First know that I am not a smart man. I don't know politics or anything about money because I have never had enough to worry about anyhow.
I'm there with ya.
However common horse sense tells me that a country fixes it's problems by firstly stopping all outside aid to others...
And if horses ran the country that would be good reasoning. In point of fact the reason America supports a lot of whom they do is because it is in America's direct interest. Our support of Germany and Japan in terms of defense was precisely so they WOULDN'T re-establish a military and become a regional threat. That helps stabilize OUR interests in trade etc.
We'd MUCH rather have a stable Europe that is a solid, first world trading partner than have to keep sending our troops over there to quiet their in-fighting, AND we want NATO because Russia (certainly at one time) was our primary threat to our "existence".
Israel? We need an ally in a region that is EXTREMELY important (or was at one time) to our fuel needs. (Plus we want to encourage more democracies)
Build that build fence, keep jobs here in America and get this country financially secure and God blessed again,
That's the point: there's no real reason according to countless experts to put a fence 2000 miles along the entire border. A lot of that border is "self-defeating" because it kills people trying to cross it!
The debate is what amounts to RATIONAL use of our money. We don't just throw money at a problem because a man who doesn't read thinks simply and sells his base on a pipedream.
Then at that point we will be very powerful and will be able to extend aid and help others to get on their feet. No more frede handouts but handups.
You DO realize, right, that
we encourage illegal immigration by hiring illegals in the US because they work much cheaper than Americans and do some of the worst jobs we can't imagine doing for pennies, right?
Don't be so quick to cast stones OUTWARD when in reality WE are the problem in many cases.
Visit Southern California. Go to literally ANY HOME DEPOT parking lot in the morning on ANY DAY. You will see a bunch of illegals on the edges of the parking lot waiting for
AMERICAN CONTRACTORS to pick them up to take them to a worksite.
That was a very common site in the town I used to live in.
Oh, yeah, and if you want to see a group of FAMILY-ORIENTED, RELIGIOUS people who are intensely community focused and have a lower per capita crime rate than regular Americans
look to communities that are loaded up with illegal immigrants.
These people are actually good people. I wish they didn't come in illegally, but when here they aren't as much of a threat as we are told.
This is my southern fried view of how it should be. IDK, Maybe I should run for President.
No, you probably shouldn't. We need people who understand the real world, not just "southern fried common horse sense" which seems to be anything but. Heck, I've got a PhD and a lifetime of experience analyzing data and information and there's no way _I_ could run the country.
