We should regulate who's coming in if they're not fleeing from some life threatening situation. That's already being done, it just flies under the radar of the recipients of the fear mongering messages. It also flies under their radar that illegals are deported on a daily basis. Business as usual doesn't strengthen the agenda after all. Refugees are deported too because the commissions didn't find sufficient reasons for granting them the status according to international standards.
What we certainly shouldn't do is succumbing to irrational fears and prejudices. We shouldn't spend tons of money on pure actionism, such as building walls or fences and we shouldn't fret over what illegals or refugees are taking from us. It's virtually nothing.
My bold. Yes.
And yes to the rest.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
