Uncontrolled immigration brings chaos, danger to host nations

Immigrants look for better pastures, leaving economic chaos, civil disorder, war and corrupt regimes behind. They never dream that in their wake they could bring the chaos and disorder behind them to the land of the free and the brave. But, that exactly is endangered today, where an exodus from war-ridden countries threatens to bring in anti-U.S. elements, including of those who have called for an American Hiroshima — the simultaneous explosion of nuclear bombs in American cities.

The risks are great. Those who say there is no evidence that any of those immigrants will plant bombs in the U.S. just because none have so far, are living in a fool’s paradise, especially here in Hawaii, which would be a top, rich target for terrorists because of the presence of the strong U.S. Pacific Fleet. It takes only one from the many dangerous countries to sneak through, whether via the Mexican border or an airport, and it could be a crisis for the U.S.

Wake up and smell the coffee. But, my liberal friends — and the media, in general — are in a stupor.

It is one thing to allow immigration and allow refuge to people from friendly or neutral countries, but quite another to allow immigrants from those who hate the USA, with whom the U.S. has had recent gun battles, who call it the Great Satan, and who threaten the U.S. with destruction and its allies with extinction. Do not forget they want “death to America.” What mad dog has bitten our liberal U.S. citizens that they would knowingly make it possible for such elements to enter America?

Have you all forgotten that no country will allow the good citizens of another to enter when the two are at war? Did Britain or Russia allow German or Japanese immigration during World War II, or vice versa? And, if people of a certain group keep targeting the USA and its allies with incendiary bombs, why would you not take action to defend yourself and stop adherents of that group from entering the U.S.? Why should America play into the hands of its enemies?

Of course, the enemies of the USA love the liberal values of Americans, because that makes it easier for them to penetrate U.S. borders, create societal turmoil, organize marches and install something like Sharia law in the future. It won’t be funny for the liberals when and if that happens.

But, it is astonishing how those of color in the USA tend to band together and vote for the same political party, making this melting- pot theory only half-true since it prevents true diversity. It seems that the seeds of a modern-day civil war are being sown right here, delivering the country to its enemies without them firing a shot.

The Big Davids of Hawaii are picking the wrong fight. And, I cannot see them winning the long war. Instead of seeking political revenge against a Republican president, to which even judges fall victim in their weakness, they need to stop frittering their energies and instead, apply themselves to works important for Hawaii.

Finally, the radical liberals who think that immigration control is about denying people basic freedom, and of disallowing families from uniting, are light years from reality. Liberal-minded citizens mustn’t be childlike and oppose President Donald Trump because they lost the election; they need to wake up to see the actuality of American security and safety.
