By Tommy Acosta —
Sedona, AZ — Consider for a moment the kind of faith one needs to uproot themselves and their families from the world they knew and understood, to walk thousands of miles through hostile deserts, chance being impaled on razor wire or drowned in rushing waters, all to get to where they believe their salvation lies.
These migrants are drawn to America by an almost supernatural force, believing in the American dream so profoundly that they abandon all, risking everything, even their lives and the lives of their children, to live in our country.
Their faith is so strong and profound that the faith of those of us who live here, who have become disillusioned with America, pales in comparison.
Migrants don’t realize they are coming to a country where children are murdered at their desks in school, where people are blown away in churches while praying, where people are murdered at concerts and celebrations by crazed mass killers; where people are killed by authorities because of their skin color; and where homeless people live in filth.
Our country is divided. Patriotism is on life support. Hatred spews from one end of the nation to the other.
But these migrants don’t care. They cling to the dream of our forefathers who long ago migrated to America, who sailed across a perilous ocean, brought to our shores by the power of faith.
Of course, there are bad actors immigrating here to sow division, crime, and mayhem.
But the majority of these migrants seek a new future, acceptance, and are willing to work hard to manifest their faith in our country.
If we as Americans could have this same level of faith, we could turn the ship around and elevate our country to where it once was before; a symbol of hope and freedom for the world.
You can see the hope in the eyes of those coming here with good intentions and acknowledge the faith and courage these people exhibit. Into the unknown they plunge into a society they hope to become a part of.
We can view them as an invading army coming to destroy America, or as fellow humans, souls, children of God, people just like us seeking to improve their lives and the lives of their families.
Once the wheat is separated from the chaff, once the bad guys are weeded out, those who come with hope and goodness in their hearts, will one day become proud and grateful citizens.
God bless America.

Majority of people with brains want our country too be the greatest country. The politians are the ones who divide us. The elites of the world are turning America into a 3rd world country with crime amd lawlessness. It’s not the people its our pathetic leaders. Even the local leaders.
Politicians cannot divide unless elected so let’s not elect dividers like Trump and elect someone with a brain instead and make America as great as it was before his coup against our democracy which wasn’t “the greatest” but far better than he left it as he fled DC following his Insurrection.
Why does everything in America have to be about Christianity and Christianity alone? Why if America is the self proclaimed “home of the free and the brave” aren’t all people accepted who do not share Christianity as their faith or those who are agnostic or atheists? And NO it is NOT what our European ancestors came here for! On the contrary they came to flee religion and religious persecution. Perhaps some of the migrants who come here are doing the same?
MAGA killed true Patriotism! They made it shameful to have been an honorably serving military veteran or former law enforcement officer by praising and pardoning war criminals and corrupt Law Enforcement officials like criminal Joe Arapio and scumbag ex Navy SEAL war criminal Eddie Gallagher whose own extremely tight knit Team Members went on trial against!
MAGGOTS want Law and Order but condone criminality so long as it’s one of their own! I look at AZ daily and 90% of the faces I see in daily arrest reports for violent and drug crimes are NOT migrants, homeless or even minorities but rather they are white and not homeless! Yes minorities are still committing crimes here but not on the scale that white do here. Just look at all of the white teens being arrested for drug and migrant smuggling for $, murder, violent assault and drugs in Gilbert and elsewhere in AZ.
Are drugs flowing across the southern border? Yes and they are also streaming in through our northern border. Why? Because Americans to include whites buy them up as fast as they can get here.
Our Nation is sick. I attribute it primarily to social media and foreign entities praying upon our mentally feeble and brainwashing masses of our citizens into believing conspiracies and outright lies straight out of the National Enquirer rag that the Orange Idiot used to push his insanity prior to becoming Con Man And Thief Insurrectionist and it all plays into the hands of Putin, Un, Xi, Orban, Meloni and all of his “good” “believable” “FRIENDS”!
Is America perfect? NO and it never has been but for anyone to say our nation is better off under Dump’s Divisiveness than being a nation where all of our citizens are truly considered equals and have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else can only be from someone who does not truly believe in America.
MAGA!!!!! TRUMP 2024!!!! TRUMP is KING!!!!
Very well articulated…I don’t want to live in a world where people are divided, races are judged and racism evolves into hate!
To Tommy, JB and Debra, most citizens of this once great nation do not have a problem with legal immigration. Illegal immigration is what has everyone concerned. With legal immigration each individual is screened for possible diseases, a criminal background check, they must have some knowledge of our nation’s history, and they must have a skill so they will be self sufficient so as to not be a burden on society and they must have a sponsor and a place to live before they are welcomed into the country. Most other western countries have similar requirements.
