Wouldn't want a bunch of stinky old refugees, barefoot and reeking from the mud, carrying their children on their backs, to mess up the place.

You forgot to mention the cripples in wheelchairs and the blind people with canes, etc.

No, I guess the old people in wheelchairs and walking with canes probably had a hard time walking across the bridge. They got left behind. and as we all know, some of them died.

If memory serves me right that bridge is about a mile long, so it's not for the weak or the faint of heart.

It's just outrageous that the ones who had the courage and the strength to walk across that bridge were met with armed policemen shooting over their heads, turning them back, rather than letting them move on their own two feet to a safer haven.

I shed a bitter tear that nobody helped them along that route, but let that go.

They were doing the best they could, doing what we conservatives expect from our fellow men, that they do for themselves what they can do for themselves, not asking anybody for a helping hand, and to be thrown back into the cesspool like that is simply inhuman.
