It makes no sense. Military members will lose their jobs because they won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine, while those crossing the border have no such requirement. We spend money on social services to reduce gun violence and opioid addiction but let Mexican cartels bring guns and drugs into our country. The State Department said 90% of the heroin in this country comes from Mexico. And President Joe Biden said immigrants from there are welcome.
Smash-and-grab thefts occur, and store owners wonder why the criminals are not arrested, Minneapolis defunded police and acted surprised when the crime rate rose. In 2014 Baltimore, the mayor allowed rioters to trash the city street, calling it their right to free speech. She was “balancing” their rights with those of the victims. And authorities have been allowing illegal protesting at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house.
It seems many officials are more interested in the rights of criminals than the victims. Arrest the criminals and protect the victims. That makes sense.
