    I offer my thoughts and prayers. If it's good enough for slaughtered American Children for the right, it's more than enough for these poor migrants.

    Why do my thoughts and prayers bother you Steve? How come the rights thoughts and prayers are fine and enough when American Children get slaughtered in their classrooms, but not enough for migrants?

    you mean Biden isn't calling for bans on "assault trucks" that can hold more than 10 illegal immigrants?

    Now you’re going way beyond being intentionally annoying, now you’re being intentionally annoying specifically towards me. Say it again and I’ll put you on ignore and it will be no great loss since you rarely contribute anything of substance.

    Biden or someone on the left will most likely say that if we just let them come here without restrictions they’d still be alive. I can almost hear AOC saying that.

    Apparently blatant lies are tolerated here as well as group insults.

    And you've also shown your complete inability, with every single post in any thread your involved in, that you can't engage in any kind of discussion.

    Therefore, your posts are doing nothing but cluttering up the forums and, fortunately, there's a fix for that.

    Using your argument, the Republicans played a numbers game when they imported 2.3 million Cubans?

    You know how silly it sounds, right?

    What gave them hope when they came here in 2017 - 2020 "like never before in US history"? Using your argument, it was the Republican party and the blood is on their hands.

    Partisan hackery........sigh

    As a Floridian, you know better than that. A LOT of the Cubans who came here did so to get away from the communist Castro regime. Yes... imagine -- real, genuine applicants for ASYLUM. But, because you seem to be so very well-informed, perhaps you could tell us how many of the inbound Cubans used legal mechanisms like the "Anchor Baby" ploy to lock themselves into the American welfare system, or just 'walked on water' in great CARAVANS to invade our country illegally. Oh, and while you're at it, provide some kind of PROOF that Cubans coming here was anything caused by the Republican Party.

    Oh, BTW, your vast knowledge which we've seen includes my state of Colorado, too, will be enriched by learning that Colorado Representative, Lauren Boebert SHATTERED her opponent(s) in the primary election here yesterday. The muck-raking smear campaign that called her everything from a stupid, 'uneducated' person to a whore failed. You may be sure that Democrat manipulators and propaganda-artists in Denver aren't very happy about that! :nana:

    Wait, so an entire American community is suffering because there’s 50 dead illegal immigrants? How does that work?

    or are you disingenuously equating 2 things simply because their common factor is death? Lol.

    Everyone who comes here is getting away from something unpleasant. Your partisan argument was that anyone other than Cubans are somehow brought here by Democrats, but Cubans had a valid reason. Not only were the Cubans allowed in, they were granted citizenships so they could vote, and they vote Republican. GOP would never win Florida without them, so I suppose the effort paid off.

    A LOT of them are anchor babies. Anyone born to Cuban migrants is an anchor baby. I personally know quite a few Cuban anchor babies. Like anchor babies born to migrants from any nation, the kids speak English, while the parents typically do not. There are Cubans here who came here in the 1960s and don't speak any English. Obviously they can't walk on water, so they come in boats and rafts. Duh.

    Good for you. You can have a hooker represent you in DC.

    Keep in mind that truckfuls of dead migrants being smuggled have been found for many years. This event is not unique.

    Biden is a traitor for what he's encouraging at the border, but this is not the first time suffocated immigrants have been discovered in the back of a semi truck.

    And we need to find a way to utterly dissuade it. Just a horrible way to die.

    They know the risks, but they are willing to try. Illegal immigration peaked in the 1980s (Trump said it was even worse when he was in office, but who knows), and even back then these things happened. The June heat in those areas is merciless.

    Sorry, but an unpleasant life is not reason for ASYLUM. Cubans actually had a legal and generally legit claim at the time. I still don't agree with it, but it happened. Economic hardship to the south of us are NOT a reason. By those standards, anyone living anywhere in the US can ask for tax payers to pay for their moving expenses to go someplace nicer. Why are we paying to ship ILLEGALS around the country, but a citizen living in a slum somewhere shouldn't get a free ticket to Martha's Vinyard?? Why not? Because its stupid!! And so are 99% of the claims ANYONE has, who just show up at a border crossing with no documentation, money, skills or education. GO HOME!!!

    And I saw anchor babies every day I dropped my kids off when they were in elementary school or walked through Walmart. Probably looking at some right now, mowing lawns outside.

    No I don't have a number because I don't claim that Biden has an open border policy.

    Nothing disingenuous about my statement at all. I sincerely offer my heart felt thoughts and prayers and nothing else. That is after all how the GOP deals with mass deaths when they occur and rightists agree with them. Not sure why that's a problem here when I offer the exact same.

    "Anyone born to Cuban migrants is an anchor baby"...? Obviously, we have quite different opinions about exactly what an 'anchor baby' is and what the FUNCTION of an 'anchor baby' is, as leveraged by Democrats since the mid-1960's.

    It's interesting to see how you and your faction rationalize illegal migration as merely being understandable because, after all, they're just "getting away from something unpleasant"... so, they bring the seeds of that 'unpleasantness' with them and PLANT IT AND THEMSELVES HERE, where they're carefully nurtured, cultured, and supported by America-hating Democrats interested in harvesting the eventual, inevitable votes....

    Afterword: You and your faction can 'hate-on' Lauren Boebert as much as you like. Denver-based Democrats will toil like ants to try to discredit and defame her, but, because none of those hyperliberal crudballs are in her district, they can't VOTE against her. Prediction: she'll win in November in the same kind of landslide that she just won the primary in.

    Final thought: you may be interested in reading about a Greek philosopher named Protagoras... you remind me of him in some respects.

    If you think the 80's were the peak you may want to relook at the numbers. Right now is the peak.
