Nice pics; nobody will admit it, but the reason the southern border is left wide open is to let in ANYONE who will shop here, live here in a house or apartment, put kids’ asses in the seats in our public schools, and yes, even put convicts in our prisons. There are a lot of people in gubmint jobs who should really be laid off due to these population shifts, and the municipalities’ answers are to let in ANYONE (and stop their law enforcement from doing anything about it).
NJ and NY just lost another House seat, and that trend will continue; that is why Obama is “nationalizing” as much socialism as possible - the Dems have to remove the advantages of businesses and taxpayers to move to “American” states.
[ANYONE who will shop here, live here in a house or apartment]
W's idea of the "Ownership Society" had noble intentions.
I think W recognized that there was a choice to be made -- between having those folks South of the border become disenfranchised fodder sent here as part of a communist revolutionary uprising, or, preemptively assimilating them to become owners and caretakers in the American Dreams.
Common sense dictates the humane preference for the latter.
Unfortunately the noble vision of the "Ownership Society" was exploited by criminal predators who gamed the relaxed lending standards required to implement the vision, and turned the noble potential into a nightmare of systemic corruption whose a$$paper fruits are still poisoning the global financial infrastructure.
