Images of the caravans coming out of Mexico today are looking like the pilgrimage to the Kumbha Mela with no end in sight. Dems can no longer say its a manufactured crisis with a straight face, and people are starting to see them for the lying stooges that they really are. Pretty sad when a large group of elected officials look stupider than Trump.

Yes, it is, and has been a humanitarian crisis for some time now and Trump has still done nothing about it. More camps, more officers, more judges. A wall in two years won't do a damn thing.

Pretty sure there would have been a lot done if not for stonewalling by the loony left majority in the House. I agree a wall is not the answer, but I also contend wide open boarders aren't either. When political posturing is more important than the nation's best interest, its a sure sign our government is totally FUBAR, with the emphasis on BAR.

Mexico and South America aren't sending doctors and engineers. They are sending unskilled/uneducated people. The United States isn't really manufacturing that many products these days. Farming and most other industries are in the process of automating as much as possible. Do you Democrats see the demand for these unskilled jobs in the United States going up or down in the future? It would appear that Democrats have absolutely zero foresight. Either that or Republicans can be for air and water and you will be against it.

zoos all in for his phony news sites. The "crisis" at the border has only been exacerbated by the madman at the helm. "Hey everyone we better get there now before he closes it"
Plus there is true suffering happening down there. The tough guy attitude of "making" Mexico do things or pulling money from these poor countries ain't helping. $hit zoos the GOP had control of everything there for a while and nothing happened. You still think the rich care? They don't. |

Refugees are not illegal aliens. The difference is lost on zooz and most trumpists. It's a distinction they don't care to make; to them all brown people are "Mexicans".
But it's a legal difference, and refugees are entitled to humane treatment under international law. Anyone mistreating them or denying them their legal rights risks being held accountable when just government is restored in the US. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Folks, progs and dems said that there is no crisis on the border. As they lie about or are wrong about everything, that is all you needed to know that it is a crisis. In the future, if you want to know the truth about any topic, see what progs/dems are saying and the truth is the opposite. That's how I do it and I am almost always right, as you know.

Thanks RT. People need to quit watching faux propaganda, it's making them more stupid by the second.
These people are not illegals until they cross the border w/o the proper permission to do so. It is very well within US and Int'l law i.e. legal for anyone to come to a port of entry and seek asylum. With that said, we do need to shore up the border. For the 1000th time - we need more boots on the ground, eyes in the air (drones are cheap these days), and more people in the courts to help process these people - that's where I want my tax money spend, not on some boondoggle wall that I was told Mexico would pay for. ------------------------- QOP = Terrorists FK = Gay Edited: 04/04/2019 at 09:53 AM by wtf |

No approach to immigration will be successful if we don't look carefully at the underlying causes of mass migration.

If tspank's art of the deal hero was anywhere near the alpha male they need him to be there would be plenty of money for the crisis. He's a stooge. His insistence on a wall f-ed all the deals. And now he's cutting aid to the countries in crisis. Admit it GOP fan boys your posse is clueless on how to run anything but a hotel (with illegals doing the cleaning).

Admit it GOP fan boys your posse is clueless on how to run anything but a hotel (with illegals doing the cleaning). i see the point in cutting aid as it does not appear to be helping anything. the right call would be to redirect the funds to those at the border. get them shelter, food, expedite processing, etc we know trump wont do the right thing Usually, giving people what they want doesn't stop the situation from happening again. You guys think the solution is to let more of them in? lol Help me understand how rewarding their behavior helps the situation at all. It isn't like they are in prison. They can go home if they want to. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Who said that? There are laws on the books that provide for asylum. You don't like them? Get the party of the wall to change them. In the meantime the great alienator is completely out of his league and through his own arrogance and with no checks on his behavior from the cowardly and greedy GOP he actually sped up the exodus of people to this country. If y'all listened to anything but faux you would know that.
Do the math. Just part of the aid we give in defense to our a-hole friends Egypt Saudi Arabia and Israel would do a $hitload to either shore up the border in southern mexico or prop up security in the coutries south so people could live there. And how about this. The dirtbag in chief didn't want any feds and that includes ICE and border protection to have a raise. Yeah he has the dimwits who love him snowed and he does not deserve it. |

What are you freaking BF Skinner? If you don't want people coming here as refugees, help do something about the conditions in their country which WE HELPED CREATE.
Abusing helpless people isn't going to get any of you slobs into heaven either. I'd say the only "pearly gates" you'll see when the light fades will be a trump wall that you built for yourself with your cruelty. And you won't be on the good side of it. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

ref·u·gee
/?refyo?o?j?/ noun a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. These people are not fleeing for their lives. They are trying to come here to better their lives, which is pretty much why anyone tries to come here and is what our legal immigration process was designed to manage. Why do these people from Central and South America deserve preferential treatment over people from Asia or Europe? Achieving legal, permanent, status in the United States isn't easy and that is by design. If someone isn't willing to put in the effort to get here legally, then chances are they aren't going to make it anyway. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Easy to say when you're descendents of people who came when there were no immigration laws.
Most of these people are native Americans. They were in the Americas before Columbus. Now colonists want to put up a fence and tell them they don't belong here. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Now colonists want to put up a fence and tell them they don't belong here. I'm all for them coming here, LEGALLY. If they want to form caravans to intentionally overwhelm our facilities, and exploit our laws, so they can be released into the U.S. to await the asylum hearing that they have no intention of ever going to, then they need to be taught a lesson. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Yes asylum laws have thresholds for proof. Not everyone gets through that hurdle.
I do not agree that we can't reduce the flow of people with aid. This is real and worth trying. We are good at exploiting and it is coming back to f with us. Are we good at humanitarian assistance? The GOP sure as he$$ isn't they barely want to help people here. |

It is LEGAL to seek asylum. The rest of what you said is faux propaganda. It's not for you to decide if an asylum claim is legitimate. Send judges instead of a stupid wall.

Send judges instead of a stupid wall. yup legal at a port of entry to seek asylum. not legal to cross the border without permission. truth is most dont quality for asylum. these are the laws we have now, nothing more. to change that, the laws need to change first "most dont quality for asylum" When did you become an immigration judge? Truth is, your generalized opinion on the merits of refugee status is completely irrelevant. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

so are yours. what is your point? your opinion is no more and no less valid than mine. anyhow, i wasnt suggesting they not be given their day in accordance with the law. however they have to follow the law, which means going to a port of entry instead of crossing illegally. that part is clear and not a matter of opinion, can we agree on that?

I don't believe I've offered an opinion in this thread. You seem to be trying to argue against some position I haven't taken. Zoos is worried about "caravans". Those people are presenting themselves at points of entry and being mistreated. You're questioning the merits of asylum claims in general terms, and I'm reminding you that it's up to a judge to decide. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Fox sent a "reporter" down there to stand next some ICE agents in body armor, like a cosplay actor. The ICE agents interviewed didn't have body armor. Leave it to fox to pretend the border is war zone. Literally no one else thinks so. Governors have even refused to send their state's national guards.

The truth is this country feeds off of illegals whether they are Democrat or Republican. What jobs for unskilled workers are you saying are growing at the pace of illegals entering the country? That may be true. We need to stop the bleeding and figure out who is here. Without doing both of those, we are driving blind. We are writing checks like crazy but never balancing the checkbook. We are just hoping.
