I was thinking about these migrants Texas and Florida are sending to sanctuary cities. Imagine for a moment it is you, a person fleeing poverty and crime wanting a new life. What do you do, what do you think. My grandparents came from Germany and Ireland during the times when immigrants were welcome. We've lost that openness and today the topic has created in politics a leaning towards authoritarianism. You see it often in our politics and the decisiveness today.

"The great enemy of morality has always been indifference. As children, as far as our awareness of things went, we had an elementary capacity for compassion. But our capacity did not develop over the years in proportion to the growth of our understanding."

We are opening welcoming. We only desire that these folks come legally under our laws. The folks you mentioned who came from Europe did it under the current laws. Here is what the left misses. There is a big difference between legal and illegal.

This phrase comes with stiupulations. In order to be "meek" one must be a lawful person. Not necessarily "fleeing" from an already overbearing regime.

If they are fleeing from another country why does it matter where they end up in our Country.  Where does it say they only need to stay where they stepped over the border?  If this government wants them here then they need to spread them throughout the Country evenly and Sanctuary cities should be the first drop off.

Then explain why you libs are all for letting them in, yet reject the idea they settle in your neighborhoods? Do you even know what the word "Hypocrisy" means?

Spanish TV Reporter Says Martha's Vineyard Residents Privately Admitted They 'Don't Want Migrants Here'

Speaking outside St. Andrew's church where the 50 migrants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) shipped up to the elite liberal vacation spot, Cristina Londoño Rooney of Telemundo said that residents refused to be interviewed on camera about their displeasure with the situation for fear of appearing "inhumane."

"A furious man passed by just a short time ago. He said that his children had to leave this island because there are no jobs or housing, and now they bring these migrants over, deceiving them with those promises," she said.

"There are also others who blame the Biden Administration, saying it's their fault, they don't want the migrants here. But they don't want to speak on-camera, either because they don't want to be depicted as inhumane."

Americans are the meekest in the world and look, we are inheriting the earth.

Thanks for America, God.

Remember, every illegal immigrant is a criminal and morally on the same level as any other criminal. They are automatically bad guys trying to hurt the good guys, Americans, for purely selfish reasons. Illegals have no sense of helping others, only helping themselves.

I bet on poo flinging. His "compassion" only seems to apply to those who are riding on buses to go to a different city. It does not seem to apply, nor does his news sources seem to give a damn about how conditions are in the actual border towns where due to the massive overcrowding basic needs for sanitation do not exist.

Hey midcan5, does your "compassion" apply to all the people who are drowning trying to cross the river because your president will not control the border?  Does your "compassion" apply to our kids here in the states who are overdosing on drugs being brought over by these illegal immigrants?

Yeah, this is his exit the conversation point. Facts bother libs because it doesn't align with their Utopian dreams.
An un achievable world.

Someone tell me when was the last time a shitload of "Meek" libs got together peacefully?

These people are stupid emotional idiots who riot and loot. What fuckin bubble does this idiot dwell in? :rolleyes:

Since they love them so bad, they can have them.

QuoteIt's not right to use these human beings in a political ping pong game. Every politician that endorsed this doesn't belong in office.

Every politician that used kids as pawns belong in jail.

:popcorn:
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

Who knew meekness was a requirement to break the law... :confused:
People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.
