[Old Dog New Trick]

I’ve been to some real shitholes in the world. Haiti being one of the worst and it wasn’t all our undoing, the local population sold their dignity for shiny trinkets and pennies on the dollar. Some of the worst shitholes I’ve been through are right here in America and not by immigrants, at least not black, brown, or other than white immigrants.

If the President of the United States referred to a shithole as a shithole in a private meeting with government leaders of both parties and both parties and the President can agree that the world is full of shitholes and we don’t need any more people from third world shitholes coming here until we can clean up some of our own shitholes.

If any of these Senators, Mayors or other elected officials want to sponsor immigrants from countries with no standards of life or living conditions and they will donate land, housing, utilities and sustenance for the life of those immigrants from their own privately owned lands and family money than I’m all for it.

I had to go over hurdles, jump through hoops of fire with the INS to bring my wife of foreign citizenship here. I had sign so many documents of financial support and swear to the creators of federal bureaucracy that she would not come to America on a non-immigrant visa and run off the join the circus. As such she still had to disclose to the American Embassy her financial situation at home was sufficient if she had to return for reasons of my delinquency. We’ve been married almost 20 years now and she became a US citizens after the birth of our child.

We did everything the right and legal way and at no time have we accepted a handout or free service from the government or American taxpayers.

Why is that so hard for our elected government to grasp?
