It's certainly language I would have used when discussing our currant immigration policy in a private conversation to describe many nations that are corrupted to such a degree that it forces good and bad citizen alike of those country to flee.
And coming to the United States for the criminal element that comes here, it is like shooting fish in a barrel with so many potential victims of their criminal back ground. And worse of course, they don't have to worry about being arrested and then forced out of the country, all they have to do is go to a sanctuary city where criminals are welcomed with open arms.
As this author describes, immigration is nothing like it was 100 years ago. People came here to build a new life, a new life in freedom and liberty. A new life as an American citizen. It was the ultimate destination for millions.
But now, the illegal immigration is organized and controlled by forces in American and outside to bring as many people as possible to flood cities and states with people looking to find a new life where they are told everything is free and someone else will pay for everything. All the new immigrant has to do is show up. Oh, and of course, vote democrat.
The results are shown to work perfectly - What about the great state of California? Anyone with a drives license can vote. More the 40% of the population of California are legal and illegal immigrants!

And now the Trump administration is proposing the Immigration, Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents find the criminals, forcing them out, deporting them back into the corruption where they came from.
Little wonder they are marching and demanding the be allowed to stay. Hell, all the progressive democrats want them to say as well. What's not to like, right? democrats love criminals! Hillary is a criminal and they ran her for president.
How to Decide Which Immigrants to Allow In
Walter E. Williams
/
President Donald Trump reportedly asked why the U.S. is “having all these people from s—hole countries come here.” I think he could have used better language, but it’s a question that should be asked and answered.
I have a few questions for my fellow Americans to consider.
How many Norwegians have illegally entered our nation, committed crimes, and burdened our prison and welfare systems? I might ask the same question about Finnish, Swedish, Welsh, Icelanders, Greenlanders, and New Zealanders.
The bulk of our immigration problem is with people who enter our country criminally from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East. It’s illegal immigrants from those countries who have committed crimes and burdened our criminal justice and welfare systems.
A large number of immigrants who are here illegally—perhaps the majority are law-abiding in other respects—have fled oppressive, brutal, and corrupt regimes to seek a better life in America.
In the debate about illegal immigration, there are questions that are not explicitly asked but can be answered with a straight “yes” or “no”: Does everyone in the world have a right to live in the U.S.? Do Americans have a right to decide who and under what conditions a person may enter our country? Should we permit foreigners landing at our airports to ignore U.S. border control laws just as some ignore our laws at our southern border?
The reason those questions are not asked is that one would be deemed an idiot for saying that everyone in the world has a right to live in our country, that Americans don’t have a right to decide who lives in our country, and that foreigners landing at our airports have a right to just ignore U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.
Immigration today, even when legal, is different from the immigration of yesteryear. People who came here in the 19th century and most of the 20th century came here to learn our language, learn our customs, and become Americans.
Years ago, there was a guarantee that immigrants came here to work, because there was no welfare system. They worked, begged, or starved. Today, there is no such assurance. Because of our welfare state, immigrants can come here and live off taxpaying Americans.
There is another difference between today and yesteryear.
Today, Americans are taught multiculturalism throughout their primary, secondary, and college education. They are taught that one culture is no better or worse than another. To believe otherwise is criticized at best as Eurocentrism and at worst as racism.
As a result, some immigrant groups seek to bring to our country the cultural values whose failures have led to the poverty, corruption, and human rights violations in their home countries that caused them to flee.
As the fallout from Trump’s indelicate remarks demonstrates, too many Americans are afraid and unwilling to ask which immigrant groups have become a burden to our nation and which have made a contribution to the greatness of America.
Very unfortunate for our nation is that we have political groups that seek to use illegal immigration for their own benefit. They’ve created sanctuary cities and states that openly harbor criminals—people who have broken our laws.
The whole concept of sanctuary cities is to give aid, comfort, and sympathy to people who have broken our laws. Supporters want to prevent them from having to hide and live in fear of discovery.
I’d ask whether, for the sake of equality before the law, we should apply the sanctuary concept to Americans who have broken other laws, such as robbers and tax evaders.
We should not fall prey to people who criticize our efforts to combat illegal immigration and who pompously say, “We’re a nation of immigrants!” The debate is not over immigration. The debate is over illegal immigration.
My sentiments on immigrants who are here legally and who want to become Americans are expressed by the sentiments in Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus,” which is on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty and in part says, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
