Recognizing
that secure borders are essential to a free and safe country, President Donald
Trump is insistent on securing our borders, particularly the southern one, and
would gladly build a wall to accomplish that necessary goal.
Whether it is
because Donald Trump is the one emphasizing securing the border, or whether it
is because the Left is soft on illegal immigration is less important than the
high degree of foolishness of their position. They couch their position on
“feelings” rather than national security and protecting Americans from the
expense of supporting people who come here illegally, or from those who are
dangerous criminals.
Some of the
more recognizable names on the Left, particularly many people elected to
Congress, make statements that can easily lead one to believe that they are
more concerned with the feelings of those illegals than of their fellow
Americans or of their own constituents.
A tripwire of
these statements is Trump’s use of the word “animals” to describe members of
the violent MS-13 gang and other ultra-violent intruders. And among those
objecting to the use of the term is the agenda media, some examples of which
follow:
* The
Washington Post: "Trump compares illegal immigrants to 'animals'"
* The New York
Times: "Trump calls some unauthorized immigrants 'animals' in rant"
* Huffington
Post: "Trump refers to immigrants as 'animals.' Again."
* USA Today:
"Trump ramps up rhetoric on undocumented immigrants: 'These aren't people.
These are animals.'"
* Vox:
"Trump on deported immigrants: 'They're not people. They're
animals.'"
But, of
course, they were all wrong. Were they wrong because they have no idea about
how to produce an accurate news story, or because the truth intrudes on their
Leftist and anti-Trump agenda?
Unless you can’t
understand English or have an agenda, anyone who listened to, watched or read
the entire text of the statement knew immediately that Trump was not talking
about all illegal aliens or immigrants, but was addressing the vile and repulsive
members of the venomous and violent MS-13 gang. The gang, whose motto is “kill,
rape and control,” has a left a long trail of violence in its wake.
However, Trump
is wrong in using the word “animals” to describe MS-13 members. In doing so he
has insulted animals everywhere by comparing them to the lowlife MS-13 creatures.
While the U.S.
has problems with people who try and succeed at sneaking into the country, a
nation with perhaps the most serious border problems is Israel.
The Jewish
nation has accomplished great things in medicine, technology, and agriculture,
and operates on democratic principles; it is a bright spot in a troubled world
region. Despite this impressive record of accomplishments that benefit the
entire world, some of its neighbors want Israel gone. It is surrounded by relatively
huge Arab nations, with Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan either
on its border, or not many miles away.
The Palestinians
have been conducting protests on the Gaza border for weeks, and they claim that
the border protests are peaceful and civilian-led, which was parroted by elements
of the western media. But in fact, they have grown more violent over time. The
protest earlier this month found participants creating dark smoke to hide their
movements toward the border by setting tires on fire, trying to break down the
border barriers and starting fires in Israeli territory by flying kites over
the border that had canisters of burning gasoline on them.
Having warned
the Palestinians not to attempt to cross the border, when the warnings were
ignored the Israeli Defense Forces defended their border, resulting in 64
Palestinians being killed and hundreds more wounded. Unfortunately, that included
a few women and children. More information on that follows.
This defensive
border action received a harsh response from the UN Human Rights Council, whose
chief labeled the Israeli response "wholly disproportionate," and
called for an international investigation, as well as widespread condemnation
from the anti-Israel media.
This is not a
surprise, given the non-secret disdain for the Jewish state of many UN members.
While the automatic response of Israel-haters everywhere is to blame Israel for
the so-called “unconscionable murder of women, children and peaceful Palestinians,”
the truth is quite different from that account.
A Hamas
terrorist who was captured after he had breached the border told Israeli
officials that the violence in the protests was the work of his organization.
And an official of Hamas, Salah Bardawil, said, “In the last rounds of
confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas,” members of the
Palestinian terrorist organization.
The captured
Hamas terrorist also said that the Islamic terrorist organization used women
and children as shields, promising them they would be safe if they moved to the
front line of the protest.
The Hamas
terrorists among the protesters were armed with Molotov cocktails, guns and knives, and hid behind women
and children in hopes of being able to break through the border barrier.
The accurate information
about the terrorists taking part in this violent Hamas attack is not readily
available, due to the bias of the United Nations and media outlets.
