IMMIGRATION

Professor Sabrin, Ph.D response

Regarding ”President’s immigration bill unveiled” (Page 1A, Feb. 19). 

I arrived in America with my older brother and parents, the only members of their respective families who survived the Holocaust, from war torn Germany in 1949, three years after they left their native Poland.  

As I recall my father told me he wrote his great aunt in New York City who responded quickly with the appropriate instructions to obtain sponsorship so we could immigrate to America.  My father was thoroughly vetted in West Germany inasmuch as he served as a partisan commander in his struggle against the Nazis.  We sailed for America in early August 1949 and settled in the lower East Side of Manhattan.

In America we did not receive any public assistance but the support of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a nonprofit organization founded in 1881 to assist Jewish refugees, and is now known only as HIAS as its mission is to help as many refugees as possible.  

The solution to our intractable immigration problem is quite simple: anyone who wants to come to America needs to obtain sponsors who would be responsible for their well being until they become financially independent.

As far as the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in America are concerned, they should become permanent residents with no path to citizenship since they did not follow the rules as tens of millions of immigrants did before them. After all we are a nation of laws, or are we? The so-called dreamers could have a path to citizenship, which should be open to negotiations

The Shocking Politicization of Everything

Suggested reading by Prof. Sabrin, Ph. D.

The head of a union representing flight attendants from 17 airlines said the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday should be banned from getting back on planes and flying home.

 “Some of the people who traveled in our planes yesterday participated in the insurrection at the Capitol today,”  Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA said in a statement. “Their violent and seditious actions at the Capitol today create further concern about their departure from the DC area.”

“Acts against our democracy, our government, and the freedom we claim as Americans must disqualify these individuals from the freedom of flight."

Now, the House Homeland Security Committee is asking the FBI and TSA to add alleged perpetrators to the no-fly list.

But note well, no one has been convicted of anything. And if there are convictions, it is the job of a judge to determine punishment not the head of a flight attendants union or anti-Trump Democrats in the House.

Protest with BLM that includes rioting, looting and burning, and you get to walk (or fly) without any repercussions from the judicial system, try that in favor of Trump and the Left throws out the rule of law in favor of its own immediate punishment.

The country is going down a very bad road where the rule of law is trashed in favor of arbitrary determination of the guilty and bizarre selective arbitrary determination of punishment.

It is here, the politicization of everything. We have reached the next phase in a Mao-style cultural revolution in the United States.

Can Chinese-style social credit scores, which limit activities for those with low scores, be far behind?
