Compassionate hypocrites?...........


Apr 13, 2019, 6:50 AM

To relieve the congestion at the southern border, President Trump has come up with a great idea. He wants to load all these illegals on buses and drop them off in sanctuary cities. Guess who is threatening to sue to stop him from doing this. You got it, the sanctuary cities. What a bunch of hypocrites. They really don't want them in their cities either.

It's called a 'border' for a reason...


Apr 13, 2019, 6:59 AM

It's not an entrance.

When we're more concerned about the entitlement of immigrants at the expense of our own citizens' welfare, we have the wrong leadership in power. If your representative has supported illegal immigration, vote him/her out. If your representative has remained mute on the topic...vote him/her out. Inaction IS action...silence IS a response. Ambivalence IS a position. Any representative guilty of any of the three isn't worthy of the office they hold. Use your vote...or lose your voice. It's not complicated.

even native Americans.

Immigration is one of the things that makes America great. Compassion for those in need has always been another quality of our Country. The vast majority of the immigrants who come to the United States are attempting to do so legally.

If we are not careful in how we handle these men, women and children, we will be looked upon as a nation without a conscious.

This is an invasion--Illegal immigration hurts a nation. A nation without borders ceases to be a nation-unless you are a democrat who sees votes.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with illegal aliens.

I don't often comment on these devisive-type threads , but today's a different day .
The way I see it is that both political parties in this country have worked very hard and very diligently to write the current laws that nobody seems to like , the laws that create this stuff in the first place . Blaming one side or the other on items like illegal immigration seems completely short sighted to me . They're both responsible for the mess and who else could we all blame but ourselves the voters , really ?
I am a firm proponent of legal immigration and fairness through lawful means toward all people who want to gain access to this great country .
I have had no problem with any " illegal " that I have ever met , or worked with , or employed . In my experience they are some of the hardest working , truthful and honest people I've ever been around . The fact that they're in a country illegally being their only black mark .
This current administration sometimes paints these folks in an unenviable light and while there are bad apples in every bunch I believe the rhetoric far exceeds the reality . This is not based on any study I have done or report I have read or on statistics handed down through congressional channels but through my own personal experience and observations of the matter . Illegal immigrants are not ruining America folks , and they're not taking jobs away from Americans en masse .
Hopefully both parties can come to some agreement and conclude these important issues in a timely manner , taking care to remember that the world and the American voters .... are watching .

Apr 13, 2019, 7:45 AM

Americans follow Democrat’s and Republicans like they are a football team. If it’s your team they can do no wrong and if they aren’t they can do no right. People turn off their brains anymore in the favor of following what their party leadership (who are hypocrites—as are you and I and everyone else—and corrupt) spews. It’s why we can’t have a conversation anymore it seems. You have the One side wearing gear from head to toe and a foam finger on one hand and a middle finger in the air on the other while the other side is dressed in their gear. Very unlikely to get a conversation out of this.

PS—I started to give the image of a coot fan vs Clemson fan but it fell apart when the Clemson fan had 3 replica Championship rings and the other guy didnt

Indeed, Tug! The lack of resolution on topics is invaluable for politicians...they are talking points for re-election.

With respect to illegals here...let's not be blind. They're here on a 'wink and a nod'...going back to the 80's...if not further. They aren't the problem as, for sure, illegal 'bad apples' are no more than the domestic 'bad apples' we're harvesting here. Further, to Tug's point...they are generally very hard workers.

My post, for clarification, wasn't to foment hate...unless you're mad at your representative for drawing a healthy salary and 'doing nothing' to earn it. That's my issue...who's doing real work that represents the better interests of this country? I don't see it.

### buy freaking ya.

Please stop the mindless "feeling" and start to think. You're country is dying right before your eyes...

Research history for the consequences of mass immigration on pay for the lower classes, the rapid depletion of the social infrastructure, and the conflict that is created from it. MS13 developed in Southern California as a survival structure for Salvadorans trying to compete to scratch out a living. ####... The Molly McGuires with the Irish were the same way. The NY draft riots with freed ex-slaves...same thing.

You don't have to live with the consequences of your feelings...I do. I live in South Texas and have to put up with it. ####!

Look...These people are being recruited and payed to come here (financially supported anyway) by people who want to break this country. It traces right back to a George Soros funded organization based in Chicago. Wake Up. You can learn all of this by just watching the News. And why would he do it, and why would the Democrats want it done? Are they stupid or evil? Check out the Naked Communist (45 goals of the communist party in America - circa 1962). This is not conspiracy theory, it is a strategy that has taken a generation to unfold...and it's getting near complete.

Sorry. This just fries my bacon, and I don't mean to sound like a jerk. But please please please think about why it is that a whole masses of people...who cannot afford to travel, just up and arrive at our border.

It's our fault Dug. The Dems could have fixed immigration in 2010 and didn't. The Reps could have fixed immigration in 2016-17 but didn't.

The immigration laws are aweful and both parties are to blame.

For the past 15 years Congress has had an approval rating of less than 20%. But in the last 15 years Americans'have re-elected incumbents at 96%.

Everybody tells themselves that THEIR congressman or senator isn't the problem but it's "Washington".

Re-electing incumbents is how we have such an immigration mess, healthcare too expensive to use and pharmaceuticals to expensive to buy.

Ask your representative why it's still illegal for Medicaid, the largest drug purchaser in the world, funded by your tax dollars, to negotiate drug prices with the pharmaceutical companies?

Here's a hint...campaign contributions to both parties.

I once had a man from Mexico work for me. He had been in the US for some time, and he was a legal entrant. We struck up a conversation and he told me about why he came to be in our country. All the things we can imagine, like the poverty, hunger, and poor medical conditions, but one thing I didn't realize. The drug wars going on down there. He told me of two small villages that incurred the ire of the cartels and how a message was sent to other people that might oppose them. In one village every man, woman and child, right down to the smallest infant was slaughtered, and the other, all the adults were murdered, and the children left as orphans. It was then, that he decided one way or the other, he had to get his family out, And I don't blame him. It's the same thing any one of us would do to save our families.

I'm all for thelegal process of immigration. Immigration is what this country is, you know, give me your tired huddled masses, etc. Heck, I'm told my ancestors weren't really a welcome lot, way back when, so I'm thankful to God for what this country is. I do however, dislike the hypocrisy and there's enough of it on both sides of the politics. I wonder if anyone in Washington cares about those people at the border, other than to use them as a club to beat their political opponent with.

To all of you that are offering weak reasons trying to justify the Illegal Alien being in our country why don't you open up your spare bedroom up ant take a few in and support them. Every one that crosses the border is robbing you and me blind. They are being coached on how to game the system. They receive free medical care, welfare, free schooling, and God knows what else.

Every one that crossed our border illegally is a law breaker, ask the wife, mother, father, sister or brother that has had one of their loved ones raped, assaulted, and murdered by one of these gifts of love what they think of Illegal Aliens. I can assure you it wont be compassion and understanding.

I met a man from Texas who was working in South Carolina as an insurance adjuster several years ago. I asked him why he was in our area. He said I used to have a very profitable cement business in Texas and lost everything by working people who I thought were legally in the country. They had all the paper work and it passed muster. He said they worked hard during the day but stole everything he had at night. After the first burglary he secretly installed a surveillance system. He was broken into again and the system caught them and they were arrested. They were his employees, it turns out that all of their documentation was phony, and at their hearing they were released on bail. They immediately fled across the border into Mexico, never stood trial and he was out of over a million dollars worth of equipment and dead broke.

If you want in, come in the right way, assimilate, become a citizen and a good American.
