I was watching the crisis at the border unfold on the news today, and my blood began to boil (not literally). Democrats are expecting us to be merciful and compassionate to those they are freely letting across our border with no intention of naturalizing them. That these people are fleeing hardship and violence.
How can I be merciful and compassionate to these people when the government that claims to protect me and my interests doesn't? When it seemingly shows more mercy and compassion to foreigners than to me or my fellow countrymen? I am expected to obey every letter of the law as a legitimate citizen of this country, but those illegal immigrants? Never. They'll get a privilege I never will: being immune to the consequences of my actions.
Mark my words: One day I will stop caring about the plights and hardships of others when they have no qualms about breaking our laws and showing no mercy or compassion to the people they impact by coming illegally.
I am a citizen, I have rights. I had to come into existence to be granted them. These people merely have to step one toe across the border and they are granted theirs. The policies I see being enacted are unfair and unconscionable. Drug cartels are using children as barter to manipulate our laws. Ripping them from the arms of their parents. Yes, the coyotes ripped these children from the arms of their parents long before they got here, yet you cared more about how "Trump did it".
I just can't anymore. Generosity and compassion are supposed to have limits, else it reaches the level of sheer blindness and others take advantage of it. Limits, so the one helping those in need does not come to want themself. And no, you don't care, either. You care about giving endless amounts of mercy and compassion while ignoring the impact such behavior costs the common man/woman.
There's a difference between mercy and compassion, and outright selfishness.
Remember, there will come a day when I stop caring; when I have no more mercy or compassion to give--because you had none for me--for us.
Brother, what's taking you so long? Most off us stopped caring 20-30 years ago.....It's no longer OUR country, or haven't you noticed?
You have to understand that I am only in my 30's, so I am just now reaching the point you passed 20-30 years ago.
I'm getting there, pops.
