Italy's new populist government turns away a rescue ship with 600 migrants from across Africa to dock in the Country.
At least migrants are setting foot on our homeland and being housed fed and clothed.
What a terrible terrible country the U.S.A. must be...................Geesh......

Refer back to the Immigration act of 1882 if you want to know how far the U.S. has come in terms of Immigration Reform.

Watch this video, and you will find that yes, Mexico has the technology to deal with a wall.

The ship was diverted to Spain...

What good is being housed, fed and clothed when you're forcibly separated from your children with no guarantee of ever seeing them again???? In some case, these parents are tricked into letting their kids go with the ICE agents believing that the kids are just getting a bath.

Our country is becoming such an embarrassment to the world and your argument is so lame - oh, at least we let them live/didn't torture them/turn them into slaves/etc. doesn't cut it! We are WAY better than that, or at least I thought we are until this shameless administration came along!

Asylum Procedures may take 4 to 5 years to finish the cases.
If application is denied two separate appeals may be filed adding
an additional 5 to 7 years.Some cases have been pending for 10-12
years while clients remained in the U.S. legally with families often with work permits.


The figure estimates are from ORR Office of Refuge Resettlement.
The figures are only estimates as refugees access welfare and other government assistance programs.
The cost per refugee to the American Taxpayer is $79,600 per year for the first 5 years after resettlement.
In 2016 $545 million spent on resettlement, $140,389,177 transportation costs, $867 billion spent on welfare alone'

Fact: 54% of all refugees will hold jobs paying less than $11 an hour for the first 5 years.
Fact: $71 million will be spent on educating refugees and asylum seekers,
Fact: Over 5 years 15.7% of all refugees will need housing assistance.
Fact: Costs do not include national security,law enforcement expenditures associated with refugees that pose a threat
vetting,screening,criminal justice costs,homeland security to states,and local agencies can not be quantified.

In Final:

The United States averages 100,000 immigrants per year. It cost money which the U.S. can not sustain over a prolonged period of time to
acclimate refugees to become productive members of society. It is sad to see people being turned away from our borders when the focus should be on those miserable countries which is forcing them to leave. The United States has always and will always help those in need but it will not cut off its nose to spite its face. There will come a time when Enough is Enough! People need to realize this. Would you be willing to give up your Social Security and Medicare, pay higher taxes on your home which you worked so hard and long to buy because the government needs more money to help those in need? It is an obligation to help those in need as our humanity dictates but one will only sacrifice up until it affects him/her. Then it stops. It's only human Nature.

Like the old saying goes Charity starts in the home first.

You are not seeing the real picture. Italy is in Economic Crisis. They cannot afford to help others.
Spain took the refugees. Thank Goodness.
This country is Great even if you choose to mock. It's a free country.
You have the right to express your opinion as well as I.
Our country takes in 100,000 refugee per year for the last 10 years.
How long can this go on?
In a prosperous economy ? Absolutely!
Last I heard we have been struggling to get back on our feet for almost 10 years.
If this trend continues without regulation our country economy will suffer far worse than current.
The money has got to come from somewhere.
It always comes from the taxpayer.
It will come out of your pocket in the form of higher taxes and higher priced goods.
Try to keep your emotions separate from the true financial burdens that is being created.
Try to see the real picture.
Please refer to the Immigration Act of 1882 to see how far our country has come compared to today in dealing with illegals.

Hilarious but pointless.

Another Message for Donald Trump from Former Mexican President Vicente Fox

Even in this comedy sketch, Former Mexican President Vincente Fox character thinks that America is the care giver of the world.
Instead of building a wall you can be supplying drinking water and end world hunger.....Ughhhhh Yeah ?
But what about your country? Mexico is considered a newly industrialized country,a regional power,an emerging market as
its presence in major economic groups such as the G8+ and the G-20 major economies. Why don't you use your own money instead
of mocking the U.S. to use theirs ? Some Hollywood Libertard probably put this funny but pointless video together.

Here is an idea. If you don't want to be separated from your children don't violate the law, don't put your children in danger and ask to enter before entering.
Children are separated from criminal parents every day, in every country. Did this policy even start with Trump?
Applying for asylum is not breaking the law, here you go read this:

Just when you think this administration has hit rock bottom they somehow manage to go even lower.
Throwing children in cages and separating them from their parents.
I thank the three branches of goverment every day for standing in the way of a dictatorship.
