Why come to the USA?

OK, I get it. People come to the USA from all over the world for a variety of reasons: to make money; to escape political oppression; to escape religious oppression; to better their lives and those of their family.

But what I don't get, and what apparently the Comrade and ICE and the so-called Cordoba Project doesn't get either, is that if any of them try to "fundamentally transform" the USA, all they really accomplish is to turn this country into the armpits and hell-holes they're fleeing.

So poor Mexicans want to come here for work. Fine, we can put together some kind of program -- we did a few decades ago and it seemed to work. But when millions of Mexicans come here, not necessarily to work, but to give birth to an "anchor baby" so that they can import all their relatives and live on welfare -- that doesn't do the USA any good. And when Mexican drug lords move in to claim whole sections of Arizona and Texas as their gang territory -- that only puts the USA at the mercy of criminal thugs and corrupts our government.

In effect, the USA degenerates into a poverty-stricken third-world rats nest of crime and corruption.

So here's an idea: When you come to the USA, leave all that crap back home. The USA doesn't want it, either. And isn't that why people come here? To leave all the garbage behind? Isn't that what the USA has always been about?

And I do believe muslim sharia law violates the First Amendment. We separate church and state in the USA. Sharia law doesn't. Why come to the USA if you want to live under sharia law? I mean, really, why not stay in Iran or wherever? Sharia law does not allow for free trade, free exercise of religion, the free exchange of ideas, prosperity, or personal liberty. Leave it where it is. We don't want it here.

If the Comrade, or Hamas, or Mexican drug gangs or anyone else wants to rewrite the rules for the USA, it will cease to be the USA. It will be just one more dumping ground for poverty and despair. No one seems to understand that.

So immigrants are welcome, as long as they understand they're going to have to come up to American standards, not pull the USA down to theirs.

And about that mosque at Ground Zero? Go ahead, build it. Then on some pretty, sunshiney day, maybe some wayward pilot will lose his way over Manhattan....

Hey, it could happen.

Save the republic.
