Gallup Poll: 42 Million More Latin Americans Want to Come to U.S.
 [Chairman's Blog via PJ] Gallup surveyed 33 nations in Latin America and the Caribbean and found that a whopping 27 percent of 450 million people wanted to leave home. Further, of those who wanted to leave their homes permanently, 35 percent, or 42 million people, wanted to emigrate to the U.S.Chairman’s Blog: Seekers of citizenship or asylum are watching to determine exactly when and how is the best time to make their move.This is an instance where our hearts are getting in the way of our heads. We like to think of America as a welcoming oasis for the poor and downtrodden of the world. Otherwise, what’s the Statue of Liberty for? But the reality is far less romantic. Billions of people around the world could be considered "poor and downtrodden" as well as oppressed, persecuted, and hunted. They live in hovels in some countries, corrugated tin houses in others. Many don’t even have homes. Or enough to eat. Or clean water to drink. Simply put, we can’t save them all. These potential migrants don’t see the U.S. as a racist, oppressor state — an inconvenient fact that is never mentioned by BLM and the rainbow of racial rights groups that drone on and on about "white privilege," and "systemic racism." Why do they want to come? Perhaps it’s for clean water. Maybe it’s because a generous government will feed them and clothe them and house them. More likely, they want to wake up in the morning and not feel like they’re taking their lives in their hands just by walking out the door. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-03-26 |
