Ann Coulter "There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding at the heart our current immigration debate. We keep hearing about needing an "orderly process" to get the migrants into our country, "building lawful pathways," and helping the migrants bypass coyotes.
"The two missing points are:
1) They have no right to come to our country; and
2) We don't want them here.
"Amid the hectoring from the mainstream media, it can be hard to remember, but we are a country, not a battered women's shelter. We have a right to decide who moves here, becomes our fellow citizen and shapes the kind of country we are.
"And we're getting a little sick of reading headlines like these:
What Americans' declining height has to say about the economy" -- PBS
"Why are Americans getting dumber?" -- UnHerd
"The U.S. economy is in its fourth decade of rising inequality" -- Equitable Growth
"Why are Americans' lives getting shorter?" -- The Economist
"Which is why most Americans think the ideal number of immigrants is about zero.
But the media act as if every desperate, poverty-stricken foreigner has a God-given right to come here. No, they don't. (Again, "country," not "battered women's shelter.")
"Liberals expect us to be moved by the horrible conditions they're fleeing. Thus, The New York Times tells us: "Many migrants are coming from places like Venezuela, which was suffering one of the worst economic crises in the world before the pandemic."
"The Times acts as if "the economy" is some sort of supernatural force raining down on hapless innocents, perhaps brought on by witchcraft -- or maybe Martian death rays! No, an economy is created by people. In dinosaur times, for example, there was no "economy" because there were no humans.
"Why is it a good idea to bring in people with a track record of creating economic catastrophes?" . . .
