Another Hail Mary Attempt from
the Left to Deny Trump His SCOTUS Pick
by Brian C. Joondeph { americanthinker.com } ~ June was a tough month for the left. It began with a successful North Korean summit, followed by news that the economy is hotter than even the current heat wave embracing much of the country... The Supreme Court handed President Trump a win on the travel ban on nationals from terrorist-heavy countries, along with a handful of other decisions which are displeasing, to say the least, to dummycrats-Democrats. The month culminated with Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s imminent retirement, providing the president with his second SCOTUS nomination in as many years. Liberal heads are exploding on cable news shows and on the sets of unfunny late night comedy shows. Last week Trump was a Nazi, this week he is overturning Roe v. Wade and Brown v. Board of Education, sending America back into the dark ages. The left is now trying to disqualify any of Trump’s potential court nominees. Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren is front and center in the resistance saying the president’s “short list of Supreme Court nominees was hand-picked by right-wing extremists who want to criminalize abortions and punish women who have them.” Hey, at least it wasn’t a bunch of Nazis left-wing extremists, by the way suggesting nominees, just “right-wing extremists.” Not yet, at least... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/07/another_hail_mary_attempt_from_the_left_to_deny_trump_his_scotus_pick.html .
Israeli Lawmakers Still Can't Freely Visit Israel's Holiest Site
{ israeltoday.co.il } ~ Israel is a country that prides itself on the level of religious freedom enjoyed by all citizens, regardless of race or creed... Especially given the religious oppression and suppression prevalent in the nations surrounding her. But there's still one group in the Jewish state that suffers under a severe restriction on its religious expression - the Jewish people. In its exaggerated efforts to be sensitive to the whims of every other group, Israel still forbids Jews to freely visit their most sacred site, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This can be most readily seen in the absurd restrictions placed on Members of Knesset who wish to ascend Judaism's holiest site... http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/34352/Default.aspx .
Hezbollah's Indefinite Presence in Syria
by Sirwan Kajjo { gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ After weeks of shuttle diplomacy allegedly carried out by Russia and Israel, Iranian forces and allied militias... including the so-called "military wing" of the Lebanon-based organization Hezbollah, all of which has been designated as a terrorist group by the US -- reportedly began to withdraw from parts of southern Syria, near Israel's border. According to other reports, however, many Hezbollah fighters, disguised as members of the Syrian army, have simply remained on their bases to escape being targeted by the Israel Air Force. Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Israel's air force has carried out sporadic strikes against Iranian and Hezbollah bases and convoys across its neighbor on the north. After more than seven years of fighting alongside the Assad regime in Syria, the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is highly unlikely to make an easy exit from the war-torn territory, no matter what supposed agreements are reached or promises made. In a televised speech on "Quds Day" -- which Iran has marked every year since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 -- Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah addressed his supporters as follows... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12608/hezbollah-syria.
Canada is Funding and Supporting
Terrorism Front Groups with Taxpayers' Money
by Tom Quiggin
{ investigativeproject.org } ~ The government of Canada plans to funnel $23 million to combat "Islamophobia," Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid announced last week... The money is an outgrowth of Canada's M-103 "Systemic racism and religious discrimination" bill that called on the government to "condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination." It is not clear how the money will be divided, but Islamic Relief Canada and the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), formerly known as CAIR-CAN, are poised to receive significant amounts. That's a problem because both groups have been accused of supporting terrorists... https://www.investigativeproject.org/7514/canada-is-funding-and-supporting-terrorism-front.
Harvard-Harris Poll: 76% of Registered Voters
Do Not Support ‘Open Borders’
by Jonathan Mizrahi { cnsnews.com } ~ A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that 76% of registered American voters do not believe the United States should have “open borders,”... and 61% said current U.S. border security is “inadequate.” In the June 24-25 online survey of 1,448 registered voters, Harvard-Harris asked, “Do you think we should have basically open borders or do you think we need secure borders?” Seventy-six percent of the respondents 1,093 people said “we need secure borders.” Twenty-four percent of respondents 354 people said “we should have basically open borders.” In another question, Harvard-Harris asked, “Do you think current border security is adequate or inadequate?” Sixty-one percent said border security is “inadequate,” and 39% said border security is “adequate.”...
.How to Humanely Reduce Unlawful
Immigration and Shut Down Open-
Borders dummycrats-Democrats
by Gene Schwimmer
{ americanthinker.com } ~ Today's lesson on morality and human rights comes from the probable according to polls next president of our crime-infested and corrupt neighbor to the south (emphases added):
Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States, ...declaring it a "human right" for all North Americans.
"We will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life in the United States."
Apparently, the U.S. must welcome an unlimited number of these unwanted, by their own president, Mexicans, because the U.S. is morally obligated to serve as Mexico's social-dysfunction safety valve and ATM.
