What do you think about these that seem to just keep coming?

Local Commentary The thing that I'm talking about is the people that come to our country and what we ask them to do. Do you think that it is wrong to ask them to assimilate and learn our language so that they can survive in our country with just the everyday things that they have to do in life itself?

I know that some of you right off will say we have always been a melting pot of different people from all over the world. That is true, but when all of these that came so many years ago by way of the Ellis island movement, they were more than happy to learn our language and become Americans, even though a lot of them stayed together in neighborhoods and had stores and built up communities where they were more comfortable, but the difference was they were willing to become Americans and proudly wave the American flag because of what she stood for, while still remembering where they came from. But that doesn't seem to be so today.

A lot of them come here today to get in on all of our freebies and that's not good. So should we make it known to them that they will have certain stipulations put on them ahead of time and if they are not willing to do certain things that will make them start the process of becoming Americans then stay away.

So is it time to put a time frame on the ones that want to come here but make them to not be able to get these freebies for awhile. If you don't believe we should then how many more hours of work should the ones working everyday put in to take on this new stress that these wonderful new arrivals will put on America.

But if you will take the time to check the biggest majority of them that came through Ellis Island years ago were willing to learn our English language so as to be able to survive in our culture. But what I see today is we don't have the desire to make these that are coming to do the same as the ones before them.

I hear everyday that the most of them that are here illegal are mostly the ones that overstayed their visas, so my answer to that is if they come here on a visa and you overstay it and not check in to the proper people when your time is up then when we do catch you then you will be put out of the country and back to the country that you came from and we do this on the first time but on the second time you got to do some jail time and then you are put out of the country.

Now I know that some of you are saying that it so cruel to even think about doing that. What about the case of the hard worker. Now I can just hear some of you now saying how bad of a person I am but believe me that is not the case because I have a strong desire for all the people in the world to come to a knowledge of Jesus and be saved from that place that we call Hell and that is at the top of the list of great things.

Now the same ones that feel that I'm a cruel person don't have a problem with all these people that are coming into America and changing us to suit them and that includes changing our God or doing away with his teachings all together. I'm totally amazed at what a lot of people will let happen and that includes changing their own family to suit these that are coming simply because they feel sorry for them. If you read some of my writings then you know that I have written about how working with feelings alone can cause you more trouble than you ever thought possible.

One of the first things that I hear a lot of the time is these people are just looking for a better life. That is probably true but if you think that through then you have got to come to the conclusion that millions of Americans that were born and raised here are thinking that very way themselves and that is something that all Americans should take a look at and try to get all these people that is able to take care of themselves but are totally dependent on the Government for their lively hood when just a good job for them would give them a future to look to and be part of that promise that if you work hard and plan then you will have the same dream that all the rest has got.

Now that don't mean that everyone can have a mansion and a stable full of cars but it does mean that you can one day have a home and a family that they can be proud of. I guess the one biggest thing that I see that worries me the most is how our society today is so willing to take our God, the God of the universe and slowly destroy him and make sure that he is talked about less and less, but are so willing to bring all these other gods into this country that God himself has blessed so much and not have any problem replacing him. Now I know that some of you right now are saying here goes this guy with the real brain problem again.

With everything that I wrote here does not mean I don't care about people because I do even to point of wanting everyone to go to heaven when they leave this earth. So you see that is the most important thing to me because when we talk about God we are talking about an eternity and not just a few years here to see if we can build up a lot treasures here that for sure is not going to go with us when we leave. Everyday I see and hear where families split up over a few items that someone left here when they died and maybe you also know of cases where that has happened to someone you know.

But anyway, don't take what I wrote here as me being just a grouchy old man that just doesn't like people, because that could not be further from the truth. Well, may God bless all of you that read this and all those that don't and all your loved ones also.
