The horror! I was once delayed at an airport overnight because they had overbooked - I know exactly how they feel....I got over it before my second drink in the hotel lounge.

#15, I read where these Churches are given 2k for each Refugee they take. Is this true and does the church also help the refugees process paperwork for Welfare, subsidized housing etc?

Why are they discriminating for Yemeni’s against Hispanics?
They can enter here easily, but Hispanics have to wait years to get legal citizenship approved?

If we have to accept refugees, we need to deport more illegal aliens.

Work it like Trumps view of new bills. For every one new invader, we deport two illegals.

Airbnb was one of the companies that sued Trump over the travel ban. They’re already on my ban list.

Awwwww, isn’t that nice they got a GoFundMe account. Wish I had the gall to set one up. I want, want, want. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Can you live in San Francisco on your income? I certainly can’t but invaders who don’t have plane fare can and will do it on my tax dollars. There’s something wrong with this picture.

Hey, Mexican illegals sue us all the time and win big bucks from the government and from the ranchers they assaulted and trespassed through. Invaders should have the same rights.

They’re in Richmond, Calif. It’s nearly as bad as Oakland and double the national violent and property crime rates.
Frying pan - Fire.
