Who is paying for these migrants trip? Are you dumb enough to believe they have been walking the entire way? Who is cleaning their shit iles from 7000-10000 people every day? Who is feeding and supplying water for them? Answer any of these questions and you will realize this is a BS operation from the left.
My friend… I understand. But the truth of the matter is this… The caravan could be organized by the devil himself… And it wouldn’t make any difference… These are real people… Most of whom simply want a better life. Have some compassion. Don’t forget your humanity.
You mentioned in another post you weren’t a bleeding heart, well hate to break it to you, you are a bleeding herart liberal. I think you’re on ther wrong site buddy. You can kumbaya with Glenn Beck giving out teddy bears at the border to the illegal invaders and swap spit with John Kasich and Jeb Bush as an “Act of Love”. I’m done trying to reason with a GOPe bleeding heart liberal RINo.
A key lesson of military history:
A highly organized, motivated minority can very easily dominate and subjugate a much larger, unorganized foe.
I see it as:
40 million people totally unorganized people with lots to lose and brought up with VERY legalistic views of society
VERSUS
40,000 highly motivated, organized, deserpate people with nothing at all to lose who have long been coddled with the view they Can Do No Wrong, paired with an upbringing that treats laws as “helpful guidelines”.
Oh!
And, “The honkies stole this land from us anyway...”
Now that you’ve made it clear there anybody to the left of you is a rhino… And I’ve had my time to smile… I’ll make a bet with you
I live in San Diego and every day there are people that try to come across the border illegally here…
Here’s my offer… Come to San Diego and when groups of this caravan show up… You and I will go across the border and you can meet with some of them… you’ll be able to speak to them one on one looking them in the eye… Mothers with babies… All types of people… Hopeful young people… And I bet you the following…
… Not once will you look them in the eye and tell them how unworthy they are… Not once will you tell them that they’re not good enough to come to America. .... not once will you look them in the eye and tell him to go back where they came from because there’s no place for them here.
No ....if there is any heart beating in the chest of yours… What you will tell them… And what you will help them to understand… Is that there is a process that they have to go through before they can come here… And maybe, just maybe you might want to help a couple of them go to the right place to get started doing so....
.... and I bet you anything… ....when it comes to handed out “teddy bears” to the children… The first one will come from your hand.
Have a wonderful day… Remember the earth is the small place in God loves us all in Jesus died for us all.
You write as though we have not been deluged by illegal aliens for decades, and as though this is not a critical “chicken” political challenge to Trump at a pivotal moment in American politics.
You are the naive one.
Where are the woman and children? Where are the homeless and downtrodden people? They look well dressed and well fed, hell their clothes looks newer than mine. Again, notice the Honduras flag? If they really hate Honduras enough to leave there for the US, then why proudly wave their homeland's flag? Answer me this. This is not an organic migration but an illegal INVASION!
Dear friend,
Since 1875 and the Page Act we have had what would now be known as “illegal immigration“… Millions upon millions upon millions have come to our country over the last 150 years “illegally“…
We have weathered this storm because we are a nation who cares and we are a nation of opportunity.
We will weather the current storm also. America has broad shoulders and has always and will always do the heavy lifting it needs to.
... The real question my friend is do we want to risk losing our humanity and become hard to the suffering of others. Staying sensitive to the needs of others does not mean you’re naïve… It’s simply means you still care about others and not just ourselves
Caring about others and being naïve or being a “liberal“ are not mutually exclusive… We can care about the plight of those far less fortunate than we are still be a nation of laws and require everyone to abide by those laws… Yes, even those less fortunate than we .
… But all of this can be done with a compassion for those who were not as lucky as you and I to have been born in this wonderful republic of ours
Best always to you.
SIMPLE
Form our own militia. 10,000 Americans well armed take a stroll across the border and invade Mehhecoo. We could stand off their military and police. Stand down the invaders, and get back into the country as heros. Call it OPERATION MEXICAN BACON.
And millions and millions have moved back to where they came from, most of those from Mexico.
The United States has undergone cycles of accepting immigrants and of clamping down on immigration while the last cycle assimilates.
We are at the point of saturation now. The United States is at a record percent of people in the country who were not born here.
Illegal immigration has become easier and easier as the world has shrunk with technological innovation. That is why the U.S. needs to construct the wall, to make illegal immigration more difficult.
Sure, many immigrants just want the same things as other people. But remember, people are basically wild animals that must be tamed. Both science (people are the most dangerous predator on earth), and Christianity (people are born into original sin) agree on this.
The people coming have been raised, and are accustomed to, a corrupt government where the rules must be violated to survive.
The U.S. will not survive, as a constitutional republic, with the influx of another hundred million people from Central and South America. We would become California (rapidly imploding into an approximation of a banana republic) or Venezuela.
There are easily a hundred million people South of the border who would love to come here.
They will all be better served by a strong United States as a Constitutional Republic.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply… A lot of wisdom in what you post.
Here’s some uncomfortable truth for the both of us. America is changing… It’s always been changing… But the changes now are evident and unfortunately drastic. The cultural changes at times make me weep and at times make me vomit and always keep me on my knees…
... however, the demographic changes are building every year… And the unfortunate truth is we can’t stop it. I am 63 years old and the country that I knew growing up is long gone… It will never return. The upswell of disenfranchised people from South and Central America will only increase… And I I am afraid that the current political climate simply does not have the backbone nor the foresight to stop or even much slowdown the changes that lay ahead Iof us.
I’ll be dead soon… Anf America will continue to change… We know that’s the truth. We can slow it down… We can quote Go to war“… But I doubt highly of that will happen.
… The vast majority of Americans are too complacent… Two “comfortable“… I love watching so many of the Internet “tough guys“ that are on conservative blogs… Talking about their AR 15 and how they can’t wait to mix it up with such and such political opponent or such and such demographic minority… Makes me sad.
Are problem does not lie in south America or central America or Mexico… The enemy that we face is in Washington DC… very little back bone… Mostly lawyers… Not much action. It has been so greatly refreshing to watch President Trump take one after the other to the woodshed. Men of action… Men of valor of God And country… Where have you gone.
I will continue to pray and I know that my heavenly father has all of this in his control… Hey see readies the return of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Best to you always.
I continue to do the same. I prayed for forgiveness and for the United States to have another chance to move toward a righteous existence.
That seems to have happened.
The United States, as with all countries, is always changing. We seem to be at a point where we maintain a constitutional republic, or regress into a kleptocracy of elites and masses of poor people, like much of the rest of the world.
God does not expect us to be passive actors in this drama. We are to love our neighbors and our enemies, but that does not mean that we destroy ourselves and our country in our charity.
I believe we can be more effective as a constitutional republic.
Scripture also says that we should care for our own needy ahead of others.
Our government is supposed to create a system of justice for our welfare. That is clearly a Christian concept. Protecting our borders fits under that concept.
I understand your concern. But demographic changes are not destiny. The United States is conceptually colorblind. Human nature is not black, white, yellow or brown. The concepts the United States is built on do not rely on color.
Given time, we can assimilate our immigrants, but our capacity to do so is not infinite.
We need to damage a few Mexican bridges to stop the buses.
