The Bottom Line

What’s the Bottom Line

Right behind the unopened door is the question most of us are asking.

Few seem to have the will to turn the doorknob but skirt the question that could bring clarity.

It’s so easy for the basic question facing America right now to be clouded over with emotion, side issues, and blame.

ICE agents have now killed two protesters; details are still coming forward, and we all have questions, lots of questions.

You say you want the bloodshed to end, but refuse what’s behind the door.

It’s always someone else’s fault, or is it?

Like many of you, I didn’t sleep well this weekend.

Thinking about what happened makes me sick.

Emotions are high.

Lots of us, yes, us, jumped on our bandwagons when we probably should have waited for more facts to make comments.

But we’re human, and our responses are often more emotional than logical.

Did the latest victim have a gun or a phone in his hand?

What led to the shooting?

Why was he there?

Why did ICE react the way it did?

We could go on all day.

We can argue about these details and probably will for a long time.

But in the chaos, we lose touch with what, to me and others, is the bottom line.

The place where we divide is whether people from other countries should be allowed to come and live here without going through the legal process.

Other countries would never allow this, but under the Biden Administration, 10 to 20 million people walked into our country, and we have no idea who they are.

As it turns out, many, a lot, are criminals.

Why is the left avoiding the question? According to polls, most Americans are asking, Why?

It’s NOT a simple question for some.

For others, it is very simple.

But it’s also a question that gets clouded over with side issues, so we never address the elephant in the room.

I know some of you will climb all over me for asking “The Question.”

Some will take it as a challenge and gloss over it with the usual narrative.

We’re all tired of the game, tired of the riots, tired of people dying needlessly, so what if we just honestly answered the question?

Yes, or No.

You’re either okay with illegal immigration or you are not.

You can call it undocumented or dress it up with other “softer” sounding terms, but the bottom line, it’s legally living here or illegally living here.

Don’t give me the side issues.

Don’t blow smoke up my butt with virtue signaling.

If we start there, perhaps we can have a real conversation.

We’ve allowed powers to create a narrative designed to drive a wedge between us.

They don’t want us to talk about real solutions.

Should we change our laws to make the process easier?

What do we do with the criminals living here illegally? Just ignore them?

Historically, what happens to a country when borders become open doors?

When a nation is flooded with non-citizens, what happens to the culture?

Not what do you wish would happen or what you think will happen, but what does history reveal to us?

History has all the answers, but we don’t seem able to even ask the basic question.

Should we allow people from other countries to live in America without going through the citizenship process?

Yes, or No?
