Letting anybody in our country seems like the noble thing to do. It makes veterans feel good to just welcome everybody in doesn’t it? Letting everybody in the country un-checked makes as much sense as leaving the front door at your home standing wide open. No doubt some very nice people will enter your home but you’ll also get some bad ones too. It’s the bad people we guard against who will change or end a veterans life.
Protecting the border is really no different than your own home. Lots of folks coming across the border illegally are very nice but the bad mix with them. We have enemies all around the world from places like Russia, China, North Korea, Afghanistan and more. Some of the bad people are just evil criminals who steal, rape and murder for no apparent reason. We already have more bad people born here than we need. Letting people in without checking them out sends an open invitation to more criminals. That’s not smart and it’s sure not safe.