Did you know that "chutzpah" is the same in Hebrew and Spanish? On the other hand, everyone knows that Obrador can count on a large cohort of dummycrats-Democrats, who share his view:
Lest anyone misunderstand, when dummycrats-Democrats say "the," they mean "all." Today, it's "family separations"; tomorrow, who knows? But whatever the dummycrats-Dems' démagogie du jour, most Americans want illegal immigration greatly reduced and, ideally, eliminated. The latter, most likely, is a pipe dream. But not only can the former be done. It can be done using methods already tried and proven.
First, yes, we need a wall. If the tooth-and-nail opposition of our open-border dummycrats-Democratic friends is insufficient evidence that a wall would work, consider, as President Trump has, Israel's wall. Israel had an illegal alien problem, too – or she did, until she built a wall, as a February 2017 Senate report confirmed:
The number of illegal crossers on the Israel-Egypt border dropped after the construction of the fence, from more than 16,000 in 2011 to less than 20 in 2016 – a 99 percent decrease.
One can argue, as some do, that other Israeli measures contributed to the decrease. But there can be no doubt that the wall was the primary, and a major, factor.
So a wall – and ending chain migration, and ending the visa lottery, and mandatory E‑Verify – will greatly reduce unlawful immigration. But there is one more thing government can do.
Allow the writer, whose father immigrated to America as a refugee, in 1948, to elucidate:
When the writer's dad got off the boat, he did not simply disembark in Manhattan, casually stroll streets paved with gold and buy the Brooklyn Bridge. First, he had to stop here:
In the first half of the 19th century, most immigrants arriving in New York City landed at docks on the east side of the tip of Manhattan, around South Street. On August 1, 1855, Castle liar-Clinton became the Emigrant Landing Depot. ...When the U.S. government assumed control of immigration processing, it moved the center to the larger, more isolated Ellis Island facility on January 2, 1892 ... because immigrants were known to carry diseases, which led to epidemics of cholera and smallpox.
The key word in the above quote is "isolated," as in no physical route for unlawful aliens on to the mainland.
Then, the dangers were cholera and smallpox. Today, the dangers are MS-13 violence, lack of education and marketable skills, and the threat of someday becoming citizens and voting for dummycrats-Democrats. In both cases, the problem was a threat to the population from foreign immigration. And in both cases, the solution was to isolate new arrivals until they could be properly vetted and admitted into the mainland U.S. lawfully.
The writer lives in New York City, and last time he checked, Ellis Island was still there, repurposed as a museum. So how about making so-called catch-and-release unnecessary by returning Ellis Island to its original use and supplementing or replacing the current buildings with one or more new, modern dormitories, where illegals seized at the border could be housed comfortably, for as long as required, and with no need to separate families?
On the other hand, Ellis Island is on the opposite side of the country from the Mexican border, where the main problem is. Alcatraz Island is not. What about the Virgin Islands, Guam, or any number of U.S. island possessions, where the climate is both comfortable and similar to that of Mexico and Central America? The specific location is less important than that there be no physical access to the mainland, nor would the housing need to be overly expensive – Quonset huts if space allows, or easily convertible, and stackable, cargo containers.
Or even tents, as the Navy is already planning:
The U.S. Navy drafting plans to house up to 25,000 immigrants on its bases and other facilities, at an estimated cost of about $233 million over six months, as the Trump administration seeks to ease a mounting crisis on the Mexican border. ...
The draft document ... also says that a Navy base in California could house up to a further 47,000 people.
Problem solved...almost. It's a good plan, but with one major flaw: perhaps the writer is mistaken, but it seems that all of the proposed military bases are on the mainland U.S. Again, the locations should be isolated, with no physical connection to the mainland. There is also the issue of cost and not just the $233 million for six months (so $466 million per year); one company has a $162-million contract "to fly immigrant children to shelters across the United States."
There is a better, and possibly cheaper, solution. It's staring the Navy right in the face.
Surely, most readers know that the Navy maintains a reserve, or "mothball," fleet of decommissioned ships anchored in various parts of the country, including California.
Your typical aircraft carrier houses about 6,000 sailors. But think of all that extra space on the (unused) flight deck. Aircraft carriers also have kitchens specifically designed to feed thousands of people.
America is not suffering from a shortage of decommissioned ships. Why pay hundreds of millions of dollars to fly apprehended illegals to multiple locations around the continental U.S. when the Navy can move the ships to the immigrants, anchoring as close to the problem as possible but far enough from shore to keep illegals from accessing the mainland? Other mothballed ships could ferry large numbers of illegals to and from the offshore ships far more cheaply than flying them all over the country.
Additional ships could even return rejected aliens to their home countries – preferably, as Eisenhower did, on the side of the home country farthest from the U.S.
Should any liberal open-borders dummycrats-Democrat complain, just casually mention, preferably publicly, that American sailors lived on those same ships, for much longer, and make popcorn while dummycrats-Democrats explain why what was good enough for American sailors is not good enough for foreigners, who have done nothing for America and who have no legal right even to be here.
Let all potential trespassers know that should they manage to violate our border, the only part of America they will ever see is the part of America they can see from the deck of a ship before being transported on a slow boat back to their home countries, and unlawful immigration will drop. Like a rock.
