Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan
NY Mag ^ | 12/8/2018 | Eric Levitz

Posted on 12/08/2018 8:47:02 AM PST by conservative98

...Bundy naturally just disavowed the militia movement in solidarity with the migrant caravan, suggested that nationalism is actually the opposite of patriotism, and said that Trump’s America resembles nothing so much as 1930s Germany.

Last week, Bundy posted a video to Facebook in which he criticized President Trump for demonizing the Central American migrants who were traveling in a caravan to seek asylum in the United States.

“To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — but he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here,” Bundy observed. “What about individuals, those who have come for reasons of need for their families, you know, the fathers and mothers and children that come here and were willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?”

Bundy went on to observe that “faith is the opposite of fear” and that “we have been asked by God to help, to be welcoming, to assist strangers, to not vex them.” He also provided his viewers with a quick fact-check of the president’s claims that liberal billionaire George Soros had orchestrated the caravan, and that there were terrorists embedded among the migrants.

Bizarrely, the following that Bundy had amassed by threatening insurrectionary violence against Barack Obama’s government did not take kindly to his call for solidarity with the oppressed of Central America.

“It’s like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening,” Bundy told BuzzFeed News this week. “The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don’t want to associate myself with warmongers.”

Bundy is quite emotional after the Islamic level of torture he experienced.

Yeah, all thanks to YOU.

If he supports the illegal caravans, I don’t give a damn what he thinks.

I have always thought if we think and say the right things 50 percent of the time, we are doing pretty good. Bundy is badly wrong concerning this and I agree if he owned or leased land real close to the border he would have a different opinion. I would like to know what Mr. Finnicum’s opinion would be.

"Do you really belong in a thread full of NAZI crazies like this?"

You've been around FR since 98 and now you're calling us NAZI's?

"...with the oppressed of Central America."

And non-Democrats' trust in the media continues to circle the toilet.

I've been trying to find the video. It is no longer available.

Per the daily caller:

Ammon Bundy Picks A Fight With Trump Over Immigration 12:16 PM 11/29/2018 | Energy Tim Pearce | Energy Reporter
......................
Ammon Bundy said in a video posted on Facebook he was advocating for an immigration solution in the “middle” of the political left and right. He criticized liberals for having “bleeding hearts” and conservatives for fear-mongering and generalizing immigrants.
......................

Refugees immigrating legally from oppressive countries should be welcomed in the United States after going through a vetting process, Ammon Bundy said Tuesday. He did not address how immigrants trying to cross into the U.S. illegally should be handled.

“To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done, you know I try to speak very respectfully, but he has basically called them all criminals and said they are not coming in here. At least that’s what I’ve seen,” Ammon Bundy said, taking a shot at Trump.

WATCH: Video no longer available

Ammon Bundy called opposition to immigrants “based upon fear.” Conservatives worry that the immigrants will “take our food,” “destroy our country with welfare” and “bring in a disease,” he said.

“We have been asked by God to help, to be welcoming, to assist strangers, to not vex them,” Ammon Bundy added. “I have been, frankly, surprised, disappointed and even, at times, disgusted by the amount of people who profess to be Christians but will not truly adhere to what Christ said.”

“There is a possibility of danger with some of [the immigrants]. They need to be vetted, and then they need to be brought in here and added to this great, wonderful country in which we live,” he continued. “They should not be given welfare. That will ruin them.”

Now he’s against President Trump because he needs illegals to provide labor to run his ranch.

All the people who depend on illegals are the ones who are opposed to the border wall.


BINGO!!

Trump didn’t call them all criminals or all rapists. Maybe it’s just that Leftists have a fundamental problem with language.

It’s not illegals per se he wants - it’s low labor rates. If importing 10m legal aliens a year helps accomplish that, he’d support it. Assuming all other things remain constant, a surge in labor supply means a drop in labor rates. As a farmer who can’t exactly build a plant in Mexico to harvest and process his farm’s output, open borders is what he wants, because that’s how he keeps his costs low.

It looks like Bundy is one of those sovereign citizen types. And yes, it’s a horribly misleading label for an anarchist but it’s what we’re stuck with, Leftist controlled language.
