Horrifying Stories
The man and woman - the Durbins- from California who starved their 13 children might be the most devastating of all of this week’s stories.
And that’s saying a lot!
The porn star payment!
The government shut-down!
Possible money-laundering for the Russian Mob!
Tom Brady may have hurt his hand!!
I couldn’t even read the story about the horrible couple...
...they deserve to spend the rest of their days in a cell.
Hopefully all thirteen of their children get heavy therapy.
But sadly, the Durbins don’t win the worst story of the week!
For me, the father of two, who was deported was the most embarrassing, tragic and un-American story of the week.
Dad was ripped away from his family because when he was just 9 years old his parents illegally snuck him over the boarder.
For 30 years, the man built a life in America.
Never once arrested.
Worked every day.
Fell in love, got married, had two children.
The American Dream.
The authorities came for him...
...ripped him away...
...and deposited him back to a country that he never really knew.
What are we doing?
Do we stand for what we used to?
I get it. I really do. There are laws. We need to enforce those laws.
Yet there is so much misinformation out there regarding who is coming in and what they’re doing.
Certainly they should assimilate.
If this is to be their home they should make an effort to be American.
Our grandparents or great-grandparents did. And they built this country. America was built off the sweat of immigrants...
...from Ireland, Mexico, Italy, Africa, Germany, Asia...
From countries we’ve never heard of.
Yet, others, with bad intentions took advantage, and instead of bringing their work ethic, brought terror.
Many of the terrorists have assimilated in an effort to fit in just long enough to cause harm.
But care is required when making assessments.
Not every white American books a hotel room and shoots up a concert in Las Vegas.
Not every black man smokes crack and goes on welfare...
...and not every immigrant came across the border to cause trouble.
Argue it any which way you want, but when a man is ripped from his family and tossed out of the only country he’s ever known...
...well...it’s wrong.
It’s not the America that I’ve come to know.
Actually, it’s horrifying.