We know nothing about any of the 8 million people who have come into our country illegally, many of whom are coming from enemy countries such as China, Russia, Sudan, to name just a few
Two days ago, a young female nursing student was killed while going for a morning run. The man who killed her is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He already has a criminal background in America but was not deported because of the Biden Administration. I would like you to tell this victim’s mother that illegal immigration is ok.
This is not an isolated case. Thousands of families have been decimated by people who are in the country illegally. Any one of our families could become a victim to one degree or another. Crime throughout the country has skyrocketed since our border has been wide open. More than 100,000 citizens, most of them young adults, have died from fentanyl poisoning since the border has been wide open.
If you feel that illegal immigration is ok, I suggest you invite some of them to live in your home.
Only reason M’erica isn’t great to you anymore is because it was on course to become what it claimed to be instead of what it has been and still is unfortunately because the Orange idiot has Democracy on the ropes right now.
Lastly, if you think migrants are more violent and criminal than Americans you haven’t been paying attention to the news! There are bad people in every society but America just happens to have the majority of them and a majority of are armed criminals thanks to MAGGOTS who refuse to have sensible background checks for gun ownership and then blame the problem on mental health problems after blocking red flag laws. But alas they are the party of alternative facts and self contradiction, just look at how they’re trying to have it both ways when it comes to abortion and IVF since they mindlessly rescinded Roe v Wade.
Must be incredibly difficult to keep a straight face when defending what MAGA wants to do when it comes to destroying our Democracy while claiming that isn’t their intentions as the continue to erode it on a daily basis in TX, FL, NC, ND and many other states who are not Blue led but have a Blue majority in their house or senate’s. Even the Orange idiot started laughing to himself as he pitifully likened himself to black Americans because he wants and needs their votes but despises each and every single one of them! Let’s see what happens to those black Americans should he steal the election for reals this time!
Take it easy Hillbilly!
Hillbilly? I’m from the MidWest you imp!
The Hillbillies are predominantly MAGGOTS out of sheer ignorance!
M’erica the isolatinist country will only become an isolated hated pariah surrounded by those who hate us just as Israel has become after BIGLY losing their values and way since the holocaust.
We’re going to have to change our anthem to something like: “M’erica oh Merica land of select the free and imaginary brave” since we are and will no longer be the shining beacon of Democracy for the oppressed in the world.
Special Forces will have to change their motto from “De Oppresso Liber – Free the Oppressed” to “Sorry we’re isolationist now-Good luck”.
Dump is correct, “We Are the Laughing Stock of the World” but solely because of him and his feeble minded minions who would rather support “Rusher” over NATO and Ukraine. Of course he being an 8 deferment draft dodging coward it’s the only thing he knows how to do with those stronger DICKtators-and that is to CAPITULATE fully especially if it lines his greezy Orange pockets!
Unlike Dumpy Maggots who fly the Stars n Bars proudly in all 50 states, I know where the Mason Dixie Line was from the last time you morons tried to destroy our country!
SADDDly because of the Orange idiot and his blinded by reality MAGGOTS this is what they plan to do to our democracy, government and country if he is successful in breaking every law on the books and still gets elected just as Hitler did after his failed Insurrectionist Coup against the German Government after which he was pardoned by sympathetic in pocket like mindlessness judges and well, the rest IS history.
That’s the MAGA plan! Fourth Reich all the way! But instead of an insane decorated combat veteran of WWI we have an insane 8 deferment privileged draft dodging commie loving america hating Orange A Hole leading the Reich!
Stephan Miller is his Jewish Jew and Inmigrant hating Goebels and Steve Bannon is his Himmler and is proud of it!
America is being torn asunder by these Democracy hating haters! Poland just reversed the anti Democracy laws put in place by its former DICKtator and Dump buddy and vow to counter Russian aggression at all costs. Problem is they cannot do that alone just as Ukraine cannot stop Dumps buddy Putin on their own which is why Dump is having his MAGGOTs block any Aid to Ukraine. I see Poland and numerous other Balkan states getting sucked into Putine’s madness and then Dump pulling out of NATO and either refusing American intervention or actually aiding Russia by attacking them with our military in alliance with Putin.
That ain’t going to bring the White Oligarch’s Only world fantasy that MAGGOTs envision because that my fellow Americans will be the end of civilization and likely life on earth spare Elon and Bezos flying around in their spaceships until they run out of oxygen food and water.
Sure thing pal-
This is the problem with anything you have to say in defense of MAGA!

