Everyone talks about drugs and criminals illegally entering through Mexico, but I wonder about the disease coming in with these invaders. They probably have not been inoculated for many common diseases, and could be carrying other diseases common to their countries. Also, after their trek to an unwelcoming country, they are probably not in good health, which poses an immediate burden on the United States. They show their disrespect of our laws in trying to enter illegally.

Have any of you bleeding hearts ever heard that charity begins at home? Let’s first take care of our elderly, veterans and homeless before we take on a deluge of foreigners. I wonder how many who think it is our duty to admit these people also support abortion — so we kill our own, but help others?

We pay athletes obscene amounts of money, but we can’t afford to house the homeless, fund more programs for the elderly, provide decent educational funding for students or build a wall?

The world has become a scary place, and our country has declined morally so quickly that it just might be the scariest.
