Reply #24: Would you welcome a stranger who broke into your house? [View All]

Illegal aliens have broken into our country. Common sense tells us that some of them are bound to be criminals, some of them violent criminals. Actually they're criminals by virtue of being here illegally, but I mean that some of them are bound to be robbers, burglars, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, con men, etc. Beyond that, many of them will have diseases and parasites that are endemic in their native country but not endemic here -- yet. By coming in illegally, they avoid any screening.

Are you going to be glad you welcomed a stranger with drug-resistant TB?

Or a stranger with malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, hookworms, tapeworms, Ascaris worms, liver flukes?

Or a stranger who is a terrorist and brings in smallpox, anthrax, or a suitcase nuke?

Or a stranger who sells cocaine to children in your neighborhood?

Or a stranger who breaks into your home and steals things that are precious to you?


Do you lock your door? If so, why? Don't you want to welcome the stranger into your home?

I help people in need but I lock my door because I don't want people in my home uninvited.


For the same reason, I don't want illegal aliens in the US. With legal immigration, we have a chance of screening out the bad people and we can control population growth. We can't welcome strangers unless we have room for them and jobs for them. Pretending we have endless space and endless economic growth and can invite everyone in is foolish.

If we don't get control of our borders, we will have serious social unrest in the future.
