I don’t think many Americans understand how difficult it is to come to America legally.
I know some of my own friends who are academics who are not allowed to work between teaching jobs and have spent the past year in legal limbo, constantly waiting to see if they can remain in the United States. Masu.
I know a couple in Georgia, where the husband is American and the wife is British, who, despite being married and living together for years, still cannot legalize as husband and wife and are unable to come to the US. I’m thinking of going.
The only reason I mention the plight of law-abiding people is because it contrasts so sharply with the situation of law-breakers.
Pro-immigration politicians in the United States are vocal about their support for those who enter the United States illegally.
But it is rare to find representatives who stand on the side of those who try to do everything by the book.
While many representatives speak for lawbreakers, few defend or support law compliance.
Because it is clear that the immigration situation in this country is running away from representation.
human cost
The human scale of this is devastating.
Not only communities that are divided and destroyed, but also people who give most of their wealth to the cartels and come here in search of a better life.
Allowing this constant flow of human misery will only make America even poorer.
The only people who really benefit are the cartels. What an incentive structure to build.
Just this week, a Texas sheriff found an 18-year-old illegal immigrant at the southern border.
This young man handed over all his property, $3,000, and was abandoned by the cartel who were following him, giving him another $3,000, and wandered in the desert for two days.
The gang initially tried to recruit him, but then abandoned him.
“I want to go home to my mother,” he said, crying.
What country would do something like this? Encourage law-breaking while discouraging law-abiding people?
Well, there are actually examples.
For the past decade, Sweden – yes, lovely, perfect Sweden – has done just that.
There was a time, not too long ago, when Scandinavia was thought to be the answer to everything.
Everything was supposed to be better over there: trust, safety, health care, hot drinks.
But 10 years ago, the country’s leftist government decided to offer bounties to people who entered the country on foot.
It would allow it to admit the same percentage of its population as the United States currently admits.
And that decision had consequences.
All the stories Americans have been told not to talk about in recent years, Swedes shouldn’t have realized as well.
Sometimes large bearded men would come to the country, claim to be child refugees, and immediately enroll them in classrooms full of children.
After all, what’s wrong with allowing adults from often dangerous countries to sit with groups of teenagers all day?
Bigot!
In some cases, there was a significant increase in rape and sexual assault.
One of the few investigations allowed in recent years found that 99 of 112 gang rapists in Sweden had a foreign background.
But again, you didn’t mean to mention it. “You’re saying all immigrants are rapists,” he said, followed by taunts.
And, of course, no one was supposed to talk about it, but many say that the rise in sexual assaults appears to be very closely correlated with the sudden arrival of tens of thousands of unaccompanied men. People couldn’t help but notice.
The men often said they had fled war zones, but it appeared they had left their families behind in their hometowns.
ticking bomb
And the most serious violent crimes increased.
When grenade and other bomb attacks started happening in Sweden, there was no way the local population would notice either.
“Are the grenades going to go off again?”
“No, it’s just part of the traditional lighting of the Christmas tree. Just all year round. Plus more noise.”
Initially, the increase in bombings was suppressed by the Swedish media.
But now the Swedish media has to report it too.
The point is that in just a few years, Sweden has gone from a peaceful paradise to the second most bombed country in the world that is not at war.
The only country with more bombings is our neighbor Mexico.
How did it happen?
The main reason, as here in the United States, is that our politicians don’t bother enforcing the laws at our borders, preferring to defer reality while pretending to be benevolent and kind.
After all, it’s better than looking mean and mean, right?
One person who is now saying otherwise is Louise Meyer.
She was one of the Swedish lawmakers who voted to widen her country’s borders in 2015.
Or, in her words, she “took a stand for openness.”
But Meyer said in an interview this week that he has “changed my mind on this issue” and now supports “much stricter immigration policies than what I was against at the time.”
“The changes that Sweden has undergone and are currently undergoing are fundamentally changing the country,” she said.
“After mass immigration, there are some big problems.”
These include “serious organized crime,” the fact that the new arrivals are “not self-sufficient,” and that their “culture of honor, separatism and Islamism is restrictive and dangerous.” included.
Reminds me of Meyer in 2015.
She was just like today’s American politicians and media people who don’t like to speak up for the law.
People who make life as easy as possible for those who break the law while continuing to make life difficult for law-abiding people.
They, too, just want to “promote openness.”
Perhaps those who like to think of themselves as such people of the world could actually look to other countries of the world.
See once-peaceful and beautiful Sweden and realize that your poses have real-world consequences.
First of all, for everyone else.
Next time it’s just you.
