It was brought to my attention by a fellow Minds user that there are signs, pictured above, in organ Pipes National Monument Park in Arizona. Looking it up for myself, as I always try to check my facts, it made my stomach lurch to think that our borders are so unsecured that the inflow of illegals is unchecked and that the police and border patrol are counting on citizen reports to catch interlopers. Think about that for a minute and try not to get a cold chill up your spine that seizes your brain with icy fingers.
It's a real problem, and coming from someone who ridiculed "The Wall" when I first heard about it, I really do believe that we need something of that caliber to stem the tide of people entering this country illegally. We have a legal process to gain entry and I really don't care what conditions you're coming from, entering a nation against its rules makes you a fugitive. It's no way to live, no way to raise a family.
Let's talk about the impact upon the country being invaded. Sovereignty of self is worth preserving, and our cultures should not be put on the chopping block. Yes, I'm now specifically talking about the Sharia touting, Muhammad loving, Taqiyya abiding Muslim population. And before you jump my shit about being racist, let me make this perfectly clear: Islam is an idea, not a genetic reality. It is not a race, and belongs to no one and everyone. To the Moderates about to hike their pants and get defensive, claiming the people I am about to talk about aren't true Islamists, I remind you of the No True Scotsman fallacy in a logical argument.
Now, do other peoples come across the border illegally? Yes, in fact the majority of border crossing criminals is Hispanic, and no, I refuse to use Latinx, so go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself. I am not Politically Correct, get used to it or go somewhere else. Now where was I? Oh yes, illegal Hispanic interlopers. I know Central and South America suck. I know the Western world is much better, but that doesn't give them the right to just traipse in here without doing the proper paperwork and having their ones and zeroes entered into the government computer like the rest of us. And dammit, if you're 18 - 24 especially, your ass needs to be on the Draft List. you want to live here, pay your dues like the rest of us.
While I'm griping about immigrants, learn the God Damned language, please. Pretty please with sugar on top? It's English, the official language of the country you want to be in so badly. I don't care how hard it is for you to learn. I did it, you can too. Trust me, I'm intelligent but I frickin hated my English classes. It's boring and you want to rip your eyes out so you can choke to death on them, but we get through and graduate and we can forget all the little bits of grammar that you'll never use and carry on with your life.
Also, pay taxes, for crying out loud. You want the system to be there for you later in life, then be there for the system now. I feel like I shouldn't have to say any of this, but we're not talking about the best and brightest crossing illegally. If they had half a brain they cross with proper paperwork. I remember when Wop used to refer to Italians, don't make me feel old by turning this into a new thing I have to gripe about. Dammit, I feel old now.
Look, the end of the day comes and you find yourself falling to sleep in this country, wouldn't you rather sleep well knowing you are here legally? Wanted, even? Which brings me to Muslims again. Go away. You don't want to live here, you just want to take this country and turn it into the same kind of shithole you left by following ancient laws that oppress women and gays, and serve to put men on a pedestal. Get fucked. All of you. Either you're an extremist (Read fundamentalist) or a moderate apologist ready to hide your terrorist brothers from the law. You're part of the problem, go away.
I'm ending this here before I get hauled away and slammed into a prison cell for my criticisms. Peace.
