Why do these 'refugees apparently require so much help to adapt to their new homeland? People have been migrating for a millennia without having their hands held and being given the red carpet treatment. It feels like people are just having their noses rubbed into this garbage.

Saying you are fine with someone making a life in your country is not the equivalent of saying you are ok with someone living in your home.

Every day you people come up with something even stupider than the day before. There are hundreds of millions of people on this planet - maybe even billions - with whom I'm perfectly happy to share a country, but that doesn't mean I want them living in my house. Hell, I can even tolerate living in the same country as some of you conservatives, but I'd cut my throat with a butter knife before I'd let a single one of you slither through my door.

I actually feel bad for these people. They're just trying to cope with the conflict between saying the right thing and self-preservation. Many of them have been put in a horrible position by their government.

In the San Francisco Bay area, Sausalito to be exact there are people known as anchor-outs. They live on abandoned boats just off shore of one the most expensive and liberal parts of America. They come to shore and use the restrooms in the local park and dump their trash in the dumpsters there. The residents and the city have tried for years to root these people out and throw them out of their homes. In some cases they have succeeded to do so. Clearly liberals say they want to help people but only if those people are far from where they live. They certainly do not want to see them every time they look out their windows of their palatial estates and see these watercraft's floating out in the bay. And they are not offering these people to move into their homes to live.

If they come to the country and use their social services, take a job away from a citizen or worse take a check for breathing, burden their schools to educate them in their native language rather than learning the host language, and add insult to injury by terrorizing the women of said country - you're right, it isn't the equivalent, it's far worse.


At least if I invited someone into my home I could kick them out if they acted like arses.

I can't blame them for wanting the bums as far away as possible.

However, if these are hypocrites who turn around and virtue signal, want open borders, and want the messes they create to be some other person's problem - they can bite me! I hope those anchor-outs drop-in on their lawns.

Are you serious? What grade are you in?

You may want to holster that "stupider" gig when you follow it up with such an idiotic statement.






BTW, I'm perfectly happy to share a country with them as well. Theirs!

Except the point of the video was should people take migrants into their homes. They were all for it until they were put on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in Italy just a couple of years ago, this older man was forced under threat of police action to house migrants at his modest inn. His home, his business.

Odds are you will get a couple of men 18 - 34. Enjoy.
