone who is visiting or wishes to visit or is here illegally.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate immigration. In 1952, Congress passed a law empowering the president to deny entry into the U.S. to “any class of aliens” considered to be “detrimental to the interests of the United States.” In case you don’t get it that means a danger, threat, to America. It is true that in 1965 there was a subsequent immigration law that states no discrimination based on race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence.

Once again we have become a nation of acceptance. We are more concerned with hurting people’s feelings then we are about the safety of this great nation. I may not be able to recall every last terror attack on our soil but to be honest even one attack over the last forty years is too much. The way this country pulled together after the attack on September 11, 2001 was classic America. Strangers helping strangers, no one questioning why just doing for the better good.

Now, we have a group of crybabies that want to know what’s in it for them instead of helping out where needed. Everyone suddenly feels they are entitled and that also means anyone who wants to enter this country has the right to do so regardless of our laws and security. No, it doesn’t work that way. There are laws for a reason. The laws set forth in our Constitution are for our protection, for national security.  Why would we suddenly open the doors and let anyone and everyone in?

Here’s a question for all you bleeding hearts, if we were to let in anyone who wants to come into this country without a job or a place to stay are you willing to open your door and allow them to stay in your home with you and your family? Would you be willing to allow them to stay with you, rent free, no job and as your responsibility to see to it they have everything they need just as if they were your child, your family? I think not! You know why you wouldn’t because you have no idea who they are or what they could get themselves into that you would now be responsible for. Let’s not even mention the fact you have no clue if they would cause any harm to you or your family. Your security would be in danger.

Well, that’s what is going to happen if we just keep opening the doors and allowing people in without the proper vetting and papers needed to be here legally. I do agree if someone has been in this country a long time and can prove it, has been an honest, hardworking person without a criminal record and has family ties due to having children born here, then let’s help them find a way to become legal in this country. Anyone with a criminal record no matter how minor, should be deported. I do not feel we should be easier on one than the other.

We, as a nation, need to stand together and stop letting the whiners bully their way to the front of the line just because they can, so they can be heard and all logic goes out the window. The mainstream media is never going to be happy with anything President Trump has to say or wants to do. My God, I listen to them during their news casts and they refer to him as Mr. Trump which is disrespectful since, newsflash folks, he won the election in November and was sworn in, in January. No you were not dreaming! It’s really time to wake up folks and come together for the good of all.

We have seen enough destruction on our soil and we don’t want to see anymore. Americans are a strong breed, we stand strong, together, and united. We have never run from a battle and we never will. The big mouths today who want to have their way have no idea what it is truly like to be an American. To all these followers out there I want to say the next time you stand in protest why not ask the person next to you to show his or her face instead of hiding behind their mask. They aren’t brave and fighting for a cause they are cowards and fighting to bring chaos and destruction to our land. Don’t allow yourself to be fooled, don’t trust anyone who makes promises to give you something for nothing. Those people out there destroying your neighbor’s property, business, and your neighborhood aren’t doing it for the good of this country. They are out there trying to push for our destruction and as a proud American I can tell you, it’s a fight they will lose.

I stand behind the travel ban not because I don’t want a certain class of people to come here but because I want those who are already here and those yet to come to remain safe and protected on the shores of these United States.

May God Bless America and show all those so easily fooled.
