Refugees
Around the world, citizens of war torn countries in the Middle East (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan), Africa (Libya, Sudan), Central & South America and others are fleeing oppression and death to reach freedom and safety. Europe is being overrun with these refugees. This experience is adding greater fuel to the already passionate immigration debate in the US by the needs of these refugees. We must remember that refugees are a portion of the immigration issue. Compassionately, the plight of refugees needs to be prioritized over all other types of immigration. Realistically, the vetting of legitimate refugees is still required, given the violent turmoil in the world, the infiltration of the extremists into the refugee population and that threats directly at the United States.

Political Narratives Collide with Reality

from The Gray Area:
9/17/22:

This week Gov DeSantis of Florida ramped up the political rhetoric regarding border security and illegal immigrants when he sent a group of migrants to Martha's Vineyard, home of the elite liberal, far left, political class. All hell broke out. Political narratives must be served. Just before this hit the news, a question was asked of KJP, Biden's press secretary, to which she responded with ......

Ted Cruz tweets:

Apparently there is no prepared answer for a question based on reality. Then the Martha's Vineyard news hits. The net, net is, the people of the southern border states, Arizona, New Mexico, & Texas have been telling Washington for 2 years now we have a crisis at the border and the Biden Administration and the media ignore it. Why, they are red states and the leftist leaders don't care. If open borders cause problems in those states, fine. By placing the problem on the steps of non-border blue states and DC, they cannot ignore the problem anymore. Is this the same Democrat & media reaction to a crisis being fixed in 2017 by Donald Trump? No, that was a crisis narrative invented for political purposes. The Washington Post runs a headline, A migrant landed on Martha’s Vineyard. A resident jumped in to help. They show the picture of a little girl looking bewildered. The narrative pic designed to tug at the heartstrings and avoid the reality that she is in this position because Congress, largely Democrats will not pass legislation to fix the immigration issue and they will not enforce the current immigration system. The right wing then tweets showing a Martha's vineyard resident panicked because they cannot support these people. Welcome to the reality of border towns in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Sounds similar to Chicago's reaction to receiving migrants.

So which is it? Is it a political stunt by DeSantis? Yes, it is. Was Biden forgiving college debt a political stunt, yes! The reality is they are both political stunts. And finally, the anti-DeSantis political narrative gets a boost. Local Florida Democrats look to DOJ to start an investigation the Governor for his funding of these migrant flights.

It is all about the political stunts and narrative(s). Our news today has nothing to do with reality. This latest stunt, however, does shine a little light on the reality of the issue of border security. immigration, the open borders objective of the Biden administration that generated this crisis and the failed leadership to do something about it. They are hurting American and migrant families with this disastrous strategy and do nothing leadership.
