The liberals are the ones who talk about helping and feeding and clothing and sheltering everyone. They sure do like to take everyone's money under the guise of "helping those less fortunate", so how the hell is it okay with them that all of those people are living in the conditions that they live in? Tent cities that quickly become unsanitary, buildings that don't have adequate heat so that the refugees were cold in the winter, water dripping everywhere, improper plumbing, etc...and yet the liberals keep acting like this is a good thing.

A number of West Coast cities have similar problems, where lots of homeless people sleep in the streets, parks, underpasses, etc.

Natural result when the number of people who want to live in a place exceeds the supply of housing available to them.

Liberals are trying to throw money at the problem but the problem is too large to be solved with the insufficient money thrown at it; liberals do not have endless streams of cash to throw at state and local problems.

What is your solution?

No one is looking to flood the nation with people from any place, but there will always be a system of immigration.

FDR, once said, when it comes to Immigration, that we don't need too much of the right kind and we don't need to much of the wrong kind. (simply put, that would relate to our quota system being managed and supported as it relates to immigration to America)

The millions of people who entered the country outside of Congressional authorization - e.g. illegals plus those brought in through executive action - have enabled landlords to create a condition informally known as The Rent Is Too Damn High.

Which actually takes billions of dollars out of the pockets of Americans unable to buy a home.

once-romantic Paris covered in filth and rubbish as African migrants are forced to live in the streets

Sometimes Obama is weak... sometimes Obama is all powerful...

Hard to take you folks seriously when you flip flop so much on Obama.

Several hundred policemen took to the streets of France, from Paris to Bordeaux, for the fifth night in a row to complain about the unbearable working conditions and fatigue caused by an 11-month state of emergency, saying they’re stretched to the limit.

Policemen got together in front of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris singing La Marseillaise, the country’s national anthem, while applauding every police siren passing nearby. The officers complain that they are not even well enough equipped to defend themselves and are calling for Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve’s resignation, Le Parisien reported.

“We’re asked to do things that have nothing to do with police work, like guarding theaters and synagogues and churches. It’s becoming unbearable; we can’t do it all,” Nathalie, a 12-year veteran of the police force who asked that her last name not be disclosed, told CBC.

“If somebody dials 17 [France’s 911], there aren’t any cars around to respond. Misdemeanors, felonies... we don’t have time for that anymore,” another anonymous policeman said.

Oh, YOU bought the glib propaganda that he wasn't largely correct, I see.
You should try thinking for yourself...it isn't half as scary or hard as the propagandists claim! You can do it!

So you buy the propaganda that if you kill 100 people and 51 were guilty, murdering the other 49 is justified.

GOT IT!

I have no idea what you've got in mind. (But I do know that by the time you and I came along, it was "settled science" that McCarthy was evil. I believed it.....but THEN I started to learn all about propaganda!

Not coming to my neighborhood. Around 75% gun ownership here. We are a big basket of proud DEPLORABLES in this 'hood'.
Many will be sent to meet their 74 virgins if any of that crapola comes this way.
