Why we have all these immigrants from Latin America [It's all our fault. Barf!]
Progressive Review ^ | June 27, 2018 | By William Blum

Posted on 08/01/2018 3:07:11 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Those in the US generally opposed to immigration make it a point to declare or imply that the United States does not have any legal or moral obligation to take in these Latinos. This is not true. The United States does indeed have the obligation because many of the immigrants, in addition to fleeing from drug violence, are escaping an economic situation in their homeland directly made hopeless by American interventionist policy.

It’s not that these people prefer to live in the United States. They’d much rather remain with their families and friends, be able to speak their native language at all times, and avoid the hardships imposed upon them by American police and other right-wingers. But whenever a progressive government comes to power in Latin America or threatens to do so, a government sincerely committed to fighting poverty, the United States helps to suppresses the movement and/or supports the country’s right-wing and military in staging a coup. This has been the case in Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua and Honduras...

And Cuba? Venezuela? North Korea? North Vietnam? Cambodia? East Germany? Eastern Europe? The USSR? Let's face it. Socialism sucks, no matter where in the world totalitarians try to force it on the people. Too late, in most cases, the people then try to flee.

I thought they wanted to come here because they are drawn to the most violent, racist hateful societies that they can find!? /s

When you keep food out for the seagulls, don’t be surprised at how many show up, and how much more they demand.

Pretty soon, they’re snatching the raw hot dogs straight off the grill.

We don’t always have seagulls in Colorado ... but when we do I feed them rotten hot dogs and then chase them off by banging pots and pans.

It’s much easier to get rid of ill seagull aliens!

I owe no one anything, and my country owes no other country or organization jack spit.

Not one more ‘refugee’ or cent of military or foreign aid until every last Veteran has all of the healthcare and assistance they need and every CITIZEN is safe and secure.

The entirety of South America isn’t worth the blood or bones of one Airman or Marine grunt.

We have in excess of 30 million illegal aliens because both parties wanted to fundamentally transform the country out from under the citizens.

They simply refused US any enforcement.
Republican or Democrat.

The Democrat solution is to continue our government’s descent into corruption and crime such that our country becomes identical to the ones from which the refugees come.

What else can they do?

After all, we’re not talking folks with talent. That’s why they are in government.

I understand the concern about Latin American Mexican immigrants etal.

But the greater danger is all the Islamics who have been brought (Obama) or have snuck into USA

much greater danger. all the media talk about is Mexicans, Central Americans......... yes, they should enter legally and yes, the gang members should not be allowed in... I get all that......no argument... it is just that the media continue to cover up the larger Muslim danger to America

Before GWB was President Virginia was low crime, Republican and English speaking.

We’re a lot farther from the border, too, so there is no way I am still believing the 11-12 million they have been pushing since 2001 when W. wanted to do amnesty the first time.

It has been a long time since I have read such a steaming pantload.

Most Progressive drivel is more trite than this.

"...steaming pantload..."


Even after making the arduous journey, wouldn’t it be better for these “virtuous illegals” to return to their home country to escape the newfound racism they encountered here?
Why endure it for even a moment longer than is necessary? Save yourselves! Flee southbound.

“the gang members should not be allowed in...”

And how does the US ensure the gang members don’t get in?

If we could pick them out, their countries could simply make being in a gang illegal and the problem would be 100% solved with our consultative help alone.

“But the greater danger is all the Islamics”

I’m not so sure.

The Middle Eastern nutcases can be a handful, but they are just a handful.

The “teenagers” arriving from Central America may be 1% gang members, or 10%, or higher.

And we know these gang members are really bad.

I living in Nowheresville, FL, I don’t fear Middle Eastern madmen because we are a lousy terrorist target, but gang members could terrorize our business people and Hispanic residents.

During the eight leftist years of the Obama administration?

Many have gone leftist and only their own incompetence and bad policies are to blame.

We haven’t messed with Mexico since Woodrow Wilson’s day.

There seem to be a lot of “Fair Trade” coffee where I shop.

I’ve yet to have a great cup of anything labeled “Fair Trade”. Am I the only one?
