Certain politically-correct refugee religious backgrounds are preferred while others are essentially ignored. And in almost no instance are the refugees properly-vetted
Seeing Through the Smoke & Mirrors of Government Sponsored Immigration
Having long admired your home as a place of peace and a comfortable living, a hungry man unlawfully breaks and enters and, his admiration having been confirmed, decides to take up residence. His family joins him, and soon new babies arrive to anchor his claim that he has a "right" to residence in your home.
He contributes to the welfare of your community through menial labor in construction, housekeeping, agriculture, and other important jobs, but the economic benefits of his work accrues mostly to himself and his family and to his employer who often pays substandard wages or who pays him "under the table."
Very few benefits come back to you because you are forced to provide him and his family expensive public education, emergency room medical care, food stamps, and other assistance because he is needy. In addition, some of his relatives, who have decided to continue crime following their initial act of breaking and entering, add greatly to the costs of police, courts, and incarceration, and losses to the victimized public.
Even more troubling: some of those who unlawfully break and enter have plans to commit violence against you and your loved ones. Yet the authorities sworn to protect you insist that the doors to your home remain essentially unlocked.
Politicians (looking for a constituency and votes), employers (seeking cheap labor), bureaucrats (needing the job security provided by being "needed"), and church denominations (desiring to show how "loving" they are) begin to champion those who break and enter, claiming that they have "human rights" to the blessings of your home. Then they begin a vigorous campaign to "resettle" into your home refugees from areas that the politicians' own policies have destabilized.
Certain politically-correct refugee religious backgrounds are preferred while others are essentially ignored. And in almost no instance are the refugees properly-vetted.
Your government has a functioning immigration system and a clear "path to citizenship" that others have legally followed for generations, but that's not good enough for the "dreamers," so-called by the previous national leader. Now his political party is declaring hundreds of "sanctuary cities" which will provide a cover for those who unlawfully break and enter.
Since you do not condone this lawlessness, you are called a "hater," your morality is questioned, and bizarre protests against you erupt around the country. But the leader you have elected seems to be holding firm, so you have hope.
"But what about the safety, security, and prosperity of my family?" you ask, bewildered by this devolving state of affairs. "Do I not have the right to the sanctuary provided the rule of law?" You begin to meet with other concerned folks, and in three election cycles you are able to elect a non-politician who promised to stop the invasion of your home. You hope that his political party will assist him in bringing sense to chaos.
