Don't like the weather in another country? Bernie Sanders is looking into expanding the asylum categories to include "climate refugees"

Bernie Sanders is looking into expanding the asylum categories to include asylum based on climate.

Bernie Sanders said "Yeah, that is something we have to look at" when the suggestion was made to allow climate as an excuse to seek asylum.

More right wing hysterics.

What Bernie said in an off the cuff reply:

"Yeah, I think that [a climate refugee category] is absolutely something that we have to look at and I think I would be positively disposed to that, but it has to exist all over the world. What she raised - I mean, it's not just people in Latin America who would gravitate to the United States.

“It is people all over the world, and you know, it means that we have to deal with the crises in these countries right now so that people can possibly stay there and we have to welcome people all over the world."


So Bernie wants this to be a global concern, not just ours.

Bernie also wants us to help the countries experiencing the most impact from the crisis to help themselves, so that people can stay in their own countries. I'm cool with that.

If all else fails, we can ship them to Nebraska which has plenty of room and Nebraska farmers can use them to help with growing the corn and killing the pigs.

The left lives by narratives that they make up in their head. Then they create an echo chamber where these made up ideas are tossed around as fact. Then they create newer, even more flawed ideas based on the made up narratives they created. They push the narrative making to the extreme, until even their own base can no longer hold their nose and support it.

I think sensible democrats (if there are any left) are at the breaking point. When you've got dingbats like Bernie and AOC frantically running around and telling people how they should live, how businesses should operate, etc, anyone with a brain can see it's time for a new direction away from the crazy control freaks.

By what authority does Bernie or anyone else using taxpayer money, look into the climate of another country?

They need to import more democrat voters, so by any means necessary, regardless of authority.

Aaah.. the Humanity of the Right wing.
They love fetuses, but dont give f@*k about poor people in other countries... or the new born baby.

If it costs tax money.. they are automatically against it.



It all goes to our humanity.. you help your neighbors when their house is burning.
That way you dont have to house them when their house has burned down.

Well yeah considering the fact that we are over 20 trillion in debt. It's incredibly stupid to take on more burden when you can't even afford to pay your own debt or take care of your own citizens.


We shouldn't even be considering talking on refugees when we have over 600,000 American citizens who are homeless.

Is Bernie really that dumb? Or is he simply performing for his followers-who he knows actually are?

Do a though experiment.... in 50 years there will be 3 Billion Africans and 5 Billion Asians.

What are they going to do if it gets so hot and dry, that they can't grow enough crops to sustain themselves or enough water?

And this will happen all over the world.. places where it usually where grown crops will be to dry, to wet to hot...
It will most likely affect world food production.


Are your grandchildren gonna send ship after ship with food and water to the most affected areas?

Do you think they are going to accept that their grandparents knew this was going to happen and they did nothing!

Or are they going to allow hundreds and hundreds of millions of Africans, South Americans and Asians to immigrate to America and Europe, to live closer to a temperate climate?

Or let them die?
