if it’s ‘normal’ why don’t the Messicans think it’s normal?

But wait! Wasn’t it only yesterday that the democrat propaganda arm ( the state media) were telling us that Trump was destroying our “sacred institutions “? ?

But our immigration system isn’t a “sacred institution “ is it?

If UN Headquarters on the Upper East Side were to be converted to co-ops how much do you think each one would go for?

"Swing attempted to sell his interviewers on the idea that “Migrants are [the] ultimate agents of development,” claiming they should be pushed on prosperous South Korea as an alternative to increasing automation and productivity because “robots don’t pay taxes”."

well, that's what it's all about isn't it? governments want taxes to, among other things, pay exorbitant salaries to useless diplomats like Swing, who likely has only experienced the poor sections of town through a car window. But to employ people who pay taxes, businesses have to be able to afford expansion and they can't do that if their entire operation is dumbed down to unskilled manual labor.

Just took a quick peek at that pdf file.It would appear that the UN plans to end *all* poverty,*everywhere*,by 2030.

I've done a fair amount of traveling in my day and have seen a fairly big portion of the world.Along with the affluence I've seen in such places as North America,Western and Central Europe,Japan and Australia I've been breathtaking poverty in Africa,Asia and South America....the places where *true* poverty is seen.

IMO,an opinion based on,at least to a degree,up-close- and- personal experience,anyone who's delusional enough to believe that that can be fixed in a *hundred* years is in need of some serious couch time.
