    Since your news sources apparently are not keeping you very well informed about the migrant issue (by your own admittance), here is a link showing the migrant problem still exists, is still active, is still in the news, and is still being dealt with ----

    So your referring to the 350 migrants who went ahead of the group. The main caravan is still weeks away. Those 350 represent about 1% of the numbers that cross that port daily.

    You keep dodging the question. WHY were troops deployed months in advance of them reaching our borders, and a week before the election ?

    "The refugees seeking haven in America were poor and disease-ridden. They threatened to take jobs away from Americans and strain welfare budgets. They practiced an alien religion and pledged allegiance to a foreign leader. They were bringing with them crime. They were accused of being rapists. And, worst of all, these undesirables were Irish."

    Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

    https://www.history.com/news/when-america-despised-the-irish-the-19th-centurys-refugee-crisis

    The same was thought of the Italians:

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/10/opinion/falco-italian-immigrants/index.html

    And the Chinese:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Chinese_sentiment_in_the_United_States

    And the Catholics:

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/when-america-hated-catholics-213177

    Do you not see that the same arguments you make today were made at every successive immigration wave that has occured since this country's founding?

    Do you wish to deport all the Irish, Italians, Catholics, and Chinese now living in America?

    Would you argue that any of these ethnicities and religions failed to assimilate into the greater American culture?

    Are you so dense as not to see that your arguments are based in fear and xenophobic hyperbole, as were the arguments against every single wave of immigration that this country has received?

    I would argue that each of these immigrant waves added to the greater makeup of American society. You would choose to cower and hurl insults at the "others", while wrapped in an American flag.

    Pitiful. Tragic. And cowardly.

    Your question has been answered a hundred times. I'm not dodging it, I'm tired of repeating myself.

    Repeat after me....... Deterrent. Preparation. Comprendes?

    BS. Pure and simple. Who do you think picks your vegetables? White people? Hahaha!

    And regardless of the need, the immigrants I mentioned were vilified by American "nationalists", read: racists. Just like immigrants from South and Central America today.

    Only a fool would fail to see the similarities.

    Since when does race play a role in who should do which jobs? "White people" can pick vegetables as well as any Hispanic, and I'm really tired of this basically racist mentality that some jobs are beneath "white people".

    Aside from that, one sure way to push lazy welfare abusers back into the job market is to reform welfare ---- not import new workers.

    What you conveniently ignore while you bask in your cloud of self-righteous ignorance is that the Irish, the Italians, the Chinese, and other varieties of "Catholics" came here LEGALLY as aspiring individuals, entered the country LEGALLY as aspiring individuals, and applied for citizenship LEGALLY as aspiring individuals.

    The didn't GANG-BANG our borders in caravans, with America-hating lawyers using every tactic imaginable to get them in here by any means necessary, including using the ruse of "asylum"....

    The cowards and traitors among us are those slinking bastards who will do anything to make America turn into a 'shithole' country equally bad as any of those that these caravan-borne 'migrants' will be pouring in here from!
    [​IMG]. How many were Italians, Irish, or Chinese...?! :omg:

    I was ignoring nothing. I was referring to the sentiment which has raised its ugly head every time some "others" attempt to come here. Their legality to do so notwithstanding. This time it is towards brown people, but the script remains the same through the ages.

    It's simply white men in fear.

    Seems the Gallup report doesn't paint the picture the Brietbart is trying to peddle to their bigoted base.


    33% who want to migrate if they could becomes 16% who want to migrate to the US if they could becomes 2% of adults actually preparing to migrate. All of a sudden its 600,000 or so that are trying to migrate, most of whom are trying to migrate LEGALLY.

    But America is being invaded by the under privileged brown man in numbers that necessitate the US ARMY to defend its border.

    Paranoid bigoted bullshit from the master and dutifully shovelled by the his acolytes and allies.

    That's why I don't generally waste any time on Breitfart. They're as fake as fake news gets.

    I agree. Legal immigration is one thing, but a big crowd of thousands of gate crashers who are just making a big push to get in the US for the free stuff is that last thing in the world that this country needs. Any liberal who supports this is a traitor against America.

    Why are the Mayans fleeing violence and poverty for a better life so special? There are literally billions of people all over the world living in similar circumstances. Should we start flying 757s over to Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia to pick up their ‘huddled masses’. After all, we have unlimited resources........just ask our veterans, and the folks in Appalachia and our Ghettos. In the words of our newest socialist Congresswoman ‘just pay for it’.

    Seeing brown people working in fields must make you yearn for the democrat's good ol' days.

    There was no switch. Dems are just as hung up on race today as they were back then.

    Which is why there are so many minorities in the Republican party.
