- It's time to affirm that character is greater than color. Agree but wasn't reverse discrimination already ruled illegal by the Supreme Court?
- Sponsoring an immigrant has financial repercussions. And the bills are coming due.
- Kevin Kelly: The Oil and Water Planet. Some may see this as an anti-oil post but I view it as a pro nuclear power argument. Water is for drinking.

Some quotes that I hope may resonate with you.
"When immigration is done by single individuals, it is immigration. When done by groups, it is invasion." - Nassim Taleb
"But test and prove all things until you can recognize what is good; to that hold fast." - 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer
"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said Let us pray. We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bible and they had the land." - Desmond Tutu
That same thing is happening at our southern border backed by other autocratic nations. The immigrants are mostly pawns but continued weakness at the borders just breeds more chaos. Both around the world and on our doorstep.
