I did not vote for the current POTUS.  My reason was simple.  I didn’t feel like he had the character that I think is required for the position.  I knew she didnt, Hillary I mean.

He has done some things that may be good for our country in the short and long run.  For that I am thankful.  We don’t need a Korean peninsula that is about to implode on a daily basis.  We need a vibrant economy as many, including myself, feel that it’s the only way for our country to grow and return to its place in the world.  Here is where the rub comes in.  Is our place in the world the one that has to feed the rest of the world?  Are we the only keepers of our brothers?  Is it time to put a new sign on the Statue of Liberty?

Give us your tired, your hungry, your oppressed, but only if they are able to help themselves and do not need to be spoon fed for the next 2 generations.  We are a nation that was founded on christian values of helping one’s neighbors and for that I am proud, however, could we get some help from some of the other nations ?  Germany kicked their doors open to refugees and got themselves overrun with undesirables, people who now think they are owed a way of life they couldn’t provide for themselves.  Owed.  We are following that same path.  We are now torn between our christian values and the practical matters that should tell us we can’t take care of the world all by ourselves.  We have politicians that are going to shoot themselves in the foot simply because their opposition thinks in a different manner.  The problem is that they are shooting us in both feet at the same time.   We see the mayor of NYC standing against a fence in McAllen , Texas demanding to see a supervisor about the handling of an immigration matter.  He didn’t have to travel all that way.  He could have simply stood on the steps of the NYC mayors mansion and announced that NYC would take them all and provide for them.  Problem solved.  Ask yourselves why he didn’t do that.  A couple of thousand children and their accompanying parents would not have been a drop in the bucket for the “big apple”.  Or would it?

I am not sure what the answer is.  Seperating the children doesnt seem to make anyone happy so maybe we should simply say, ” No More”.  Close the gates, so to speak.  You can camp on our door steps but you cant come in.  We catch you sneaking thru the fence, coming illegally, you get sent back home that same day.  No few days of food and rest in our country while we decide what to do.  People who pay exhorbitant amounts of money to coyotes to smuggle them in cant do that forever.  They will run out of money eventually.
