Yes, I said “Fake” tears of Senator Chuck Schumer. Just in case you missed the Senior Senator from the Empire State of New York crying over President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Immigrants from seven countries, behold:
Well, I didn’t actually see any tears. And, he did sort of sniffle. It was a bad acting job. Just ask President Donald Trump.
Golly, President Donald Trump was very generous. President Trump thinks there is a five percent chance the tears were real. I would put the real tears percentage at about less than one tenth of one percent.
Does everyone have a “right” to come to the United States. According to my favorite Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, immigration is dangerous:
Hamilton, Alexander
Founding father
.. The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all-important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency.”
(“Examinations of Jefferson’s Message to Congress of December 7th, 1801,” Jan. 12, 1802)
In other words, people with ideas incompatible with American ideas will hurt society.
Senator Schumer said the Statue of Liberty was crying because of the Trump Executive Order:
“Tears are running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty tonight as a grand tradition of America, welcoming immigrants, that has existed since America was founded has been stomped upon,” Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said in a statement.
But, the Emma Lazarus poem engraved on a tablet on the pedestal agrees with Alexander Hamilton, not Senator Schumer:
“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
“Your storied pomp” is read “Your old ways”, in my opinion. “Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” reads to me “Those who believe in republicanism and liberty”.
We have not always welcomed immigrants. There was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The Immigration Act of 1924 imposed severe quotas on immigration.
Indeed, Senator Chuck Schumer didn’t even pretend to cry when former President Barack Obama ordered a six month stoppage of Iraqi immigration requests in 2011. Six months. Donald Trump’s Executive Order only lasts for three months.
Chuck Schumer is really upset because he is the Minority Leader. Schumer expected that in 2017 he would be Majority Leader.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser (American Patriot) of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy was on Fox News with a suggestion for a questionnaire for Muslims wishing to immigrate to the United States.

Dr. Jasser isn’t crying crocodile tears. Dr. Jasser is a man of action. No one has ever accused Chuck Schumer of being a man…of action. Sorry. Had to do that. If I were President Donald Trump, I would listen to Dr. Jasser. If I were President Trump, I would send Senator Chuck Schumer a coupon for acting lessons. Those fake tears were pitiful, bless his heart.
Dr Jasser nails it!
I have no problem allowing in muslims who renounce jihad and sharia, as they are both against a free republic and pluralism. If they go back on that renunciation, you revoke their status and send them home, and ban them from ever re-entering.
I have to also say that I’m disappointed you didn’t work this in somewhere….. 😉
