Commonality

The Bondi Beach and Brown University shootings have something in common.

Both took place where the victims were banned from having a firearm.

Both sets of, alleged, shooters were Moslem.

Neither nation is predominantly Islamic. 

One was definitely, "let's murder the Jews!"  The Brown shooting might have been trying to shoot a specific Jew.

The Bondi Beach shooting was slowed down by the intervention of a Moslem!

This will be touted as justification for not stemming the flow of immigration.

The thing is, you cannot tell whom in the crowd of immigrants are waiting for their moment to enact the intifada and who wants to live a quiet live in a mostly secular manner.

If you cannot tell, then you kind of need to accept zero immigrants from places that have any people who're waiting for their moment to murder our citizens.

If the people you do accept refuse to assimilate, they should be deported.  They clearly wish to remain citizens of their homeland, so they should live there.

If the children of the people we accept turn out to have a trend of being criminals and non-productive citizens, we should definitely stop accepting immigrants from those nations too.

The poem in the Statue of Liberty has no legal power.  The New Colossus was written by Emma Lazarus and she was of a political bent that eventually coalesces into Socialism.

Don't be fooled by her pretty words!

I find, as a student of history, that I have to keep pointing out that the prior mass-immigrations to the US are an anomaly.  The Swedish, German, Italian and Irish waves came from a people very much like the Americans they joined and they assimilated readily...  Though it took years of prejudice and change for the mistrust of Catholicism in the Irish and Italians to fade.

Yet, despite language and religious differences, these peoples became Americans.

I repeat myself again...

I want every single immigrant to this nation to either already be an American with the misfortune of being born a foreigner; or to become an American as quickly as they can.

That means abandoning their, former, national identity.

It means learning to speak English.

It means respecting our laws, and forsaking the laws of their homeland.

It means abiding by our culture and ways of doing things.  This includes dropping things from their culture or religion in conflict with our culture and laws.

If they cannot, then they don't get to stay here!

Americans strive to be the good guys.  We want to help people in need.  We want to save people.

But there are times when you have to realize that you cannot save everyone and you most especially cannot save anyone if you won't save yourself.  Saving yourself sometimes means letting others die.

We still have time to avoid our generosity from becoming a suicide pact.
