We need to get rid of them, period ! Doesn't matter where they come from or what race they are. They should not be here exhausting resources and being taken care of by the American taxpayers.

Weird how they're supposed to be an asset to country and such hard workers but can't build up their own homes.

it like asking congress to pass a law on term limits. the ones in charge are the corrupt
But this is why we have the 2A though.


Citizens could exercise the 2A anytime they liked, it wouldnt take much to frighten our leaders into ending the corruption, but the threat of physical harm/violence is the only thing that will effect this kind of change, simply voting for the other party will not accomplish squat.

As usual folks like you greatly overestimate how prevalent your opinion is among your fellow citizens.
No, I don't overestimate. I am very aware that the country has a ridiculous amount of imbeciles who let everyone else think for them, especially the liberal media.

Totally agree ! Some people forget that these so called leaders work for them and are paid with THEIR hard earned tax dollars.

They sneak past borders that aren't open, as they have been for decades through various administrations.

If there are speed limits, how are these cars passing me if I drive 65 in a 65 zone?
Why are CBP officers arresting people trying to sneak across a border if it's open?

So are they being turned away at the borders or being bussed and/or flown deeper into the country ? You gain absolutely nothing kissing up to people who wouldn't spit on you if you were in fire.

Ahh so the people who agree with you must be smart, and those that don't must be dumb. You sound like a profoundly deep thinker.

Good question. The CBP will do as they always have: processes them to determine whether they have a credible asylum case or have other reasons to be allowed to be in the country, otherwise they are deported back to their home countries. They have actually continued to take advantage of Title 42, according to CBP data over the course of 2021, Border Patrol agents carried out 1,111,609 expulsions under Title 42.

Yes, this would be the same border that people in this thread are claiming is open. It would be amusing to see a conversion between some in this thread saying the borders are open and someone from Honduras who was caught in the desert, arrested, processed, and deported.

Then maybe you should lobby Home Depot to take down their Spanish language signs so they don't attract so many Spanish speakers.

How much longer will people put up with this nonsense ? This has got to stop. It seems that everyone is putting all of their faith into politicians who couldn't care less about them instead of taking matters into their own hands.
This is excellent....and my gut reaction is to scratch my head, puzzled that I've never seen a post from you before.

Nobody's pushing divisiveness on me or on anyone I know.

Lately it's been teenagers who have been terrorizing citizens. The people ruining the country are the ones robbing the federal budget to repeatedly give tax breaks to people who don't need them.

For some, QOL goes down, for others, it goes up. Restoring opportunities for upward mobility via affordable higher education would do a lot to raise the QOL averages.
