Detention centers, past and present

We don’t know what migrants to the United States, now on our borders, have suffered. We know what we are being told. Is there any reason to suspect we are not being told the truth? Could it be possible there is gang violence and people are being subject to cruelty that we can only image? Why would someone want to leave their county, where they have family and speak the language, and come to an unknown country and an unknown language? Our low-paying jobs are not the only answer.

We tend to think of America as a place to which everyone wants to come; but like the Jews who left their homes and had family members murdered, people want safety. Maybe we should give it to them, and maybe one day we will allow these “detention” centers to be open to the public so people can really see what happened in 2018.

As we approach Christmas, one parish in England portrayed Jesus locked up and said their message is of Jesus taking care of one another. That is clearly not happening with lockups of children from migrant parents who want to come to the U.S.

Well ms. RATner, surely you'll throw open the doors to your ,I'm sure, humble abode and take a dozen or so in. And provide all the care they need from clothes to medical to transportation. You're most likely in a better position than a lot of folks out here to do that. Probably your lefty pal jerry rivers can give you some pointers as we're sure he'll also be taking some in to at least one of his residences. Pretty disgraceful of you to compare this to refugees from europe. Those people were willing to work and die for what they had been promised. And yes, the brits were not very giving to them.

Don’t care.

They are not Americans.

They did not apply to be Americans in their home country.

They did not wait their turn, pay their fees, learn the language, or comply with the laws.

BUILD THE WALL!

DEPORT THEM ALL!

If things are so bad here, maybe they should consider staying in their own country. If they expect better treatment here, we need to find out who’s telling them that and why. Seems they’re getting lied to on a massive scale in their homelands.

Everything is FREE in America. They come for the freebies. If one has children more freebies are available. They come to game the system. Illegals cost Americans twice what they contribute.

“Our low paying jobs are not the answer.”

How about our low-paying ALL CASH jobs, paid under the table, no taxes, and our HIGH-paying welfare benefits. Combining these results in a standard of living above that of many United States citizens who actually work and pay taxes.

What we think of as a “low-paying job” can look like a great deal of money in other countries.

Years ago I worked with a lady who had immigrated, legally, from India. She was a nurse there but was working as a nursing assistant here in the US. Her husband, still in India, could not understand why she was not sending money home to him. What she made here looked like a fortune to him.

She was getting some government benefits at that time; she got housing assistance and her son got free lunches in school. She was also a hard worker who had brought her son here to provide him a better life (she and her husband were of different religious backgrounds, which made her son an outcast).

She didn’t stay in her “low-paying” job (or on assistance) long; she worked and got her nursing license here in the US.

Okay. How many? The 6,000 turning Tijuana into a cesspool while throwing projectiles at our Border Patrol? How about 10,000? 30,000? 50,000? 100,000? A million and more? You open-border bleeding hearts never say the amount that would impact your American way of life, not to mention our culture.

You are all idiots. You espouse from your hearts rather than your minds. You socialists have put common-sense in a lock-box. You are destroying the greatest Nation that has ever existed on this Rock. Hope I'm still alive to see your neighborhood deteriorate into a 3rd world community. San Francisco is your future with feces, urine, needles, bums everywhere.
