The Wild Overreaction to the Ending of a ‘Temporary’ Immigration Status

Se acabó el tiempo.

Seventeen years after granting “temporary protected status” to nearly 200,000 Salvadoran citizens who had fled earthquakes in 2001 or who were already here illegally and claimed they were unable to return to their homeland because of civil strife, America is setting a deadline: Get right with the law or go home.

As if we haven’t shown enough generosity to these provisional guests in our home, the Department of Homeland Security gave the Salvadorans until September 2019 to get their affairs in order. But the usual suspects in the permanent Gang of Amnesty—identity-politics Democrats, big business Republicans, anti-rule of law activists, and sovereignty-sabotaging pundits—condemned the Trump administration’s announcement this week with a heaping dose of hyperbole.

Maria Rodriguez, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, called the move a “racial cleansing.”

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin called the revocation “monstrous” and called on Democrats to hold government funding hostage until the nearly 2-decade-old “temporary” protections were restored indefinitely.

NBC analyst Anand Giridharadas likened the decision to “the German occupation of, and use of forced labor from, Belgium in World War I; and the Armenian genocide.”

That’s insanity. Here’s a proposal. How about I force my way into Mr. Giridharadas’ residence uninvited and demand to stay for at least 17 years under the guise of seeking “temporary” shelter. Would he consider a rational and responsible decision to evict me and reclaim his home for himself and his family tantamount to a war crime?

Enforcing a limit on humanitarian gestures is the responsible thing for any self-sustaining nation to do. Previous Democrat and Republican presidents, however, have shirked their duty—opting instead to renew illegal alien protections ad nauseam. So beneficiaries of our supposedly time-limited generosity established families and footholds here. They gained permanent residency, work permits, and other taxpayer-subsidized benefits, along with ever-expanding lobbying power as a political constituency.

The Temporary Protected Status program was supposed to provide short-term relief and shelter to people from foreign countries hit by natural disasters, environmental catastrophes, civil war, epidemic diseases, or other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.” But they were always expected to go back home when those conditions improved.

The federal statute that created TPS clearly mandates terminating the protections once the conditions that led to TPS designation no longer exist. The law “prohibits judicial review of any determination with respect to the designation, termination, or extension of TPS” and “prohibits the Senate from considering legislation that would adjust the status of TPS aliens to that of a lawful temporary or permanent resident” once the status is removed, according to former House Judiciary Committee immigration counsel Nolan Rappaport.

Back in 1999, however, the Federation for American Immigration Reform warned Congress:

Each special program that provides short-term relief has been followed by persistent demands for similar treatment by other groups and nationalities, not necessarily made up of persons in the same circumstances. It has now been politicized beyond recognition, and certainly no longer deserves the support of the general public.

Indeed, TPS turned into TINO: Temporary in Name Only. Illegal aliens from Honduras and Nicaragua were added to the list, followed by citizens of Haiti, Nepal, Syria, Angola, Sudan, Yemen, Montserrat, and more. To date, we’ve granted sacrosanct TPS status to more than 400,000 people from a total of 22 countries who have grown increasingly entitled to automatic renewal of their protections every 18 months over the past two decades.

There’s no polite way to tell houseguests who’ve overstayed their welcome that it’s time to go, but perpetual amnesty for illegal aliens—whether it’s called TPS, DACA, or DREAM—will only beget more illegal immigration.

Time’s up.

That is, not until The Messiah returns.

Racism in America today is mostly being generated by the Negro population.

Yes, white supremacists still promote segregation.

But when was the last time a KKK member murdered a negro ?

Now, how often do negroes murder other negroes ?

Answer : Every single day.

God created us different for a reason.

I personally believe He did so as a way to test our ability to coexist in respect to one another.

I also believe that those who are truly hateful of other races, will account for their hatred when they stand in judgement.

This is why I know in my heart that I am not a racist in the way of the white supremacist.

Specifically because I don't believe that Caucasians are superior beings.

I do however, believe that the Caucasian race is responsible for the prosperity we enjoy in America.

Now let me make it clear to any Negro who will listen.

Asians are twice as racist as the most racist peckerwood

Hispanics are equally racist.

I even know a Hindu man who tells me that in India, the American blacks are thought of as animals.

And this Hindu man is as dark skinned as the average negro.

I also know an African who lives in Houston and works for the dept of public safety, who says that American blacks are despised by Africans but when American blacks visit Africa they are treated with kindness and are welcomed as brothers.

So I asked him why he says they are despised.

His answer is because they do not appreciate the bountiful opportunities in America and they do not raise their children to the standards of morality.

He then said, just listen to the words of the rap music they worship.

I personally despise white supremacists for the way they raise their children and I am proud of my parents for raising us to see the abominable sins of racism.

The negro race perpetuates the hatred enacted upon them by other races simply by the way they treat each other.

Racism is alive and well and will thrive as long we allow our children to continue to succumb to immorality and hedonism.

What defines the greatness of Men? Is it just the results you get? Or the commitment to pursuit your dreams? Why some people are afraid of the ocean while others can't live without dropping 40 feet waves?

This short documentary follows the story of João de Macedo, an underdog big wave surfer who tries to run the world tour without a major sponsor. Filmed over the last 6 months in some of the most iconic big wave surf spots around the world.

It is obvious to thinking people that one cannot have true freedom without morality.

In America's case, the very fact of her freedoms, from the beginning, led to increases in wealth, and then increases in licentiousness. America now has a class of people who want to be taken care of, (in all their licentious ways) and then a class of people who cater to those desires, in order to stay in power.

And Christianity is in part to blame: people are told they can have salvation without responsibility. But God expects you to have some morals, and some responsibility.
