The Border Crisis Reaches Your Child's Middle School
Real Clear Politics ^ | February 16, 2022 | Betsy McCaughy

Think you live too far from the Mexican border to be hurt by the chaos there?

Bloomfield is a picturesque village in central Connecticut, 3,500 miles from the Mexican border. But illegal drugs flowing across that border nearly killed a 16-year-old student at Bloomfield High School two weeks ago. He tried marijuana, not knowing it was laced with fentanyl. Police rushed to the school nurse's office and administered two doses of Narcan just in time to save him.

Bloomfield is NOT a picturesque village. But hey, narrative.

No. Border is only about 35-40 miles south. I see the results here daily. I also read the Sheriff’s reports from a couple of counties here, Cochise & Pinal. No reason to look at Pima nor Maricopa since both toe the company line.

I just looked online and saw picturesque pictures of that town, complete with white steeple. But hey, negativity.

I doubt most people here are familiar with The Camp of the Saints. You may want to summarize it for them.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

School administrations need to drive parents to take their children out of public schools and send them to private schools or home school them. This will allow room for illegals.

I think all should read it in full, but that's up to the individuals.

Essentially destruction of the Western world via third world immigration.

Here's a link to purchase at Goodreads. Just click the online tab for options.

We live 100 miles away from the border and don’t see any problems at all. Of course, that’s the Canada-US border near us.

But I haven’t gone to the Eastport-Kingsgate border crossing to see if it is clogged up with trucks.

Thanks, I bought the book a while ago. I remember that the author wanted to use Muslim countries, but picked India to stay clear of the politics involved with telling the truth. It was also written in 1975...hard to believe people could see it coming almost 50 years ago.

For others, the book basically outlines how the Europeans are simply powerless to fight-off unarmed masses of people arriving at their shores - he nailed it.

That’s exactly why the left hates it, he’s correct.

People and cultures are not equal.

Not quite. Bloomfield to McAllen in Hidalgo county Texas at the Mexico border is about 2,100 miles. Bloomfield to Tijuana is about 2,900 miles. Bloomfield to McAllen is about 3,400 kilometers.

The crisis is worse than a crisis. Trump can win in 2024 with 3 lines - Build the Wall.

Not even close. Very sad, yet very true. I’ve told my kids to never become friends with anyone tribal (which means stick to white males as friends), simply because they can go tribal at any moment, as happened to me several times over the years. As to a wife for the boys, don’t even consider an American...same problem. There are still plenty overseas.

Truth is the most important thing, even if deemed “ugly”.

“Truth is the most important thing, even if deemed “ugly”.”

Yep, and it’s a survival skill. One time on an overseas tour some of the locals were a bit freaked out by these two big black (American) women with us. Even though I couldn’t understand what they were saying, their gestures made it quite clear. The women, understanding that this was not their country, took it in stride. But I marveled at the freedom in over there, where they didn’t have to worry about having their lives ruined simply for saying what they were thinking.

It’s quite interesting how “white people/countries” are racist and yet non whites keeping moving to “white countries”.
I don’t want to hurt or control any race, I just want to live with people like myself which is “racist” only for white people.
