Probably most of you have wandered over her for the Build the Wall hat. I have hesitated to put it up because it causes SO MANY EMOTIONS.
I want to be clear that I absolutely support immigration. I do not believe this phrase should be used to bully or harass people in any way. Our system is severely broken. The people from our southern borders should not be allowed to pour into our country unchecked, It is unsafe, and it is unfair to people in other parts of the world that do not live in close enough proximity to come into the US without following the laws. The same rules should apply to everyone. People have said, "How can you be a Christian and support Trump, or the Wall?" I believe that God puts people into power. I also believe that it is important to follow the law of the land. (Romans 13) For everyone that says a wall is immoral, there are a lot of people out there who use walls to protect themselves. Politicians, actors, singers, rich people, farmers, ranchers, and regular people. No one has ever walked up to me in my backyard and told me to take down my fence because they can't walk through my lawn. The borders of our country are no different. The system and the people that govern us certainly have flaws. The best we can do is speak the truth. It will not be well received. People may call names, bully and threaten. I have been called some things since I started speaking up that I can't repeat to my mother. But it's ok. I answer to a higher power. That's what matters.

Wonderfully expressed!! I just wonder what we did that is “deplorable” or “(politically) incorrect”. People who do not believe as I do - if I called them that... well...

I agree. I consider it honorable to protect our country for the people who came here legally. The ecosystems cannot support millions more people.