It is hard to argue with the comments by dkc. My thoughts exactly.
The sentiment in the article by Tommy Acosta is well intentioned but misguided.
Faith alone will not protect you from the criminal element that comes to our shores, unvetted, with bad intent.
Never mind the unintended consequences of drug and human smuggling. Sexual assault and depravation.
I have a simple test for immigrants to this country – ‘ACA’: Abide / Contribute / Assimilate. In that order.
The first step to ‘Abide’ is come here legally, properly screened and tested. Then avoid murder, mayhem and other assorted felonies. The occasional misdemeanor notwithstanding. All should be welcome under ACA.
Yes, we are all immigrants to this land.
My ancestors came here almost 400 years ago and summoned roses from the rocks.
Native Americans have the best case for measured immigration. Just ask the Hopi and Dine.
The level of animus and derangement exhibited by JB is both startling and disturbing. I might suggest someone outfit him/her/them with a cowbell to warn away the public but the cloud of self-loathing and decay that no doubt follows JB around should be warning enough. My strong recommendation to JB is to wipe the venom off your chin and go for a hike. The Chapel Trail might be a good choice. Might want to wait for a day without storm clouds threatening lightning though. God has been known to smite those that harbor such hatred.
Steve,
I’m not try to destroy our democracy. If a combat veteran trying to prevent our country from becoming exactly like those we have invaded for becoming what MAGA wants America to be then yeah put a cow bell on me you dolt!
I agree with B.T. You always seem to be busting your two brain cells together JB. Must have been that great education you received from the Junior College you went to. Always with the generalizations, never deep logic or analytical thought, Hillbilly.
You are too funny to think that anyone gives two cents about your opinion you silly rube.
An idiot arises in every crowd,…
PS: Please save your two brain cells, you needn’t reply.
My deep thought analysis is you dumbasses are the worst thing to ever happen to this country since Native American genocide, Black, Asian and Hispanic genocide and Slavery, Vietnam, the Beirut bombing and 9/11 combined.
Being a NOTsee is not a good thing Vanessa just ask your furher’s boyfriend Putin about that. No wait he’s a NOTsee as well!
Your boy is a Criminal, Misogynist, Racist, Insurrectionist, Commie Loving Moron! Prove me wrong 😂
JB, the democrats made up Jan 6th. It was all planned. It was so scary. Not one gun or weapon. OMG!! A insurection! LMAO!!!!! You are a kook brother!!!!
Uh, M’erica saw January 6th being conducted by deranged Dump Q Anon supporters like this dumbass from COTTONWOOD AZ-https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-breaking/2021/07/21/cottonwood-man-suspected-raiding-u-s-capitol-released/8049574002/
You probably deny the Holocaust actually happened too huh you moron! Guess the Capitol and DC Police weren’t really assaulted and our troops really just went to summer camps during WWII? And Auschwitz and the other CONCENTRATION Camps were really just bread bakeries that employed healthy paid Jews to live in and run?
You are the brainwashed chump not me. When your furher ends up like every other DICKtator and you wake up from your NOTsee fervor but get shunned for your ignorance don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Go Draft Dodger, Go Insurrectionist, Go Racist, Go Misogynist, Go Criminal!
Go to prison that is! And hopefully he will be placed in solitary confinement for his entire sentence with NO visitors allowed just like the French did will Carlos Illich Rameriz! That’s Carlos the Jackel for history deniers like you Georgie Porgie Puddin and Lies!
I’m not your brother. My brothers and I fought for this country and support our Democracy over a Draft Dodging, Commie Loving, Treasonous Insurrectionist idiot! And they are not War Criminals unlike those Dump prefers and pardons over actual WARRIORS!
As for guns at the Capitol-
https://www.thetrace.org/2021/01/capitol-riot-firearms-arrests-proud-boys/
He was one of your MAGGOT hat wearing Home Depot buddies that drove the Bigly white pickup adorned with We the Morons decals all over it that you haven’t seen since his legal and just arrest which should have included charges of insanity for wearing such a fugly costume!
I know you deny facts but arrest reports are FACTs used in a Court of Law not just conspiracy and bullshit lies like you promote!
You morons want a new Hitler well at least choose one that actually put on a uniform and served his country and one with some brains like Hitler actually had going for him prior to destroying his country and their Democracy!
If Biden were in office during Vietnam and Treasonous Tricky DICK Nixon was never elected to desecrate the office as Dump has and we were at war with Vietnam you MAGGOT morons would side with GI hater Jane Fonda and claim our POWs weren’t being mistreated and tortured like John McCain because the Draft Dodging Insurrectionist told you McCain and our Killed in action are losers for being captured and killed (As if troops decide when to be captured or killed by enemies of the DisUnited Hates!
