Haha, no worries did I get the “Jesus wept” right? I still don’t understand the context on that one but threw that in for you like Anchorman “When in Rome”.
Even if we use your assumption set (and ignore the fact that immigrants spend money which then gives revenue to other people which they in turn spend. aka the multiplier effect) this means that each immigrant costs 7k. 7k*4k = 28mm. That’s like 1/4 of what Trump spends on GOLFING per year.
Ya guy, let’s “evolve” by spending all our time on a small group of people fleeing violence thousands of miles from our borders, while white people continue to execute our own citizens within our own walls with impunity, cheered on by the political rhetoric of those in power. Let’s freak out about the supposed disease these people are bringing in while we stand aside and let corporations destroy our planet all in the name of a good third quarter result.
Tonight, President Trump said migrants from caravan weren’t legitimate asylum seekers because they were refusing Mexico’s offer for asylum. Tonight, Mexico govm’t officials say 2,934 Central American migrants have applied for refugee status.
Trump on caravan: They’ve overrun and hurt badly Mexican soldiers. Just got off the phone with Mexico @ SEGOB_mx. They tell me two federal police officers were struck by rocks during a confrontation at border. Injuries were “not serious or life threatening.”
I agree the situation is rough. I also don’t see these keyboard warriors donating 20%, 10% or any meaningful amount to charities. Where was the support for the last year when things were worsening in Honduras? How many refugees are you housing in your apartment right now? How much time did you spend volunteering with homeless shelters this week for the citizens we already can’t house? Was it more or less than the time wasted watching the NFL or the World Series? Bunch of hypocrites, garbage in, garbage out.
Really? That’s pathetic. Unlike you I don’t feel the need to share everything about my life in every topic in an attempt to flex on others about how great I am. You don’t know what I do with my free time. I’m just some jackass on the internet, no one should even care about that.
ITT: unless you are actively in Honduras or housing refugees you can have no opinion on the topic. Did you have in-depth knowledge of the Kavanaugh situation to call that a political stunt? Did you put in the requisite time with all the parties involved before you labeled that an obvious sham?
I never called it a stunt or a sham. I said I don’t know if he’s guilty or not and said it was impossible given the evidence to conclude either way. That was always my stance. Unfortunately no points for you, but nice try though.
Anyhow, nice attempt at a deflection but I’ll chalk that one as a win, little defensive much? My point stands. Libruls (even/especially those in denial) love to champion these garbage causes so they can go to sleep feeling they have some moral superiority. How many homeless are wandering around sh*tting on the streets in SF because they can’t care for their own? The north east loves open borders because it literally will never impact them in their ivory tower. Instead of taking a puritanical view of imposing your morality on others why not just lead by example? Mostly because its less convenient than updating your FB profile photo frame to raise awareness and virtue signal I guess.
You said look at the timing, look at what is at stake as a way to say it was a politically motivated stunt. Don’t like that one? Fine, throw it out. The point remains that requiring someone to have gotten their hands dirty every time they are concerned about a geopolitical issue is absurd. It’s an effective way to attempt to mute someone’s speech, that’s for sure.
“Garbage causes”. What even is the cause here? Pointing out that this is an attempt to fear monger the gullible public and an overblown use of military force? It’s a humanitarian crisis. You know I’m fine with calling out the brunch libs but in this case I’m also fine with people sitting armchair and making a call that this whole thing is a Fox News/Trump/GOP work. It’s certainly better than running around yelling “winning!!” over and over. Jeez.
Ok agreed that Fox is going too far in one direction. On the other hand, advocating open borders when we can’t deal with our own homeless and opiod issues because people want to virtue signal over taking action in their own cities and leading by example is still bad policy. My point is just that people taking a moralistic stance on this occupy no high ground. Nobody was outraged at CNN when Obama took a tough position against illegal immigration. Also, I’m not the one down voting you just as a disclaimer.
