Trump Has Crossed a Truly Unacceptable Line (Truth about Haitian invaders is "Unacceptable")

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When my family moved back to the United States from East Africa in the mid-1980s, one might have thought it was a peak time of compassion for people suffering in faraway places. A glittering group of music superstars had recorded “We Are the World,” a smash hit charity single to raise money and awareness for the victims of a brutal famine that had gripped my mother’s home country, Ethiopia.

But when I told my new grade school classmates of my origins, I was met with cruel taunts. I was awfully fat for an Ethiopian, one said with a snigger. Must be nice to be able to have access to so much food, another joked. At the time, this was puzzling and upsetting — I had moved from Kenya, not Ethiopia, to my father’s home state, Minnesota. But the facts didn’t matter. These unkind remarks did the job the bullies hoped they would: They made me feel like an alien, an unwelcome stranger.

We live in even crueler times now, with humanitarian catastrophes unfolding on several continents, but the response of the wealthy world has been to demand tighter borders and higher fences. There is no blockbuster charity single raising money for starving refugees from the civil war raging in Sudan. And now, the cruel taunts come not just from schoolyard bullies and cranks on the political fringes, but from the lips of a man who stood on the presidential debate stage on Tuesday, a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.

as for this poor, ‘abused’ lady - don’t like it? Go elsewhere.

Unacceptable as the Truth always is to the fantasist Marxists of the Slimes!

Ignore the 15 million here with no knowledge where they are, and WE paid to ship them all over for the demonrat party.
F you Times, burn in hell. And maybe someone will help you, one can pray.

Must be the NYT. Smart bird.

Poor, poor baby.

If only Lydia could talk to my dearly departed Dad about his experiences coming to Ellis Island from Germany in 1927 at age 3 and then living in the Bronx. That was only nine years after WW I ended and Germans were REVILED. The street and school taunts he endured were a million times worse than being called "fat." He had to learn how to box at an early age to survive (he boxed in the Marine Corps when he grew up and enlisted).

Lydia, quit whining. Life is tough. Being called "fat" is not a problem.

“I was awfully fat for an Ethiopian, one said with a snigger”
Because this woman was “sniggered” at, we therefore have to make Haiti the 51st US State.

It's amusing to see Trump's enemies still haven't grasped the Streisand Effect... The more they mock him to distract from his message, the more attention they focus on what he said. Trump raised the issue of migrant savages eating pets and the media derisively repeated it to a wider audience. Now the flood of videos on social media will prove Trump was right.

All the truth needs to flourish is Courage, and Courage is what makes Trump great.

What is it you don’t care about?

What a weird hill to die on.

Go back to East Africa then.
We are not the world.

I don’t care what this person is whining about. We cared enough back in the day forty years ago. If she and her family entered this country legally then that’s well and good. But she wants something else entirely.

...a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.

Only if the former president happens to be a black Democrat. If he's a white Republican, the Oval Office is a cage.

Made me laugh. I don’t CARE if it was a cat or duck or if it was just that Kamala dumped 20,000 Haitians on a town of 60,000 people! It was INSANE!

A government that does that has lost its right to BE the government. And a woman who LAUGHS about it like Kamala did during the debate deserves to be tossed into the Kitty Litter!

“They are eating the cats”. DJT

[Jim W N]

No, Lydia Polgreen. We Patriots do not acknowledge the lines you lying Leftists have drawn.

[waredbird]

Killing baby humans, chopping them up and selling their organs is ok but heaven forbid if cats and dog are barbecued.

[firebrand]

The Times did a front-page story a few days ago on how in some African country they have started eating the wild animals, legally. The protection for the animals is gone, because people are starving.

When are people going to realize we are overpopulated? It should not be a conservative sin to tell the truth.

[butlerweave]

Just wait until these Haitians start demanding reparations . With all the accidents where do they get the money to buy cars in the first place ?
