Refugees......From Where Ever


Refugees.....

The newest buzzword in and around the capitol this weekend.
I have listened to the protests and marches for the "rights" of refugees coming to America. The 14th Amendment is oft-cited by those who seemingly have no regard for America's borders as well as those who are attempting to get into my beloved country. I fully believe that this is one of the reasons that President Trump signed an Executive Order over the weekend that put a temporary halt to all immigration into the United States from those countries (mostly of Muslim origin) that pose a potential threat to America.

As a Navy Veteran, and one who has defended the Constitution of this great country, I find his apparent lack of information-gathering disturbing. However, I do understand what he is trying to accomplish.
Ask yourself, how many of the terrorist attacks within our borders within the past 2-3 years were committed by U.S. citizens who were either born in one of the countries in question, or at some point traveled to one of the countries in question?

I am not a Trump supporter, nor did I vote for him. And I believe he is doing what he feels is BEST for America, however poorly executed the strategy may be. I would be completely fine with stopping all immigration into this country until EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE HOMELESS VETERANS IN THIS COUNTRY HAD A PLACE TO LIVE. 
So everyone just take a breath and let the man do his job. If you don't like it, then I would highly suggest that the 45% of you that did not vote in this past election get off your can and participate in four years. And understand that YOU are the reason that he got elected to begin with!
