Amigo, are you telling me NYC, SF and Portland shenanigans are not happening? Yes or no?

This is not helping anything. It is adding more fuel to fires for people.
It angers me - as a taxpayer I don't want to be on the hook for cradle to grave welfare of tens of millions of uneducated, unskilled, unemployable "asylum seekers.". We already have enough of our own bleeding us dry.

I had an Irish guy with a thick brogue behind the bar the other day, could barely understand him. Why wouldn't he learn to speak like an American. This is the USA! I wonder if he was legal? Lots of bartenders work under the table. /s

Good try. It's rare to see many people from Ireland around here these days because Ireland is a good place to live with a thriving economy. Irish also speak English. Again nice try.

it's mind boggling that people think it's ok. 'Oh how can I help?' is what all the bleeding hearts on social media try and showcase. Um let's see, you can let them move into your house, find them a job or pay them yourself. That's pretty much how you can help sis!

I would have told her "No, gracias" then shut the door.

I think you're inadvertently proving my point...which was made tongue-in-cheek in response to a certain other poster here.
