OPINION:
The news media has been making much of the recent protests against President Trump’s refugee-entrance suspension and deportation of illegals. Yet refugees and illegals are costing American citizens billions of dollars a year in welfare, education and health benefits. Do citizens have a choice in contributing to these benefits? No, we are being forced to pay them via taxes and inflation of the dollar by the central bank, which causes prices to rise and is a form of tax.
Our leaders have the responsibility to protect us from being invaded. It is our moral responsibility to support their efforts.
