Ok, what do you think of our policy about Venezuelans? Do you think they are political refugees since they live in an authoritarian socialist country?
POLITICAL THREAD
- Thread starter kybobcat
- Start date
I mean yeah, it’d be better if they’d work for free but I’d definitely rather pay pennies on the dollar to illegal aliens who can’t report me to the government for abusing them than pay living wages to anyone.
One pretty easy piece of proof that should occur to you is that the people who came here 100 years ago weren’t getting handouts that taxpayers were paying for.
This Baris guy keeps getting referenced here as if he's some forecaster god. Why is that? thanks.
were “native americans” immigrants to this country or did they just magically materialize here?
Hoo boy. You may or may not know that the dictator of Venezuela is not far on the political spectrum from the “Democrat” party: command economies, rigged elections, destruction of gun rights and free speech.
Are we political refugees, Dore?
Now, back to practicality: on what planet, in what reality, is it sound policy to admit tens and tens of millions of people who cost us billions, are low skilled, who DO NOT SHARE OUR CULTURE, and broke our laws to get here? No matter what their government is like?
Have you not thought about all this before you post?
School mass killings seem to me to be lone wolves with grievances against the school or other kids.
Yes, but those with a functioning brain can understand how poor taste that is.
Well I reckon next week I will close the pool. Seems like this year has flown by. Anybody else closing or closed their pools yet?
They took it from each other, butchering each other for millennia.
What a silly, silly argument. There is not ONE group of humans on the planet who have not displaced another.
But only in America and Europe do we find people who want to criminalize and delegitimize their own civilization because of it.
What does this tell us about people who hold these beliefs?
Well you see they’re pure of heart, unblemished with sin since 20,000 years ago they stumbled upon an uninhabited wilderness. So you can’t be here and we have to allow 5 billion refugees from poverty because it’s ok if THEY’RE here. Just not you, whitey.
Got all that? Because that’s what they seem to think.
Again, you like everyone else here wants to throw all immigrants (except maybe H-1B's or those here on student visas) into the "other" bucket and claim they are all "illegals". Those who come here on TPS status from select countries are not illegals. Cubans are not illegals. Immigration policy is very complicated and for sure our system needs to be overhauled and illegal immigration needs to be halted. But that is not what the "Haitians are eating our pets" BS is about. For you and many others, it really comes down to what you bolded in your post - the part about "sharing our culture".
Even people who don’t like Trump can objectively see that the moderation was not fair. They corrected him and drilled down when they felt he did not answer. David Muir even told Trump that he did not think Trump’s previous comments were sarcastic. Dude, your opinion does not matter squat!
Kamala repeated some debunked stuff because she knows the media won’t correct, and she was right. She also did not answer the tough questions and seemed confident the moderators would not challenge her non-response. Of course, she was right.
No objective review would agree with the Hall Monitor. So, don’t let him shame you into conformity. It is his typical post and it is BS.
No offense, but he'd have learned English regardless. I prefer immigrants keep/teach their kids their former homeland's language. I think an extra language or two helps you in the long run. My German ancestors came here in the 1840's and many descendants kept using the language to WWI came along. Dang shame that heritage was lost imo.
I was thinking the same thing during the debate like when she threw out the border wall bill I said to tell her WHY it was a bad bill! He did not even tell everybody watching about that! Just starting rambling on other stuff. He needs numbers for everything he knows is going to be brought up. Like why did he not mention the inflation number compared to his! I was thinking the whole time that someone like Haley or Gabbard would have all that information and burn Harris alive with it. I could have done it with all the numbers and info. Plus, the way I am, I would be making plenty of faces at the B.
Totally disagree for Muslims. Sharia Law is where it remains at with them. I mean, name Muslim-majority countries where non-Muslims are treated equally.
I’m a sucker for a true, legal immigrant success story
Firstly it should be pointed out how dems weaponized all the immigration rules and procedure and the way law is applied to facts. There is nothing in haiti that warrants us importing basically the entire island. It sucks there? Sad but far from enough.
The legal and practical definition of an actual refugee should be so slim that barely anyone meets it. If things in these countries are truly that bad, its cheaper and more practical for us to overthrow that government rather than import an entire population. I advocate we do neither, but if we must do one - overthrowing their government is the best path.
Maybe so, but I have met Muslim people working professionally (lawyers, doctors) and they have assimilated. My dry cleaners are Muslim and they are nice people. There are exceptions to everything.
There are a significant number of Americans who believe that slavery started with the United States.
Yeah, I came here expecting the debate thread had been merged.
I’d be real pissed if I was the poster who posted like a ten page political thesis, therein, yesterday.
Strange editing/monitoring decision. It was hardly as bitter as this Political thread, and had some serious thought and humor going for it.
Yeah, moderate muslims, right?
Radical muslims want to kill you. Moderate muslims want radical muslims to kill you.
It's in rural Southern Indiana and rural Southern Illinois in places.
I talked to a man in Southern Illinois who said that he grew up speaking German only. He got drafted in 1944 and the military tried to get him to learn English and he refused. They put him on a boat and he landed in England. He said within a week he was walking around speaking perfect English.
It is at this point that we see that you either get it, or you don’t. Somebody, somewhere, created the concept of culture, Dore. They did it to distinguish the beliefs and values of groups of peoples.
If at this point you cannot comprehend that “culture” is a real thing, and that not all cultures are equal, you certainly have no wisdom. Flooding a country with disparate cultures is absolutely how a country gets destroyed.
As for illegal versus legal: you miss the point. We HAVE NO NEED of any further low skilled mass immigration. The facts are irrefutable. The number one fact should be the 36 trillion dollar debt.
That's cause most of them didn't know anything about her. Now they are just parroting what the news tells them about her.
You're trying to fix "stupid"... and it ain't gonna work.
Mussolini's granddaughter quits Meloni's party saying it's too right wing
ROME (Reuters) -The granddaughter of Italy's wartime dictator Benito Mussolini said on Thursday she was leaving Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party because it was too right wing, after recently taking issue with its stance on minority rights. Rachele Mussolini, a city...
My grandfather was about 12 when he arrived. His father was adamant that they were now Americans and would speak like Americans. I have not known a more patriot person than my grandfather.
Not sure what you mean by “no offense.” 🤷♂️

That is a gross generalization with regard to Muslims. I know Muslim prosecutors. They are not all beholden to Sharia.
Um, no. That Democrat is once again history.
