Let's say you want to remove a visitor who has overstayed his or her welcome in your home, how would you approach the situation? Assume for the sake of argument this is a family down on its luck with young children and that you live on a limited income. First, a few gentle hints. Then, perhaps, a frank discussion. If that yielded no result, you probably would seek the help of law enforcement. But what if they refused to help? What options would you have? You could turn off water, electric, refuse to buy food but if reasonable negotiations failed, would you resort to force? The situation described above is exactly what we face as a nation. The trouble is that the vast majority of individuals are not personally, directly impacted by the immigration crisis. We are physically removed and emotionally manipulated to believe the liberal talking points. There is no mistaking the fact that what we are tolerating as a country is only due to the lack of enforcement of existing laws and Congressional gridlock. And most Americans are blissfully unaware of the truth about the situation thanks to selective reporting by the media. What a shame that a childish grudge is doing irreparable damage to our great country.
