America Can't Solve Our Immigration Crisis with Emotional Stories, Tweets or Heart Wrenching Poems

Sigh. This is why Americans can't make progress when it comes to issues of immigration. In the wake of all the discussion about the Haitian immigrants assimilating in Springfield, Ohio, Franklin Leonard, Founder of 'The Blcklist' posted this tweet.

Obviously, Captain Idrache is a national hero and the very best of America. This is what makes America a place people dream about. In one generation, this man rose to the top of the military and graduated from a storied military academy. It's heartwarming. It's also the height of stupidity to think just because the man was successful, all other people from the same country will find the same success. 

Exactly. He isn't making the case he thinks he is making.

This is the part many on the Left are purposely overlooking. This town was already a town of poor and working class people. These families were barely getting by and some of them need government assistance. Now, 20,000 people with little to no education, who can't speak English and with no money were dropped on the doorstep of an already overwhelmed people. The economy is bad all around, but it's even worse if you have next to nothing. Now, imagine those people who aren't citizens and aren't paying income tax, receive the very limited resources in the societal safety net and all of a sudden, people get really upset. 

That's how it works, right?

Many people support controlled immigration where people are helped to assimilate and not dumped on a town already busting at the seams with the problems of society, including poverty and drug use.

It's not about any one specific racial or ethnic group. It's about having a country with laws and borders and ensuring American citizens have the right to feel safe and secure, as well.
