Dreamers Causing Nightmares

A beautiful young lady spoke at her high school graduation. She spoke of courage in overcoming adversity and other noble ideals.

She's going to Yale next. I guess on scholarship but I am not sure.

Then she ruined it for me by revealing that she is an "undocumented alien" and repeatedly said "UA's are real people too". "Wow...deep", says Maynard G. Krebs. (Look him up under The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis).

In that confession she said the wall represents "hatred and prejudice", the predictable and vapid statement of the left.

I wrote the follow response to suggest that her view is both shallow, illogical and inaccurate. Clearly she was not taught the art of using logic in her valedictory journey. I doubt if they will help her with her deficiency at Yale either. Maybe life will later.

She is smart but very shallow and completely nieve.

The wall isn't about hate and prejudice, it's about law, order and a maintaining a level playing field for those who play according to the laws of our land. Her family broke our laws,  no matter how smart, courageous and sweet she may be. They cut in line to get the goodies, disregarding those waiting for their opportunity to go to Yale, or get a job.

No one ever said ILLEGAL immigrants (not undocumented. Documentation requires a respect for the law and a process of acceptance by the host country.) were not people too. Most are fine people. Many are awful, however. That's really what Donald Trump meant with his early words about the illegals.

We lock our doors at home because there are some nasty people who would do us harm if we didn't. There are locks - and border rules in every country - not because we hate people, but because we understand that while most will do us no harm, some certainly will.
The same goes for our businesses. Most citizens will do nothing if there were no locks, but some would, so we have locks.

Peace is the tranquility of order, not chaos. We need order on the border. (Augustine).

Our national borders are the same. We don't hate anyone because we make them obey our laws, but we must protect ourselves against those who want to harm us. All this "hate and prejudice" talk about the President's wall comes from shallow and manipulating people who have their own selfish agendas, seeking their personal good above the collective good of our nation and our traditions.

That's the part they don't get. It's the part that endangers our nation and scares all who want and understand the purpose of a wall. Empty headed celebrities and politicians who say "let's build bridges, not walls", live behind walls themselves, with armed guards and locks on their property. Why? Don't they love everyone?

America was built by those who "more than self their country loved... and America is sustainable only when "selfish gain no longer stain the banner of the free."

It's alarming to see this kind of story celebrated as she she openly flaunts the laws of our nations. Everyone rejoices in this young girl's success in overcoming her challenges, but I for one do not celebrate the fact that her naive words disrespect those who cherish our freedom and recognize that it's because of the law that we have any form of opportunity and security to pursue our dreams, as she did.

The sing says our "liberty [is] in our law".

Screw you American law, tradition and justice. I'm going to Yale. What are you going to do about it?
