"These People" aren't some brave explorers looking to work the land for a better life. They protested being moved out of nice hotel to a relocation Center with all of the services they need. One that was still many times a "better life" than they had.

It's a good thing they weren't born in the earlier time...they wouldn't have survived.

But if they really want to open up a new frontier...Canada is perfect. It's got a lot of land available

Well, I guess we could do what Mexico does and just kindly "escort" the "migrants" right on across our northern border. Sheesh, someone should have come up with this plan years and years ago. Let Big T the Dimwit roll out the red carpet in Canada.

Not to mention the real estate that is available in most western industrialized countries is so expensive as to totally price out the middle class. There's also the rise of these low status males giving up on women entirely just go on YouTube and look at some of the channels. It doesn't seem to me like this little experiment in breaking the family unit apart and concentrating wealth so much is going to end well. Definitely a proper positive mindset is important during these times where we have too much choice.

Maybe we should locate them to Bernie Sanders Burlington VT instead of NYC for a shorter easy walk.

Have any specific examples you would care to share?

I'm concerned about it in the macro sense of the word IE trend. I acknowledge that people have the individual right to date whomever they please but it seems

1) Low status males think they have a shot at high status females then give up when that does not work out.

2) Many females are happy being part of a harem of a higher status male. I hear it in several of my daughters HS friends as I play taxi.

It worries me as a trend.

They'll live through 2 or 3 Eastern Canadian winters at most before heading back down south.

I lived in Laos which is a third world country with a similar climate to Central America. People in these type of places think we all just sit around and have servants harvest money off of our money trees. Over there if you are rich you do have servants. You wouldn't even think of doing anything for yourself. They think that the average person over here is rich like that.

When they would see me do work they were almost amazed that I could do anything like that. Many times it was the first time they had ever seen something built the right way, which made me laugh. While they are poor and lived in bamboo huts they had some of the easiest liv3s I have ever seen. Make rice once a year feed some chickens and go fishing. Nobody ever really went hungry because they would all pool their resources together.

So when they arrive in a place like NYC and find out you are still dirt poor and now it takes much more to live, it must be a shock. I would rather be at home living in a bamboo hut eating my traditional peasant food than facing being kicked out of a hotel I can't pay for myself and moved into a shelter in the winter.

Not to mention the cartel is probably taking a percentage of anything they potentially make. On the topic, I highly doubt Canada is dumb enough to be openly mocked by a bunch of illegals with fallacious asylum claims. Strong social welfare policies don't mix well with open borders.

They will have to go back to Central or South America.
