Also that Yahoo link above was to a story where the reporter just didn't seem to know what they were talking about. Joe Biden had it easy on his first foreign trip. Kamala got sent down to a hornet's nest. So Joe should have been nicer to Kamala but he wasn't so that's a disaster?

The leaders of Central America and Mexico are little more than well placed thugs connected at the hip with one or more of the various drug cartels and criminal gangs that overwhelm these countries. Kamala was blunt and actually told these leaders that they are corrupt - which they most certainly are.


How is my statement about generalization differ from yours about Central America leaders?
When it comes to Central American leaders, we are talking about less than a 100 people. It's easy to check on them all and get a pretty good idea of what they are up to - which is nothing good. But you are making generalizations about ALL the people of Mexico, Guatemala, etc. - that is millions and millions of human beings that you want to write off as "filth" just because you are too lazy to actually look at what's happening down there. Have you ever spent any time in Central or South America or even Mexico? I have. And the people I met and some who I even called "friend" were certainly NOT filth - just human beings doing the best they could - often under dire circumstances.

You know that walls can be used to keep people IN as well as out, right?

Interesting…..

Study finds high rates of prison, jail for illegals


Nearly 3 percent of illegal immigrants in Arizona end up in state prison or jail during the course of a year four times the rate of U.S. citizens and legal residents, according to a study that uses federal reimbursements for prisons and jails to try to calculate one of the most important yet elusive statistics in the immigration debate.

She's a B lister (or worse) on a team that doesn't have an A lister.

Or in sports terms, the team is all benchwarmers.

The only viable claim for asylum is persecution for one's religious, sexual, political beliefs. Wanting to "escape that filth" is not a viable asylum claim. 80% of asylum seekers are making bogus claims, statistically.

Walls are ineffective? If so, then why do we have them around our homes and businesses? The good walls on the border have been 90% effective in deterring illegal entry where they are built! Someone in here needs to educate themselves. Or maybe they know walls are a deterrant but they want the flow of illegals and asylum seekers to continue? We've been pouring money into these countries for years and nothing changes. They need to clean up their own acts. It's up to their own governments to fix their own damned countries. We aren't their parents and they aren't our kids. We have enough problems of our own to address.

Who said every single person from south of our border is evil? The fact is those who jump our border illegally or making bogus asylum claims have questionable character. It's shows disrespect and dishonesty.

Who's hating everybody? Why the spin and lies?

Liberals are blaming Kamala’s disastrous Central American trip on Racism and Sexism


Wouldn't it be simpler to just list all the things that liberals DON'T blame on racism or sexism?

Certainly the thread would be a lot shorter.

Another new poster said precisely this the other day... How many profiles did you create?

Maybe she will take that trip to Europe now.
Even in Europe, the ‘reporters’ would probably ask the same question that the black Lester Holt and the Hispanic Woman asked Kamala …. “ When are you going to the Border?”

She still won’t have a prepared answer to that simple question. She is incompetent.
ZERO to do with Racism or Sexism.

Name calling is all that the Trumpers have left. Trump`s loss has left them babbling like children.

Just because she says they are "not welcome" does not mean that they won't be "accepted" into the country.
