I just sat through a sermon at church this morning that enjoined us to be merciful and welcoming to all sinners — even politicians — and immigrants. I can’t buy it.

This nation has restricted immigration since Colonial days. Catholics, for instance, were not welcome in any Colony other than Maryland. Chinese were prohibited after the transcontinental RR was finished. My husband’s grandmother was prohibited from joining her husband here from Italy until she could prove her health — a 3-4 year process in 1914. Japanese residents and citizens were interned unless they volunteered for the military during WWII. Iranians were prohibited by Jimmy Carter during the hostage crisis. As late as the 1970s and ‘80s Australians had a strict quota placed upon them in retaliation for Aussie quotas against Americans. Indian friends, who belong to my church, were prevented from getting visas for their young adult children for 10 years. The daughter (who just got in) went to college in Australia, and the son is not here yet. BTW, the family is not complaining. They are grateful to be reunited with the daughter, finally.

But, suddenly we are supposed to give carte blanche to the Muslims.

What is wrong with enforcing our borders? That is what borders are for.

By way of contrast to such a sermon, and in case you haven't watched this, powerful words from the belly of the beast.

Thanks very much for posting this column and for writing about the sermon at your Church today.

Political correctness and demands for tolerance have overtaken common sense in our political discourse, which have resulted in the banning of honest free speech, and is likely the primary reason Donald Trump tops the polls.

Donald Trump is NOT afraid to speak boldly without mincing words. Trump's words are refreshing to hear, whether you like him or not.

Most people who are not brainwashed, far lefties, instinctively know that Trump is speaking what they're thinking and what they've longed to hear.

Then when MSM and its punditry predictably go off against Trump, it only solidifies and gains support for Trump.

I'd have stood up, expressed my disagreement and walked the family out.
