越过特朗普的边境墙

1. 谢谢你感人的背景故事。 不管你怎么理解我的话，我对你过去遭受的暴力感到抱歉，也很高兴你是一条梗狗。

   Border security is an issue that’s become FAR more political than necessary with the impotency of our past two presidents, a badly functioning congress and a fourth estate that’s essentially abdicated it’s role in favor of partisan bloviating … there’s LOTS of black/white/hard when it comes to the border and border security that’s illogically being seen as gray/soft.

   To be crystal clear, you ARE Mexican (based on the way your story reads) … Mexico seems to be your country of birth and (I presume) you hold Mexican citizenship. To date, you’ve enjoyed a reasonably open border between Mexico and the US and that’s allowed you to gain an education and lots of other experiences in the US … BUT, at day’s end, you’re still a citizen of Mexico. You may sit in your home EVERY evening, wondering about your citizenship, but until you hold the green card, or possess the ‘little blue book’, you’re a Mexican citizen – period.

   The same is true of many of your former classmates and friends – except in reverse. They’re US citizens and while they may have enjoyed a relatively open border to get hair, makeup or whatever done inexpensively in Mexico, they’re born in the US and are therefore US citizens until their passports/citizenship papers state otherwise – period.

   No amount of ‘dreaming’ changes the facts … it’s really very black and white – and always had been … there are rules, which if/when followed yield a logical, if albeit rather weak, litmus test sort of result … we’re a country of laws and this is what we currently have as law (the illegal acts of Obama’s administration notwithstanding as they weren’t actually passed as law).

   Also, to be clear, those who cross the border without proper paperwork, or who overstay a visa, ARE here illegally – it’s just a fact … dislike the president as much as you want; he’s NOT wrong … we ARE
   a country of laws, and unless followed, we’ll become the lawless place that is your little City of 马塔莫罗斯 – and THAT’S not what anyone wants.

   Further, not every person in the US who may be here without proper documentation, or who crosses the border illegally, has done so or is here with bad intentions … in fact, many ARE here escaping violence and tyranny and SHOULD be granted some rights to stay … but there’s a process, and it’s a process must be believed in and followed if there’s to be anything of value to gaining US citizenship.

   That said, there are also a LOT of illegals who’ve crossed the border and are living here who DO have bad intent … gangs, drugs, violence, etc, and we NEED them to be gone!

   Because immigration, borders and border security have been ignored for so long, the only certainty is that this is NOT going to be a smooth exercise being undertaken by the Trump administration … mistakes WILL be made along the way, we may/may not need a bigger or stronger border wall, and getting buy-in from the electorate will not happen fast and because of politics never be complete (cause remember, there was a pretty large percentage of people who didn’t see Obama’s actions as anything other than illegal – not all Americans supported his executive orders) .. but I’ll hold on to my basic faith and belief that if the intentions remain pure and the politics are held in check, we’ll get to a good result for the United States – which should preserve the integrity and value of US citizenship, meaning that it’ll be in the best interest of others too.

   再次强调，保持你的高度，不要在政治的所有深度中失去视野。

   最好的祝福。

   1. 说得很好。 虽然并非所有，甚至大多数穿越南部边境非法进入的人都是暴力帮派成员，但其中一些人确实是。 如果美国无法控制边境，就无法阻止这些人进入美国。 But, let’s be clear: non-citizens entering the country without permission is illegal. That’s why such people are, properly, called “illegal aliens”. I’m all for immigration and I’m very much in favor of dramatically expanded immigration from our southern neighbor. 但是，这必须做得正确。

      I found this particularly galling…

      “President Donald J. Trump 相信 that Mexicans who cross the border are illegal immigrants bringing with them a flood of drugs and corruption. 美国当局正在修建隔离墙，却不了解他们试图将哪些人拒之门外，也不了解是什么驱使他们越过边境。 特朗普总统计划再建一堵墙，由墨西哥出资，这只不过是一种策略，目的是分散公众对美国面临的真正问题的注意力，比如枪支暴力。”

      坦率地说，这在很多层面上都是非常不诚实的。 首先，总统从未说过所有非法越境的墨西哥人都要为进口毒品或腐败负责。 但是，有些是。 许多人是，即使他们不是多数。 There’s no way to get a handle on this without securing the border.

