Praise Those Who Break The Law, Condemn Those Who Defend It.
Gay bashing? Woman hating? Hmm...that doesn't describe me. Apparently someone thinks that Republicans are this which is unfortunate. Do I hate gays? No. You love the person and hate the sin. Do I hate women? Of course not! Do I hate blacks, hispanics, or any other minority? No. Am I a Republican? Yes.
Do I want to keep people out of my country? That depends. I don't want terrorist to come into this country and I don't want immigrants who would just come in here and leech off of government programs. I am a decendant of immigrants. I think immigration is great for the United States, but I believe that there should not be an open border just to allow everyone in at once. I think that the process for naturalization should be streamlined. Should immigrants have access to public assistance? Hmm...not right away, but after they pay taxes for about a year I would say that we should make it available to them. Do I sound like a bigot or a racist? I don't think I do.
The only problem I have with immigration are those who have entered the country illegally. I think illegal immigration and turning our head to it is a slap in the face to those who have entered the country and became citizens through the proper channels.
It's a sad day when there are those who condemn those who try to protect their country by defending the border and praise those who break the law.
With that said I'll end with words from our late President Ronald Reagan:
I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.
-Ronald Reagan
