"These darkies are like stray dogs. Best not to feed them or they'll follow you home."---Woman at a barbecue to Mad Dog, in Hume, Virginia
"There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner,
Who would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own"

Democrats have seized on the images of suckling babes being torn from the breasts of mothers at the Southern border by heartless Republicans while that pink cherub, Southern speaking Jeff Sessions quotes the Bible to justify the Democrat law which demands this nasty face of America.
Whatever happened to the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"?
As vile as the Freedom Caucus, with its moronic Louie Gohmert spewing invective about the invasion poised on our border, all those darkies just straining at the leash for a chance to flood across and rape white women and take our jobs (not necessarily in that order) there is, for Democrats, a trap here.
Sometimes it is best to Aude Alertam Partem, hear the other side.
Even cells have membranes, which separate the inside of the cell from the non cell parts of the body--although all membranes are permeable.
The question is: Is America a lifeboat in a stormy sea with only enough room for the few, and unless its inhabitants beat off those who frantically attempt to get on board, they will all go down together?
Or are we a wagon train, crossing the continent, and when someone falls off, we go back and scoop him up and put him on board?
It is probably an apocrophyal story but there is said to be a survey that showed 10% of all Chinese and 10% of all Indians would immigrate tomorrow to the States if given the chance.
It is no stretch of the imagination to think 100% of all Hondurans, El Salvadorans, Nicaraguans would come tomorrow, if they could. Maybe 2% of Mexicans.
So let's add up those numbers:
China: 130,000 million
India: 130,000 million
Honduras: 9 million
El Salvador: 6 million
Nicaragua: 6 million
That's 260,000 million from Asia, 21 million from Central America alone, not to mention Africa, and the rest of Asia.
If we welcomed all, English would be a minority language and the complexion of the nation would be very different. Which may not be a bad thing. But is this what those living here now would vote for?
Most of us can remember our grandparents, many of whom were immigrants.
The best thing my grandfathers ever did for me was to get on a boat and leave middle Europe and the Baltic.
But how generous can we be?
How generous do we want to be?
And if we were totally open, would we have benefited the very people, those huddled masses, or would we all go down in the stormy sea together?

I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would've stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death
Who wishes he would've stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death
I pity the poor immigrant
Whose strength is spent in vain
Whose heaven is like ironsides
Whose tears are like rain
Who eats but is not satisfied
Who hears but does not see
Who falls in love with wealth itself
And turns his back on me
Whose strength is spent in vain
Whose heaven is like ironsides
Whose tears are like rain
Who eats but is not satisfied
Who hears but does not see
Who falls in love with wealth itself
And turns his back on me
I pity the poor immigrant
Who tramples through the mud
Who fills his mouth with laughing
And who builds his town with blood
Whose visions in the final end
Must shatter like the glass
I pity the poor immigrant
When his gladness comes to pass
Who tramples through the mud
Who fills his mouth with laughing
And who builds his town with blood
Whose visions in the final end
Must shatter like the glass
I pity the poor immigrant
When his gladness comes to pass
Clearly we need some coherent strategy around immigration in this day and age (which admittedly is a different time than when most of our immigrant relatives came here). However, no rational person can believe that Demented Donald or his band of sycophants can craft such a policy. We need some inspired leadership which seemingly can only come from a new group of leaders on the national stage.