      Second, it’s totally irrelevant whether we have an “understanding of the people they are trying to keep out”. It’s enough to understand that laws need to be enforced. The proper resolution is to change the law if you don’t like it. The proper resolution is not to ignore it when you don’t like it. 那样会导致暴政和混乱。 It is tyrannical because it means that whoever possesses the political will and power simply does what they want–pretty much the formula for the “Phone and Pen” presidency of President Obama.

      Third, you claim all this is a smokescreen that it is “nothing more than a strategy for distracting the public from the real problems facing the United States, like gun violence”. This is so preposterous that I’m astonished that something like that could be written in any piece that purports to be serious. Of course, that’s not true. 美国面临许多问题。 It always has and always will and the reason for the President’s position is that illegal immigration is, by itself a serious problem, and many citizens want something to be done about it. As far as “gun violence” is concerned, overall gun violence has decreased dramatically in the last 20 years–as if it matters whether someone is killed with a knife, a gun, or fists, in any case. 这一切都是随着枪支数量的增加而发生的。 大多数枪支暴力发生在像芝加哥南部这样无法无天的热点地区。 Literally, in this calendar year they’ve had 572 shot and killed, 2706 shot and wounded, and 617 homicides. This has been true for quite a long time–before President Trump was elected. I also find it ironically amusing that you claim you want to flee Mexico because “the war against drug cartels claimed 16.4万名凶杀案受害者, many from my hometown.”, but yet, “与墨西哥相比，美国是安全的。 在大多数城市，你可以在午夜去药店或白天骑自行车而不用担心。”, then claim President Trump is, “…distracting the public from the real problems facing the United States, like gun violence”. When, in fact, there isn’t a big problem with gun violence in the U.S., except in pockets like Chicago, which itself is awash in gangs in a political environment of strong gun control under the “leadership” of President Trump’s political opponents.

3. 有趣的是，在一名美国边境巡逻官员被杀，另一名官员因伤势严重被送往医院后，才发表这篇文章。

   文章提到了支持建墙的共和党政客。 但没有提到支持建墙的民主党政客，比如奥巴马、克林顿、舒默。

   这篇文章把合法移民和非法移民混为一谈。 边境保护的支持者希望阻止其中一个，而不是另一个。

   我自己就是一名移民，我理解想要在一个保护基本人权的国家生活的冲动。 然而，违反一个国家的法律或在智力上不诚实并不是推进事业的方式。

4. 我也是这个国家的移民。 不是来自墨西哥，虽然我去过墨西哥几次。 对我来说，你澳门威尼斯人注册普遍存在的暴力的故事最好地说明了为什么我们的南部边境必须得到比今天更好的保护和守卫。

5. I do not understand why the Mexican people don’t unite and wipe out the cartels! When a cartel tried to take over a specific neighborhood in a very large American city, the neighborhood “bosses” sent a very clear (albeit violent) message to the outside “cartels”…this is our turf, don’t bother our people or you will pay the consequences. 卡特尔继续前进。

   1. 我希望有那么简单。 When you have violence and corruption engrained in a society for years, when you have politicians and leaders who engage in criminal organizations, when you have local police and local governments who would rather be “bought” for their own economic self-interest, when you have a society without trust because you simply don’t know who is involved in drug crime and who isn’t, it is hard to reconstruct a country from scratch. 墨西哥是当今世界上最主要的毒品组织的所在地。 边境以南发生的事情不仅影响墨西哥人，也影响整个世界。 谢谢你的阅读和花时间评论，这真的意味着很多！

6. 我是第一代合法移民的澳门威尼斯人注册网站。 我理解移民的经历。

   我去过卡利的边境。 亚利桑那州和德克萨斯州。 它相对容易穿越。 在亚利桑那州的皮马保留地，我看到了10个人非法越境，我用手机联系了一辆车去接他们。 皮马人。indians don’t like illegal aliens crossing to their land as they have witnessed violence and property damage.
   我们需要边境安全。 When I was in Guatamala I witnessed Mexican police beating guatamalians For illegally crossing into Mexico.
   我去过墨西哥的不同城市，惊讶地看到许多富人带着他们的贵驰包和保时捷。 Barbara,when you finish your studies why don’t you.work to make changes in the Mexican gov so we won’t have as many illegal aliens wanting to come to the US