BIGLY words from a Privileged 8 Draft Deferment Draft Dodging Commie Lover whose only real life battle has been against those who rightfully sue his dumb ass! And even then he pays (doubtfully) people to do the fighting for him. And anyone who sees through his bullshit and calls him on it he sicks his sycophant brain dead minions like Tricky “DICK”loving Roger Stone, Steve the alcoholic America hating Bannon or Jew hating “kill them all” coward weasel bitch Stephane Miller who all lurk in the shadows of our Democracy promoting propaganda, conspiracy and lies while they all line their greedy pockets with M’erican $ from brain dead donors like yourself who buy shit like Donbo Cards with the Pumpkinhead superimposed upon his Draft Dodging Steroid Freak Midget friend Stallone on them or of him in a military uniform absolutely nobody in his entire family has ever worn because if he actually tried to sell cards with his actual likeness people would cornfuse the unsightly disgusting images as buckets full of greezy KFC which is probably part of his DNA sequence he inhales so much shit. Just ask any sports team he hosted at the Whites House during his un American occupancy.
Now I understand what your Dump Derangement Sydrome is all about-

He may not drink alcohol but he sure as heck loves snow!
Biden stutters while Dump Spurts and Sputters but only one of them has been charged with 91 felonies to include charges of Sedition, Insurrection and Conspiracy.
Steve,
if a combat veteran not wanting our nation to become what it has supposedly gone to war against numerous times to combat as it is becoming under MAGA then yeah put a cow bell on me so you don’t get run over by me due to you dead dumb and blindness.
And yeah I’m sure your fictional story characters God, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu etc. will smite me down for being humane and just while you hypocrite glutinous adulterous thieves hide in your mega churches and shit on everything and everyone around you unless they serve to profit you.
Enjoy your Nazification!
Your Jesus/God/Father/Son all in one combo would surely smite you for saying thinking that and for greatly distorting their/his faith!
I do not hate good people, I have volunteered myself to go to war on behalf of good people or was at least led to believe I was. I hate people with evil intentions and MAGGOTS have publicly proclaimed evil intentions:

I’m certain you will still be in denial and blindly support your Orange füh·rer at all cost’s because you fail to see your nose to spite your face! Even the Pope agrees with my POV! So burn and ban your books, slander science and scientists, attack reputable journalism, distort historical facts, hate your fellow man, take away civil and human rights and be proud of yourself for you are the New Nazi no different than the OG Nazi’s!
And BTW after you nut jobs do Putine’s (Who is a Communazi) bidding he will crush you too! HE HATES AMERICA not me and by doing his bidding on behalf of the Orange Idiot YOU HATE AMERICA TOO!
Just saw Franklin Graham is coming to grift flockee’s in Tucson. Perhaps you know a good young pool boy you could recommend to him like the one his daddy and mommy had and likely their grifting parents before them.
Onward Christian Soldiers! Except those with bone spurs they paid to have diagnosed to evade being soldiers!
I’m not and have never ever stated that I am for open borders. I worked the border as a member of JTF VI while in the military.
I am also not for selective immigration based on wealth and ethnicity as MAGA wants. And that’s how we get real crime! organized crime!
Personally I think the DNC should give the MAGGOTS every cent they want for Dumps border WALL so that when his “perfect” wall blows over in the wind as it has or when a coyote cuts a door sized hole in it with a saws all in 60 seconds and when we still see drugs and illegal migration coming through with ease (because Americans use both at their convenience and in abundance), the DNC can shove it right back down their throats on how they have wasted billions on a wall vs technology and personnel and want money for some other waste of taxpayer money!
If immigration was open to any one from anywhere that has no criminal history, have a skill that they can contribute and are willing to live under the rule of law and we had caps on how many immigrants we allow in per annum regardless of wealth or ethnicity then we’d have a fair system.
I don’t think Tommy was promulgating immigrant citizenship but rather lambasting the lack of faith in our country. We no longer have faith in government, authority, doctors, church, ourselves and even God. We all have become cynical doubting Thomas’s. Faith means believing in something you cannot see or prove real. Even though it’s not based on facts, it is the belief that powers us forward. Faith. As a nation we have no more faith. Nothing to believe in. These retched immigrants have no idea the chaos their faith has led them into. When the shit hits the fan and our institutions can no longer support them and they are left on the streets to care for themselves, a civil war begins, and they will be the first to go as the battle for crumbs begins.
