I'm sorry that you read it that way and I should have worded it differently. The point I was trying to make is the mentality abound in the u.s. and anywhere that the demographics change so rapidly. People tend to get xenophobic when their perception is that their culture, language way of life is being challenged by an outside group.
its quite the opposite. trump himself said they are bringing crime, rapists, drugs, they are not sending their best...he said w a shrug of the shoulders "some of them are good"
Not one statement he made in that part of his speech was false. Every word can be proven.
Is Mexico actually sending "those" people? You said it can be proven. Or are they coming on their own? And none of those who are being "sent", actually sent, are the best? No doctors are being "sent?" No scientists? Can you prove that?
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best.
tell me what are the fears then? i mentioned the fears that i admit are understandably part of our human nature of being afraid of people different than us. the fear that their customs, culture, language will replace ours. understandable, and i never said nothing should be done about it. we should do everything in our power to maintain a balance so that we are not over run by any one group of "outsiders" i am fully aware of that and would love it if our leaders could stop acting like children and actually meet each other somewhere in the middle so we can actually try to solve the problem.
We do. If illegal immigrants are using those safety nets they are doing so ... illegally.
would be wonderful if we could use them for Americans instead of illegal immigrants
Yeah! Let's round up those felonious pot smokers! Because smoke pot is a federal felony!
It would be nice if everyone were subject to those laws, not just me.
Nope. You can, however, apply for refugee status at an embassy.
It is also possible to ask for asylum at any US Embassy, including those in Mexico.

Go to Salvador, see how the US destroyed them and now they are looking for reasons to get back what they used to have.
Ah the sacar el pes del agua event of 1981 where the LOCAL Government down there killed about 1000 people within 3 days... I guess that is what you mean...
That is why the people are coming to America? OK...

Yep. Fraud is fraud, no matter who does it. But I don't think "admitting" is the correct word, since I never denied it. But you sort of made it sound that they were getting those benefits legally.
So you are admitting they continue to break the law after the illegal crossing?
Once again you avoid the point. The adminstration has chosen to apply a zero tolerance policy to illegal crossing while choosing to not bust pot smokers.
Yeah, still waiting on Schumer. You think he's actually going to do something besides talk about it?
Nope. You can, however, apply for refugee status at an embassy.
And you won't get separated from your kids.
