Many do NOT do that. That's a cable TV canard. You remember the scary "migrant caravan" that the Trump Administration and Fox News pounded on relentlessly right before the midterms? Those people were marching to present themselves at the border and apply for refugee status. (And was anyone surprised that after the Republicans were slaughtered in the election the 24-hour migrant caravan coverage vanished?)

I have zero issues with any legitimate refugees who wish to apply for refugee status, if they enter legally and do things by the book. It is the others that I take issue with.

Ok 😑

I somehow knew it was going to degenerate to this, which is why I posted what I posted previously. Legal not legal, refugee not refugee...

1. We’ve all have bigger problems trying to fix the social and economic inequalities in all our countries. That’s a problem for us to fix and a problem CAUSED by the forces WITHIN each country, NOT by people seeking relief from physical danger or economic chaos (which in large part, when it comes to in North America, is caused by our own actions in South America - via coups, political meddling, drug wars etc...)
2. If you really think that refugees are causing the problems then you’ve swallowed a load of codswallop.

I am speechless.... just kidding,
1/ the US had the atom bomb. Not much left of Germany, I think.
2/ crazy synth man does indeed speak for himself.
3/ try to see the big picture. What do you see.?
4/ in Turkey, where I live, a man was arrested for putting newspapers on the floor of his wet bus. Why? The newspaper had pictures of the ruler. Do you live in fear?
5/ if we are angry we are hurt. If we blame others we are hurt. If we are self righteous we are hurt. If xenophobic we are frightened. If we feel entitled we are frightened. When things change we think there was something better. If things don’t change we long for something better.
6/ I am an American. We deserve what we are getting. It is the price of not paying attention and I am guilty.
7/ a poor man looked out his door. There was a horse. Good luck! The horse ran away. Bad luck! The horse returned with another. Good luck!! The man’s son hitched the two horses to a plow, He could not control them. He was pulled down and broke his arm. Bad luck!!! The army came the next day for able bodied young men. The son could not go. Good luck, bad luck... who knows?
8/ each of us has a primitive part of our brain called the amygdala.
9/ we are all one... so all that doesn’t add up to much.
10/ I wish my friends well.
