U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents had to use tear gas and pepper spray early Saturday to stop nearly 50 “undocumented individuals” from illegally entering the U.S. after they stormed a port of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said.
If we could process them faster that might not happen. About twelve percent are being granted asylum according to some guy on NPR, but not many are getting through the system. No doubt the laws need updating, but I’m not going to sit here and act like I know enough about them to offer a considered opinion.
That’s just a fact. Like the rape victim who was wearing a sexy outfit. You can NOT, absolutely cannot, blame her for the rape, you can only blame the rapist. But that doesn’t remove the possibility that he might have chosen a different victim if she were wearing a loose fitting sweat suit.
Don’t read between my lines, I don’t put stuff there.
If the USA can’t fix the USA, how will it fix Honduras. Throw money to it’s corrupt leaders.? You really think that will fix Honduras? Venezuela? Somalia?
You can’t fix other countries. That’s called colonialism, or sometimes regime change, and has fallen out of favour. Other countries have to fix themselves.
The best thing the USA can do is set an example of equal justice under the law, government of the people for the people by the people via adherence to a constitution written for the people and by the people, so that other countries would willingly embrace a similar constitution. 1776 world-wide.
The highest authority in the land is the Constitution. If the people allow Congress or a President or the judiciary to act against the constitution to impose their particular Utopia on everyone, it will become might is right, and freedom dies.
The financial aid was helping. That is what I said and not a word about fixing countries and in fact agreed that we can’t fix them. Aid is not colonialism.
Should be common sense shouldn’t it? This year 2.5 million American children are homeless and 8% increase from last year. The answer from the left. Bring in more people that many will share the streets with them and siphon more tax payer funds that should go to the American poor and while we’re at it let’s give them free healthcare.
