I do personally believe there is a sprinkling of lack of research, racism and generally poor formal education and maybe low intelligence levels. The last point I can't be sure of.
I vote that maybe both of you are racist, since you rush to assume the worst of others -- which is exactly what you're complaining other posters are doing regarding the asylum seekers.

I've always found that those most quick to pull out the "racist!" card are often pretty bigoted themselves.

Signed, a liberal immigrant.

Also, you are not supposed to pick and choose where you want to claim asylum you accept it from the first country you enter that offers it.

Even those coming here as refugees have to be a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are no wars or natural disasters going on south of our border.

Why are we suppose to be the doormat to the world's oppressed? We have enough problems of our own.

The liberals here talk a good game, as long as it doesn’t impact them. Just like my leftist neighbors, who defend illegal aliens as “decent people who just want a chance” while objecting to the house on the other side being rented out because “renters are a lower caliber.”
This is a lie.
a "swarm" of people are not coming in.
Try reading the article.

OP called it a "central american invasion" and deliberately misled the forum on what was actually happening.

Also this is supposed to be the "land of opportunity" where we welcome those are trying to escape bad situations in hopes of a safe new start.

Yet conservatives in this thread despise this very American ideal.

I'm not sure how I am in anyway bigoted, I want these people to have a chance at a better life, y'all on the other hand are afraid of them and don't want them here.

You're bigoted primarily against American taxpayers and citizens.

This is the truth.
If they are not going to issue them Notices to Appear, they are GONE, not that that helped anyway. NO ONE LOOKS FOR THEM. More people living in the shadows until they finagle an amnesty.
I'm actually happy I'll be dead (I hope) by the time the destruction of the US is complete.
