1/2 the country is NOT willing to send ANY of THEIR money to illegals. But they are willing to send OTHER PEOPLE's MONEY to illegals. Which is why we need a small and highly limited government that doesn't take much of our money in the first place. Altruism is such a cancer.

THAT is why I suggested a Go Fund Me Page for the caravan camp at the border.

If the Dems really want to help these people then donate to the fund. That is far better than letting them into the country that they would like to do. I have no problem with someone giving their own money to the cause, I just don't want my tax money going to help people that are trying to bend and break our laws.



Go Fund Me. #Caravan Camp. or even better would be #Caravan Trump Town.

These migrants in the caravans are from undeveloped third world nations with poor standard of living & healthcare.


You do the math.
Nope. It’s good ‘ol fashioned fear-mongering and y’all know it.

What part of that was confusing for you? I’m assuming none of it, because you clearly understood what was being said, yet failed to address what I was saying.

But Democrats are more worried about illegal immigrants than American children. Do we really want to take a chance with children's lives Democrats.
Immigrants are not bringing in acute flaccid paralysis. It has more than one cause, and the viruses that are associated with some cases circulate in the wild in the US. Those viruses are common and usually just cause bad colds. No one knows why some kids are getting paralysis and some do not.

I do not like illegal immigration either, but this disease cannot be blamed on illegal aliens.

Then explain why DOS requires immigrants like my wife to complete medical check for communicable diseases and immunization shots before issuing out visas?

Now keep this in mind, the government has been doing this one way or another for a long time.

You probably should do a little research on Richard Lynn before you start using his fake data to make whatever point it is you had in mind. In conducting IQ tests in Africa he threw out all results with an IQ of higher than 75 claiming they were not representative of the population. https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/04/30/dumb-and-dumber-3/

For the same reasons that public schools do, obviously.

So every migrant in the caravan will be attending k12 school?
Including the adults?

I guess they will copy the 31 year old syrian refugee pretended to be 15 year old high schooler in Europe
