"As we know, America’s cities have been flooded by unvetted “illegal aliens,” (whoops! By undocumented wonderful people), primarily men, some of whom have proven to be criminals who beat up police, murder each other as well as strangers, steal, and who sexually assault children and women both in their lodgings and on the streets." . . .
"America is a country of immigrants. In 2021, I co-led a grassroots team that rescued almost 400 endangered women from Afghanistan; some went to Europe, some came here. Over the years, I have submitted affidavits for at least ten Muslim women in flight from being honor killed and in search of political asylum. Their legal team interviewed them. I also did and found their testimonies entirely credible.
"Call me a racist or an Islamophobe, (and many have), and you’d only be exposing your own considerable ignorance.
"The hot button issue of immigration is not about race or racism. The two issues are unfairly linked. Unproven allegations of “racism,” (when immigration is discussed), can wreck someone’s reputation and lead to their being defamed, ostracized, silenced, fired, and sued.
"For example, last month, in North Carolina, sixteen-year-old Christian McGhee was suspended from high school after he asked his English teacher to define whetherthe word “alien” referred to “space aliens or illegal aliens who need greencards [sic].” Another student joked that he was “going to kick Christian’s ass” for what he said. No action was taken against this student. The suspension forced Christian to miss an important track event.
"On May 5th, lawyers filed a suit against the Davidson County School District on Christian’s behalf.
"Immigration is about Islamism, about idiotically welcoming cultures that fiercely oppose human rights, women’s rights, democracy, fact-based truth, tolerance of difference, respect for intellectualdiversity; cultures that practice female genital mutilation (FGM), honor killing, Jew and infidel hatred, those who wish to live lives apart in accordance with their interpretation of Shari’a law, and who dream of aCaliphate replacing a Western way of life.
"Not all Muslims are Islamists. Many have come to the West to enjoy our freedoms. Those Muslims whom I know and with whom I work, are the bravest of dissidents and free-thinkers. Many support Israel. Some are ex-Muslims, others have converted to another religion or have become atheists. Some are religious Muslims who seek to reform Islam. They could not hold such views and safely remain in Muslim countries." . . .
