Practice makes perfect.....post on....
There is hope in God, but He may very well have written off the US.
Did they end with this song?

Yes. The US is toast.
The bipartisan agreement to turn us into a thrid world hell hole like Argentina is moving briskly ahead.
Haha no but I loved that movie too! Well love is a strong word - it amused us and my family often quotes that movie... everyone except me can mimic voices so I hear “matt damon” in that whiny voice all the time!
The good news is that local african american population does NOT want them dumped into their neighborhoods and are speaking out
my SIL has been appalled at following the news in Houston, a BIIIIG diff from Warren, OH~! Not that she needed waking up, she is hardcore conservative.
What a lot of people here consider squalor is just normal lower class living in Mexico-that is a different world-the 3d one...
My first husband and I went to Mexico a lot-the company he worked for had people there, and we had friends there who worked for other American companies. Since we both spoke Spanish and liked to explore off the beaten path, we ate and slept in plenty of places most people here would not consider. And no, we never got Montezuma’s revenge, because we’d been going there for so long and were used to the amoebas.
The people who live in that squalor are not always trash-maybe just poor-but the ones who come here as mojados are not, for the most part people who “just want to work”, blah, blah like the liberals say-I guess that may have been true in the past, but it wasn’t even when I was a kid, most of those people are leeches and narcos/drug traffickers, and that is why most of us native Texans of Hispanic ancestry dislike them more intensely than practically anyone else does...
When we lived in SA, the people who most disliked the illegals were the legal Mexicans. And they were pretty vocal about it, saying if they could do it legally and come here to work, so should the ones sneaking in at the border.
Thank you!
Those people are ignorant, and coyotes exploit them-then they get here, and traffickers and liberals exploit them, but that is what happens to foolish people who may not be able to read Spanish, much less English, and have been told by coyotes America can be their home for about $5000...
People who have not seen 1st hand the level of ignorance in the slums and the countryside there can’t grasp it-they think it is all about poverty, but it is not-it is about being uneducated and just plain dumb as a box of rocks...
Of course - there are honest people who have pride and just have a lesser standard of living - but I’m glad to hear you think the same of most coming here, at least to our areas of Texas. Both SA and Houston have enough resources that draw those who just want something for free. The smaller towns or communites don’t have this flood of criminals in their areas so they don’t see it
And that is exactly the way I feel-granted, my family came from Spain to what was then also Spanish territory, but they did it legally-they bought a permit to settle, and passage on a ship, like everyone from Europe did at that time...
Some of the most vocal about illegal immigration are ranchers and other people who live in SW Texas, near the border, like my family-they absolutely loathe mojados.
The first founding settlers in this county were mostly Hispanic ranchers. Illegals avoid this place like the plague, even with all the remote ranches here-they are simply not tolerated-I’ve said before that most of us have la migra on speed dial. This is a decidedly unwelcoming place for an illegal.
I can’t read anything like that without bawling my head off either-it reminds me too much of the pets I’ve lost...
I cried.
Sitting here with tears rolling down my face trying not to bawl out loud
I was bawling away and my secty brought in stuff for me to sign and I had to explain what I was bawling about! poor timing!
I also gave an extra hug to my dog and cats after seeing that.
It is not terribly hot-91-but it is still-no breeze-stifling and humid. I’ve got to pick up a check from a customer and put it in the bank, so I’ll stop at the deli on the way back, and get a turkey, cheese and veggie pita and whatever fruit looks freshest to have for dinner-it is too hot to cook or grill outside, and Husky girl just loves to be handed little bits of a pita sandwich anyway...
Thanks. No, I don’t mind.