Well said Mary Anne! Let’s hope that war for crumbs by crumbs never comes!
Just watching ill Douchebag in Eagle Pass TX ranting incoherently as he so often does. Reminds me of the voice of the teacher on the Peanuts, making noise but not actually saying anything.
I’m sure Biden will stutter and be dyslexic in his speech but he will manage to still construct coherent sentences.
Both are OLD idiots stuck in 1950’s M’erica! But one is guilty of 91 felony counts and Insurrection against These Ununited States and the other is just a political relic stuck in a time warp. I’ll take the latter any day!
American politicians need to stop clinging to their over paid grifting jobs and pass the torch to a younger more tech savvy generation of politician that cannot play the stocks while in office nor accept any dark money from any source whatsoever. Of course that would have 99% walking out the door in search of other ways to grift their constituents. But at least we’d know they true motivators behind their actions.
Unfortunately we have turd party candidates like COVID Denier Kennedy and Capitalist Elitist Mary Quite Contrarian who somehow feel that their moment is now and people should waste votes upon them instead of trying to save our Democracy by focusing our votes and voices upon the person the DNC decided to put up against MinisculeWeenie in an effort to save our democracy from a totalitarian disease.
Perhaps if we still have a country in 2028 we can think about younger/different blood in politics but we cannot afford it one bit at the present.
JB is sick. I have never heard such anger and hate coming from a person..
Really have you heard Donald J Draft Dodger Insurrectionist Trump speak?
What’s so hateful about not wanting our country to become a Dictatorship under an hateful, racist, misogynist moron. If that is the definition of hate then I guess I’m a hater.
How many people have you helped by fighting for Democracy in the world while serving in our Armed Forces or as an NGO worker? I’m going to bet the answer is ZERO!
Barbara there is a BiGLY difference between hate and anger! I’m angry you morons want an insurrectionist draft dodging PUTanna loving SOB to destroy our Democracy. I don’t hate anyone unlike he and his ilk!
No wars under orange man. There was peace thruout the world. Wars started when Mr Biden go into office. 49 years in politics and he has done zero for the American people. Orange man had tis country running on all cylinders. Blacks were better off, women were better off, all minorities were better off. Border was secure as it has even been. The globalist jihad had to break out a virus to stop him. When that did not work they cheated during a election. The only dictatorship in America is the current one. They are destroying America right in front of our eyes and brainwashed people like JB can’t see it. TRUMP 2024. MAGA BABY!!!! If you love America, vote TRUMPaaaaaa
You have zero proof of anything you state which is basically just childish rubber vs glue bullshit nonsense! January 6th never happened but wasn’t an insurrection where dumbassed Dumpy’s who “love the police”assaulted Federal and City Law Enforcement Officers with bear spray, brass knuckles, ASP batons, tasers, baseball bats, flag poles and more while having the Oaf Kreepers and In The Closet BOYS staged stockpiled weapons and ammo at a DC Hotel for their “QRF” to use in support of their forward positioned wannabe soldiers on the grounds of and inside of the Capitol Building who all somehow mysteriously got the idea to chant Hang Mike Pence and actually construct a working gallows to do so.
But it never happened and therefore treasonous insurrectionistAshley Babbit was never shot especially not at the Capitol on January 6th right?
Alternative Facts right?
You’re so far gone you’ll never make it back to the real world!
No wars huh?
Hey dipshit we were at war in Syria, Iraq (member the troops who suffered “headaches” as the draft dodger called them from Iranian armed drone and missile attacks?), Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen (member he sent SEAL Team VI in an ended up getting them ambushed after they blew up an elementary school?)and Sudan (Member the SF troops getting ambushed and killed there?)
He didn’t start any wars per sei other than the war in Ukraine by denying them the aid they needed and Israel by inflaming the shit out of the region by wasting billions to move the embassy and by backing illegal settlements on Palestinian land.
These are facts and I’d love to see you counter them with what you ASSuMe to be the facts because you don’t have any!
Almost forgot,
we were also at war in Libya (Too bad Qaddafi got kilt cause the Orange simpleton would’ve wanted him in his coalition of morons) and the GWOT which is the ongoing Global War on Terror for the MAGGOT “USA USA” cheerleaders who couldn’t point to any of the aforementioned countries on a map nor detail what troops (you know the ones the Orange Draft Dodging Douchebag calls suckers and losers)we have deployed there and for which reasons. But you luv you some M’erica huh? GO TEAM Moron cheerleader 📣!
MAGA 2024. MAGA baby@!!!
GO TRUMP!!!!!
MAGGOT Babies is far more appropriate Georgina.
