Um no. We listed like 10 countries where were getting asylum seekers from.

I can think of plenty of countries that are livable not in the United States or Europe.

Barbados, Trinidad, Japan, Australia, Panama, Brazil, Argentina, the Bahamas, Ghana, Senegal, Botswana, South Africa, Canada, Singapore, Gabon...

Who wudda thunk it.
Amigo, you seem to be forgetting about uncle Joe, same uncle Joe who routinely parrots Santa Greta and Santa Aoca and wants us to buy carbon offsets every time we fart, authorizing the destruction of a major gas pipeline which released tens of billions of cubic feet of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2, right into the atmosphere. If uncle Joe was OK with that I’m going to guess things aren’t as bad as the centered equitable thermal justice grift brigade wants us to believe and we are not going to spontaneously combust in five years.

I was in Panama last year. TONS of American retirees there. Lots of construction geared specifically toward them.

Not a source for this particular claim, but as a point of information Massachusetts led the nation in illegal immigrant growth from 07-2017. I'm sure Jessica Vaughan will be poo-poo'd by some of our resident Revolutionaries, but the numbers are impressive.

Which, if accurate, completely refutes Desantis and his fellow right wing politicos claims that "sanctuary states" wouldn't have the policies they have if they actually felt the impact of undocumented immigrants in their communties.

I meant thousands come to this country a day. Not necessarily Boston.

Let's see how you all feel about things in a few years.
