... the United States at this time should ... "Not" allow immigrants from "Any" other countries into the United States! It is "Not" a racist decision, it "Is" a matter of National security! My neighbor is Hispanic and has family that live in Mexico and her and I were talking about the President and the subject came up about the President wanting to build a wall at the U.S. and Mexico border! She said she didn't like that so many people wanted the Wall to be built and that it was racist to have the Wall built! I replied..
" It's not about race, it's about National Security... mainly to help fight terrorism! " ... she looked as if she was really giving it a second thought... and a few moments later said "Yeah, you know I didn't think of it that way but now that you said that ... I understand now!" I pray and hope that more people of other races that are American citizens... will agree that the wall and this decision by President Trump "is" a matter of National Security and not to be taken as a racist decision!
