Sally, this deserves a dozen sixes! Good for you, telling all this. The media slants things to make President Trump look cruel. We all voted for him because he said he'd keep the illegals out. They come here, dragging their country with them, and don't want to be American. If their old place was so great, let them stay there. You're right - we're going to lose everything we believe in, and the country will be become just like what they escaped. Do you notice how they never say President Trump, usually just Donald Trump. Outrageous! Especially after the eight years we had before him.

Thank you so much for the outstanding six review and support! Yes, our President is always shown in the worst possible light. He is protecting all of us from this violent mob and he is being called cruel and inhumane. Totally ridiculous! We must hold to what is in the best interest of our nation and it?s citizenry.
All my best,
Sally
Comment from poetwatch
You speak the truth, Sally. I opposed the border wall because it made me feel imprisoned. Yet, I see it as a necessity, for the reason that it is an invasion, a way thought up by the enemies of America. By bringing in people from different countries in large groups these enemies would bring our country to its knees. The first thing that these unknowns do is send in the pawns. A chess game played by those in power to see what we will do. I don't like Trump, but I agree with him.

Thank you so much for your review and support. I appreciate your input here and value your opinion very much. Although my homeland is not perfect, my ancestors spilled their blood so that I could be free and dwell here securely. I will not give it up to violent intruders who have more than questionable motives. I pray our border is secured, with or without a wall we must hold it secure.
All my best,
Sally
Comment from judiverse
I agree with you about the horrors that open borders would bring. When I see the pictures of the approaching caravan, I see predominantly young men who do not appear to be oppressed in any way. They are surely physically strong if they made the long trip. They don't look to me like a bunch fleeing persecution (as the Jews would have been when Nazis occupied their countries). We can't have unaccounted-for people in the country. My suggestion is to send all the migrants to California and let the wealthy movie moguls, Nancy Pelosi, and Bill Gats and other Silicon Valley billionaires take care of them. The government can't afford to do so. You do a great job of bringing in specific information and questions to make readers think (such as about do you lock your home at night?).
You might want to put the sources you cited at the bottom of your article, so as not to interrupt the flow. Also, I thought the sentence "Let's look together" was a bit off-putting, and you might consider omitting. Also, a few commas added where you don't need them! Best of luck to you in the contest, and best of luck to the USA for dealing with this illegal immigrant crisis. judi

Thank you so much for the excellent review and support. I feel like the media is demonizing anyone who does not want open borders. Many see what is truly going on in spite of the propaganda. Hopefully. we will hold our borders and sovereignty with or without a wall. I have already removed, ?Let?s look together.? I will go through and groom those commas, too. I appreciate those little critiques!
All my best,
Sally

You're welcome. I certainly appreciate reading your point of view, and I agree. Seems to me it should be obvious to all that we can't allow untold numbers to enter the country. It's like we're favoring the illegal immigrants over our own citizens. Any rational person should comprehend that we can't sustain all comers. Good for you to air your opinion. judi

I completely agree! Sal

Comment from KatyM
I concur! Amen sister preach it! Our ancestors came to this great country and had to go through several tests to become citizens of the US. They also learned the language. My great grandfather came from Germany by way of Prussia, Russia. He only spoke German. My great grandmother made him learn how to speak English. He wasn't allowed to speak German in the house.
There are people that have been in this country for over 20 years and don't speak English. It's sad that they are not willing to learn how to communicate with others from the US that speak English.
My husband was born in Germany. He was adopted to a military family. They moved back to the US when James was 2 1/2. When he was 13 he had to go through the process to become a naturalize citizen.
Ok, guess I am finished...lol This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. People need to come to this country legally or don't come here at all. How do we know that the ones that come across are good people?
Thank you for bringing this up!

Thank you so much, Katy dear! I am so honored you gave me a six! It will help me when someone gives me a low score for upholding truth and righteousness! So far, many are in agreement with me here on FanStory that the border should be secured and immigration limited to those who want to be here and bring good things with them. I appreciate all your support with this article. It was very outspoken, yet, needed to be said.
All my best to you and yours,
Sal
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You make a good point here Sally and the UK are experiencing the same thing, people have risked their lives and their babies lives to cross the chanel in small boats in an attempt to enter Britain before Brexit is finalised, this world is in chaos with so many refugees, but each country needs to protect their own and learn to look after their own too, an interesting write Sally, love Dolly x

Thank you for your excellent review and support, dear Dolly ! This is a touch subject, but something I just needed to say. I know the UK has had some of the same issues as you have described in recent days. Sovereign nations are always being attacked and have to fight back to maintain their sovereignty. World takeover is always the plan of the wicked. I pray you are well and safe!

You did a super job researching and writing this, Sal!!! I am a naturalized citizen so I know that I swore to protect my new country if ever we were under attack. It's not the same if people enter illegally. Well done!

Thank you so much for your comments and support dear Helen! I have workers at the company I own who I am helping get citizenship. They are all so excited to be here and to become citizens. Both are from Venezuela. It is possible, as you have stated.
All my best,
Sally
Comment from l.d.lauritzen
Point out a lot of issues that are tearing our country apart right now. It's scary when you listen to some of these people talk. How can they not see what's happening around them? We need an electorate that answers to the legal citizens of the U.S. We can still welcome those that come here legally with the intention of melding into citizens of this country and becoming citizens, not just looking to establish a foreign community among us. Okay, I've spouted long enough. good work. Keep writing.

Thank you for the excellent review and support. This is a much needed word and burning in my heart. Thank you for the encouraging words to keep at it. I am fanning you right now so we stay in touch. I would like to see your works, as well. I am mostly a prose writer of short works. I do a bit of poetry now and then.
All my best,
Sally
Comment from Sugarray77
Very good, Sally! Not enough has been said in support of closing the borders in my opinion. I can not believe we even have to deal with this subject being debated. Where has all of the common sense gone??? Good read. Thanks for putting this out there.

Comment from Kathleen Washnis
Exceptional point of view Sally, you've got my vote! I couldn't agree with you more and I think this would be a powerful letter to submit to the news media. You wrote the truth and this nation needs to unite together, hence "United States" not divided states! It's clear, to the point and anyone in objection can be exported to Iran! They don't deserve the freedom of what this country was founded on, God's word and liberty for all! Amen sister! ; ) p.s. nice picture as well

All my best,
