Everywhere around the world
They’re coming to America
Every time that flag’s unfurled
They’re coming to America

“Dream a Little Dream of Me,” the Mamas and the Papas sang back in the 60s. There are many DREAMers coming to America these days. Some are coming from Mexico. Some from China. And some from sunny old Afghanistan.

SEN. JOHN CORNYN: I just want to tell Senator Schumer, he might be interested in this. I was in, as I said, at the border on Sunday and Monday, and I know Senator Feinstein will probably find this interesting, too. We’re not just seeing the border being penetrated by people from Mexico or Central America. Some of the rescue beacons — where people are actually rescued because one county had 129 people die last year just trying to come across. That’s just bodies that they found.
But the rescue beacons are in English, Spanish and Chinese. And I said, ‘why Chinese?’ They said, ‘Well, for $30,000, you can get one of the smugglers to get you up through Central America, into Mexico and the United States.’
Another deputy sheriff in Brooks County showed me a picture of three gentlemen that they detained all wearing, happened to be wearing some form of turban. And I said, ‘where are these folks from?’ And they said, ‘Afghanistan.’
And as we all know, the border patrol documented that people from countries of special interest, including state sponsors of terrorism, have been detained coming across the Southern border. So as everybody knows — and I know everybody knows this — this is a national security issue as well. It’s a credibility issue, it’s a national security issue. So we’ve got to get this right and I hope that we can work together to get it right. Right now is not sufficient.

The media, and by that I mean the lefty think tanks they get all their news from, responded to the subject with all the serious scrutiny they usually do. And by that I mean they took the time to type out, “Ha Ha Crazy Racist Republicans are Afraid of Being Invaded by Turbaned People.”
Some experts suggest that this fine commitment to national security led us to the Al Qaeda attacks of the Clinton Administration leading up to September 11 and the second wave of September 11 attacks under Obama. But those people are probably racist for suspecting more of those fine DREAMers from Afghanistan.
We should probably just legalize them right now.
