I feel badly for the immigrants that come to the Free World.

Being an immigrant or refugee is not simple. There are cultural differences and language barriers to overcome. But, they do thrive within our democracies and contribute to the country’s stability as any other citizen. 

If the immigrants come from countries where there is communism they are experiencing true ownership for the first time. I wish, with especially those fleeing communism, dictatorships, autocrats, and oppression, they were safe from their former governments. 

What is true, especially of Russia, is it views these dual citizens as assets still of the motherland. These Russian immigrants are never really safe. Their lives are never truly their own. They can be harassed and threatened to the point where some are actually poisoned or murdered.

I believe the Free World needs to see this danger as a threat to its sovereignty and look to a special enforcement and intelligence unit at the local level to greet these new citizens with compassion and instructions on reporting any and all perceived threats or foreign disruption to their lives and the lives of their families. I believe when these wonderful people are able to communicate regularly with local intelligence they become our assets to their security and that of the country they have come to love.

Was the bombing in Boston not an example of that? Were the poisonings in Europe not an example of the danger that lies within the Free World for these people?

The Free World is so open to ideas and movements connected to political ideologies we are also blind to the dangers that lie within our own joy of living. I believe a bit of a renaissance needs to occur between all free nations to bring closer the security of freedom and with that understood the dangers that lie within the very nature of freedom and democracy.

As the immigrants that come to the Free World full of hope and longing to be whole as a citizen, the people need to welcome them with open arms and secure their safety as a means of protecting our sovereignty from within.
