I am not someone who gets involved with politics, but when decisions affect everyone financially it is hard to keep quiet. Surely the citizens need to stand up to how they are being taken for fools.
If you though the illegal immigration was bad enough well guess what we were wrong because it is about to go up another level. Bees to a honey pot is what this is if it comes to fruition and the sad part is the US tax dollars are going to be funding it whether you agree with this or not. If you were looking for a new country to land in you have just been given a new incentive to head to New York. This is not what I would call the American Dream and more like the opposite. If you want to use tax dollars to fund terrorist cells then be my guest because you cannot be ignorant enough to think that won't be happening with no background checks required.
These figures are a year old and are guaranteed to have risen drastically. Did you know their is a smart phone app that allows you to apply for asylum before you hit the border entry points. What happened to needing a green card because freedom of movement is great, but movement in these types of numbers needs to be controlled.
The reality if you haven't noticed already is that the "leaders" around the world are all weak and what was considered normal thinking is now considered far right. I am no far right and no racist and consider myself as normal having an open mind and I am not comfortable with what is going on. The decisions being made are making everyone vulnerable and the consequences will be catastrophic.
If you think the likes of Putin is going to stop at Ukraine then think again because the West is clearly showing an open door. It started with Crimea as his test case followed by Ukraine because the rest of the world does not have the stomach to fight. The not so normals being the left will tell you to negotiate and you cannot negotiate under these circumstances.
When you have the vast majority of the American people with less than $1K in savings the message you are sending is that migrants are more important than their citizens. As a citizen of that country you are now regarded as of secondary importance which is what is fundamentally wrong with this
Social media today probably gives us far too much insight into what is going on globally as in the past we would have been "protected" and kept in the dark. There is so much information flowing it is hard to keep track and with most of it not being good news it is highly disappointing and depressing.
It is of no surprise to see the economies of the world struggling because so much is changing at such a rapid pace. Change costs money and the citizens of those countries are paying the price. We hear every country saying we need more housing which is coming of no surprise if you let hundreds of thousands of migrants in as they need to be housed and fed.
In South Africa we have had an open border since 1994 and look where we are now with the highest unemployment rates in the world. The statistics don't lie with services failing not being able to keep up with demand due to the new population numbers and a host of other reasons. The other reason or open borders is voting numbers because I know of Zimbabweans in possession of South African identity documents given to them illegally by party officials. Is this also the reason why America and Europe is being flooded by illegal migrants to keep those in power for letting them in?
I am going to Europe in the coming months and will be in London and Paris and what should be an enjoyable trip I have mixed feelings. The last time I was in Paris it was hard to ignore the illegal migrants who seemed to be all over the city and you cannot get away from them. London I am considering skipping altogether and still undecided if it is a must do shopping day or not.
The Mayor of London has said basically what the New York Mayor is saying that they need more migrants which is totally absurd. I was in New York 10 years ago and will not be returning and how many others will be thinking along those same lines. I am British and contemplating skipping London which would be revenue for those businesses that they will be now losing.
The world is changing and it is our fault for letting it happen because it is going to take a lot of blood and pain to return it back to normality.
