Kipling Knew

The third stanza of Rudyard Kipling's poem The Stranger, written in 1908, says wise things about today's refugee/terrorist issues. Hat tip to David Solway at PJ Media for the link.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control—
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
There is no way to screen for benevolence, against malevolence.
Trump speaks for me on this issue.
