Trump's threat to use the military to close our southern border is a smart move
http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsPresident Trump acted boldly and decisively on Thursday when he threatened send troops to close our southern border and cut payments to Mexico and the countries of Central America if Mexico does not stop a caravan of some 4,000 Hondurans heading to the United States.
The president sent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to meet with government officials in Panama on Thursday and in Mexico on Friday to talk about border security. Hopefully, the president's threat will convince our southern neighbors that he is serious about effectively dealing with this vital problem.
President Trump understands that he must act to prevent new waves of illegal immigrants from entering the United States, putting themselves at risk and violating our immigration laws with impunity. If illegal immigrants believe they can enter the US UU At will, many more may choose to come here in violation of our laws.
the president tweeted Thursday morning: "... The assault on our country on our southern border, including the criminal elements and the DRUGS that are being poured, is much more important to me, as President, than to Trade or USMCA. Hopefully, Mexico will stop this attack on its northern border. All democrats are to blame for weak laws!
USMCA is the Agreement between EE. UU And Mexico-Canada for free trade among the three nations that is awaiting ratification as a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
President Trump added in another tweet: "... Besides stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest terms, ask Mexico to stop this attack, and if I can not do it, I will. call the US military UU and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER! .. "
Stopping the flow of illegal immigration should be a bipartisan issue, because Congress and the president are obligated to enforce our immigration laws.
If the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate believe that immigration laws should be changed, they should work with Republican colleagues and the president to try to do so. But ignoring the existing law by turning a blind eye to the flow of illegal immigrants is irresponsible.
Unfortunately, many Democrats see immigration as a political issue they can use to win votes in the November 6 midterm elections instead of a public policy issue that requires binding legislative solutions.
One of these Democrats is the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi of California, who inexplicably attacked President Trump in personal terms on Tuesday for his effort to obtain funds for his proposed border wall that would reduce the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs to our country.
"It happens that it is like a problem of virility for the president, to build a wall", Pelosi said, "And I'm not interested in that."
Pelosi tried to soften his position by providing general support to strengthen the US border, but it was too late. The political damage was done.
With less than three weeks before the mid-term elections, Pelosi fell into a political trap of his own creation. Her inflammatory comments are a clear reminder to voters how she and the Democratic Party are completely disconnected from the immigration system of the US state and how we should fix it.
When Democrats talk about immigration, it is almost always emphasized how immigrants in recent years have contributed to our current greatness.
No reasonable person would disagree with these large contributions, of course. But that is not the question before us. Rather, we must ask ourselves if yesterday's policies of the open embrace of immigrants will lead to the same kind of success tomorrow.
The answer, no matter how politically incorrect, is decidedly and undoubtedly "no". To understand why, we must look at the approximately 4,000 people in this writing who are heading towards our border with Mexico.
These people are part of a wave of migrants from Central and South America that lasted for decades. Most are destitute, with the hope of finding security and economic security in our country.
its numbers once they were amazing, with 1.6 million illegal immigrants coming to our border annually in the year 2000. Since 2010, that number has decreased to less than 500,000 a year.
However, none of these travelers followed US law to get here. If they had, they would have spent months in dialogue with their embassies or officials of the US consulate to process the appropriate paperwork.
So, why do not they follow the rules? Some are undoubtedly criminals. Mexican drug cartels, for example, earn tens of billions of dollars each year in the illicit drug trafficking. They use frequently children as drug mules to transport their dangerous cargo across the border and into the streets of the United States.
But many other immigrants skip our embassies and consulates because they know they will never be granted legal status. The reason is clear: they lack the skills, education and financial stability that would make them attractive additions for the American family.
But they still come. And when they enter our country, studies show that the majority ends up as a net drain for the economy and the government of the United States. In fact, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. state unequivocally that "first-generation immigrants are more expensive for governments than those born in the country."
In addition, the vast majority of these illegal immigrants lack a basic ability to speak English. In fact, the government places The figure that can speak English at less than 20 percent.
It is not surprising, then, that these workers tend to remain in low-paying jobs. Of the 10 best jobs held by immigrants (both legal and illegal), none earn more than $ 20 per hour and most are well below $ 15.
More worrying, there are good ones. data that suggests that these jobs pay so badly because wave after wave of illegal immigrants continue to come to them, depressing the wages of an excessive supply of labor. That, in turn, harms not only other immigrants but also native Americans, particularly those who do not have high school diplomas.
However politically flammable these facts may be, they are but a small sample of the great turmoil that is looming. At the end of 2016, the Obama administration published an alarming study that showed that more than 47 percent of US jobs could be eliminated due to technological advances in robotics, automation and machine learning.
The most vulnerable jobs? Those occupied by workers with lower wages, less skills and less education. In fact, President Obama warned that any American who earns less than $ 20 per hour, the average The salary for the workers of the factories of the EE. UU it is likely to be "automated in obsolescence".
None of these facts is controversial, or at least it should not be. They are simply a reflection of common sense backed by good science and rigorous study. And until 2008, they rightly formed the backbone of the Democratic Party's policies on immigration.
"We can not continue allowing people to enter the United States without being detected, without documenting and without reviewing" read the platform of the Democratic Party 10 years ago. "Those who illegally enter the borders of our country, and those who employ them, do not respect the rule of law."
Oh, that democratic wisdom is dead and gone. Instead, there is a group of immigration activists who believe that, on the other hand, the United States should embrace sanctuary cities, open borders and abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). Why? They see the deportation of illegal immigrants of any kind and for whatever reason an act of "ethnic cleansing. "
And so, the United States observes how the progressive mafia takes charge of a Democratic Party that was once proud. Unfortunately, we should expect more conversations about Trump's "virility" instead of securing the border and a strict adjustment of US immigration policies.
If the Democrats lose in November, the progressive fever may break and an appearance of normalcy may return.
But do not hold your breath. It is terribly difficult to put out a fire at a party full of arsonists.
