So if socialism is so great, and capitalism so bad.....


Why do thousands of immigrants and refugees want to come to America when Venezuela is right in their neck of the woods?

In Venezuela, a man is sneaking through an alley looking for a pigeon or a cat to kill in order to feed his family.

In the United States of America, we have Dr Pol saving the lives of pet rats, pigeons and cats daily.

See the difference?

What you have to also understand is these people are being underwritten and financed to come HERE by Soros-paid groups. The leftwing journalists from CNN that accompany the caravans all see the large trucks accompanying these 'migrants'. One for food, one for medical care, one for bathroom needs. But their cameramen never show them. Why not? It would destroy the narrative by showing what is really going on. Soros isn't paying them to trek to Mexico or Honduras. There wouldn't be any political value in that.

Well done!
I remember my friend riding the subway with a Black Sabbath Album way back in the days.
A Hasidim man approached him and asked about its contents. He told him that it contained
beautiful songs that he might relate to. He set out to purchase the album. I could only imagine
the horror when the sounds came through that speaker.

Not everything is at it appears.
Not everything you are told is the truth.

Oh I most definitely see the difference between capitalist America and socialist Venezuela.......

But I'm not the one you have to ask that question to......

I will give you a hint.
It has 0 to do with what economic system is in place.
It has every thing to do with the war torn or corrupt country they are leaving and the closest country will do.
I already pointed out that millions of refugees have traveled a 1,000+ miles through multiple countries, but you had some other inaccuracies too.

#1 France isn't truly socialist. They have a capitalist free market economy with a larger social safety net. Although France's overall economic freedom is below ours - the freedom of their businesses are on par with ours.

#2 North Koreans are sneaking into China because it is on a peninsula and the border with South Korea is more heavily guarded. Oh and China is a lot better than North Korea in just about every way.

Well, here, at least for now, there is socialism without totalitarianism. And illegals get special treatment instead of jail. Or at least that's how it has been. This brings to mind the news footage of pregnant women in the caravans smiling and patting their pregnant bellies. Their ticket to free stuff, or so they thought. Including citizenship since they thought their bambino was going to be a citizen.


In Venezuela they could look forward to birth in a detainment camp. Here the whole family could stay and play. At least by Pelosi rules.

Who do you think provides food and medical help to this large band of phony migrants? The tooth fairy? Somebody is underwriting the large food and medical trucks that have to accompany these people.

Think through your leftwing talking points.
