Ever been in the Minneapolis airport when a planeload of Somalis arrive? I happened to be on an arriving flight from Tokyo right next to such a gate.
While "our" customs people were enthusiastically confiscating unopened drink bottles from passengers who hadn't thought quickly enough to slip them into their checked through luggage; "their" custom agents were giving them the red carpet treatment: No opening of checked luggage, no demands of screening for carry on luggage, just welcome to Minneapolis for those who were staying and this way to your connecting flight for the others.
I doubt that most of them bought their own ticket in Mogadishu or wherever the flight originated. My guess is that you and I did with our tax dollars . . . and we are still shelling those dollars out to keep them here.
I'm tired of being a hard working faithful taxpayer with the idea that this country will remain peaceful, properous,with good roads and will take care of its seasoned citizens....
but no....they come in and instantly win the lotto....MY lotto.
NY Times is marched directly into the guns of glaring absurdity, to try to take the heat off the Democrats, who were caught in the open with their naked lies.
Let them sacrifice all credibility.
Keep the Government shut, and begin the RIF of permanent layoffs. Reorganize to eliminate their Leftist nests for good.
Crush your enemies, drive them before you, and hear the lamentations of their gender non-binaries.
First, let's address why there is poverty in the world. Is it because all the natural resources of the planet are being hoarded by ‘the few’? No. There's no objective data that even begins to document that. In fact, some nations, like Israel, have flourished economically despite much of their land being desert. Some nations have managed to ‘turn the desert green’. Venezuela, on the other hand, has been blessed with huge petroleum reserves - but is now a socialist hellhole where people are starving, eating their pets, and fleeing to surrounding countries. Mexico also had huge petroleum reserves, but squandered them.
One of the things all these nations with poverty have had in common is political corruption, and/or totalitarian governments (see Cuba).
The US doesn't have what it has because it was ‘the land of milk and honey’, and we just happened to beat everyone else to it. It is America because of the dreams, blood, sweat, toil, innovation, and risks of those preceding us - along with God's blessings of course, without which none of this would have been possible. Many people have died for this nation, and many Americans have died protecting the rights of other people in other nations to self determine and have the freedom to set their own course in life.
The solution is not open borders. The solution starts, in part, with people like you honestly pointing out the real problems in the world, and the real reasons why people are impoverished and suffering. But you won't, because it's much more socially acceptable and much less personally risky for you to criticize the US.
A brief bio of Forehead Manjob:
Farhad Manjoo (born August 19, 1978) is an American journalist and author. Manjoo was a staff writer for Slate magazine from 2008 to 2013 and left Slate in September 2013 to join The Wall Street Journal as a technology columnist. In January 2014, Manjoo became the “State of the Art” columnist for The New York Times, replacing David Pogue. He has been a contributor to National Public Radio since 2009
Look him up on the net. His official picture seems to be taken in San Francisco and he surely looks like a pansy queer to me.
At least he is finally honest about what the Left really wants.
Yep. You can kiss it all goodbye.
Anyone alive on the planet should be automatically registered to vote
in U.S. elections since our policies have such wide-reaching effects.

We’re pretty much headed that way now at a as opposed to when Columbus
landed on the continent in 1492. Had the Natives at that time sent him back
to sea things may be much different today. Times change for sure.
Why not let the entire world live here?
Globalists intrinsically know that a society can be demolished by removing all borders. It’s for the common good, doncha know.
