“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” is just a poem on a statue. When it comes to protecting America from undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers, the government is finally stepping up. This isn’t the first time we’ve detained thousands of people we’re afraid of. During World War II, we protected our country by forcing Japanese-Americans into internment camps. We even made this handy propaganda film to make us all feel fine about it. The uncertainty of what would happen among these people in case of a Japanese invasion still remained. That is why all Japanese within the coastal areas should move inland. We are protecting ourselves without violating the principles of Christian decency. In Romans 13: “To obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government.” History won’t repeat itself on its own. It takes good old-fashioned elbow grease. Whether it’s immigration or the travel ban, we’ve got your back. Newly arrived immigrants full of potential come to the border looking for safety and to pursue their American dream. Little do they know that dream is dead. Now, zero tolerance doesn’t mean zero fun. We first launched our program with special tender-age centers. Sorry, parents. This is a kids-only zone. They receive three square meals a day, shiny blankets and trauma they can keep for the rest of their lives. We give them meals, we give them education. We give them medical care. There’s videos. There’s TVs. The Army provided housing, plenty of healthful, nourishing food for all. The residents of the new community set about developing a way of life as nearly normal as possible. We know this probably looks crazy. But don’t worry, the administration knows exactly what they’re doing. No more free passes, no more get-out-of-jail- free cards, no more lawlessness. I hate the children being taken away. The Democrats have to change their law, that’s their law. We would like to fix these loopholes. And if Democrats want to get serious about it instead of playing political games — They can’t do it through an executive order. Thank you, sir, for your leadership. Thank you very much. Great job. O.K. You‘re going to have a lot of happy people. Naturally, the newcomers looked about with some curiosity. They were in a new area, on land that was raw, untamed, but full of opportunity. Here they would build schools, educate their children, reclaim the desert. More than 2,300 children were separated from their parents since April, with no imminent plans to reunite them. But after the president’s executive order, families will be detained together. And it’s all being done in the name of deterrence. Another way of saying, scaring the [expletive] out of immigrants who are already scared so [expletive] they’ve left everything behind and risked their life. Now, deterrence isn’t a long-term solution. But it sure sounds like it’s keeping you safe.
