Oh well, can't say I didn't warn...

Same here.

Illegal immigration "superhighway" 3/31/19

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/mar/31/us-mexico-border-illegal-immigration-superhighway/

Mexican officials warn of another caravan of 20,000 migrants preparing to shoot north, hoping to take advantage of the lax enforcement in both Mexico and lenient policies in the U.S. About 100,000 immigrants responding to those incentives have been nabbed at the border in March alone.

“The result is an illegal immigration superhighway that’s flowing through Mexico,” one senior Homeland Security Department official told The Washington Times.

By now, the nature of the border problem is clear: Families and children, assisted by drug smuggling cartels, have figured out how to exploit loopholes in federal law to gain a foothold in the U.S. They are coming in larger numbers and poorer health, and Homeland Security says it has reached the breaking point.

The UN plans to bring in more of them than there are Americans.

It was native black and Latino people that overwhelmingly were looking to leave the San Fran area in those recent polls.

They are the ones first hurt by floods of migrants.

That is one reason why closeted racist leftists promote unbridled immigration.

And I should clarify that white and Asian people have the same complaints about too many people, and I have never heard anyone complain about “brown people” coming here. I have heard plenty of people accuse others of caring about “brown people” though, when most often that is not the issue at all.

It's not stealing if we're forced to take the land for national security reasons because Mexico refuses to secure their borders.

Trump did say that Mexico would pay for the wall. This could be how.

I'd say yes to a war with Mexico. Invade Mexico, tell them that we could take their whole country easily if we wanted to, don't shoot anybody, and tell them what we want, and Mexico should be good with it. And what we want are military bases in Mexico where we can house the migrants that are trying to get in to the US. A DMZ between US in Mexico. We have troops patrolling the DMZ and arresting everyone in the DMZ.

put a factory next to the military base. We don't want these people to become Democrat voters. These aren't bad folks, we just don't want to import them and give them free stuff.

We can withdraw all of our military from the Middle East and put them in North Mexico to accomplish all this.

Yeah, that's getting with the site mission. Bravo.

The Hispanic and black people I know who do not want more immigration do not complain about “brown people”, they complain about crowds, traffic, homeless people $#@!ting on the street and living in the bushes, the price and lack of availability of housing, depressed wages, etc.

Since many people are not on the front lines, they may complain about something else, like all of the people leaving California for the reasons stated above, and ruining their State with bleeding heart, counter-productive, self-destructive leftism.

Some are lucky enough to be in a bubble where they don’t feel any effect (yet).

But yes, there are political games being played by many sides on this issue.

Charity?? Or Freedom from the Attacks we inflict on their homes?

Go where the bombs don't fall..

edit to add,,, Also,, the Dictators we Have Imposed on them have effectively disarmed their populations,, so resistance is minimal.

The statist plan of action is as follows:

1. We the Fed will build that Wall at cost in both dollars and freedom to "prevent socialism".

2. We the Fed will continue to provide welfare and free handouts as long as you become government owned by way of "documentation". Fear not, the Wall will go up, but Benefits will remain.

3. We the Fed will not permit people to travel or work "undocumented" or negotiate private contract rights between business and employee, but the Fed fully supports working for government mandated wages.

4. We the Fed promise that the Wall will work to ensure 1 through 3. With added documented people paying into our Federal system, we will continue to fund socialism that we are pretending to stop. The side benefit to becoming "documented" is participating in federal elections.


The libertarian response is: The Wall will not work. The Wall will mandate wages, mandate papers please, restrict freedom to travel, and does not lead to lesser contributions in taxes, but in fact more.

Charity??

Yes.

The situation (bums, addicts, mentally ill on the streets) is described mostly correctly. Stossell tends to stay simple though in his segments, which is fine. They are short and can’t get into details. The causes are myriad, and the solutions would be complex.

Yes, new development would help to a certain extent with the housing shortage. And there are other parts of the Bay Area where every available space is being redeveloped into large mid-rise condo and apartment complexes. They even tear down large two story apartment complexes and replace them with five story, more dense complexes. Which, by the way, never have enough parking, so you just created a new parking (and traffic) problem.

The point is that these bums, addicts and mentally ill people will never move into any of these new places. The new housing will be occupied by people with jobs. The problem is the incentives that draw these people, lack of mental institutes, and absolute non-enforcement of any laws. As the girl in the video said, they might arrest you for having an open beer, but feel free to shoot up and lay in the middle of sidewalk vomiting on yourself.

Bleeding heart, brainwashed social justice Democrats don’t want any action taken, until the problem shows up at their front door. Then they scream for the Police to do something, and the Police tell them “sorry, our hands are tied”. Things may change as the insanity of leftist politics destroys the quality of life, but then again, many just leave to go infect a new State. Most recent immigrants don’t complain about such things.

We could think even bigger and take all of Mexico. We would just need to supply the drugs cartels with enough guns and money to stage a coup on Mexico City. If Mexico City falls to drug lords then we could invade and restore order and we wouldn't be invaders at that point we would be heroes.

We could then deport everyone on Mexico who has a criminal history, which is basically everyone on Mexico. To like Guatemala or something.

Just a few thoughts.

The study is old and it is lying on the side of claiming there are less coming than there are, they had been lying about how many were here but they had to admit there were more than they claimed, there may be far more than they admitted.

The study is lying but it is telling the truth. You just pick which part you want to believe.

2. We the Fed will continue to provide welfare and free handouts as long as you become government owned by way of "documentation". Fear not, the Wall will go up, but Benefits will remain.

Most everybody in that picture supports those handouts.

How do you propose to eliminate those handouts, especially when they start voting?

I hope it never comes to that, but if it does, well, I guess we would just need to vote even harder than we already are.
