Oh my mistake. I struggle to keep track of all the duplicate threads. It was in the OP started by HumblePi on the same issue.
Yes, the mods don't seem to be able to delete duplicate threads. They're pretty efficient at deleting my posts though.
My grandfather was a german jew in Berlin. My grandmother was a roman catholic. My father was first order mischling so his father and siblings were "qualified" for transportation. My grandfather fled a week before Kristallnacht leaving the family behind to follow a few months later. The family was assisted by some of their non jewish friends, one of which was the chief of police of Potsdam to get outta dodge. I am a white Canadian agnostic atheist. I live in a country where even our conservative party is progressive.
Yep. I could apply for automatic german citizenship. Interestingly I also qualify for "aliyah" to Israel. And I could easily become a dual citizen of the UK which would (depending on the current crisis) also enable EU citizenship. But I'm more than happy to be a Canadian.
And I am disgusted at people who cannot understand why they “drag their children across deserts for a better life and to escape violence“ I am disgusted by people who think they do it for the “sympathy of Americans” . How nice it would have been if Americans Allowed Jews to seek asylum here..same arguments , different groups ..
yeah, would officially have been a mischling under the nazis. I qualify. I even considered it - free holiday and all, but I couldnt' bring myself to commit that fraud.
the facts disgust you which is sad for you. They could have applied for asylum at any consulate. she drugged her child across the desert to shove her in the front of a camera to try and get into the country for free that is something she should be ashamed of. minus the fact that there was a Holocaust in Germany and Austria. Lol
You are in denial if you don't believe cartels put a backpack full of drugs on an illegal and say good luck. They would obviously be well coached on a route with water caches along the way and a predetermined pickup spot. If you want to save lives build the wall.
Not sure how I flubbed this one important word but I'll remove it in this late edit. My only excuse is I'm reading a good book and am responding to post in here in between chapters. Great book! https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-War-L...8&qid=1545139392&sr=8-1&keywords=a+wicked+war "You are in denial if you believe cartels put a backpack full of drugs on an illegal and say good luck.

And I repeat my question: Why would it be an undesirable thing? In any case, they do have the right to apply for asylum. As does anybody from any country. It's impossible to have a reasonable discussion with somebody who doesn't understand these basic facts. Now, let's see if you answer mine.
Some are. So what? Are you proposing that we only allow refugees who are white?. Simplistic. What makes you think that "billions upon billions" want to come here? Now, answer my question: why shouldn't we allow poor refugees into our country?
So what? Not there is an irrelevant remark. Racism has diminished since the 18th century.... So? If what you meant to say was that racists have been, for the most part, kept more and more in the closet since the 60s, that's true. But Trump brought them out. First, there is no such thing as "race". There is only racism. Second.... is that supposed to be an excuse for racism?
How many immigrants have you taken into your home and how long have you provided for their food, shelter, and related expenses?
What the f... hell are you talking about? Did you even read the OP? What "innocents" am I blaming? Provide quote! What garbage! You didn't even read the OP! Why respond to a post you didn't even read? I'm sorry. But this paragraph distills ignorance. Where in the world did you get the idea that Mexico hasn't taken refugees? But they are an underdeveloped nation. They can only deal with so many. And yes... some of them are "chased" all the way from their country to the U.S. boarder. By "chase" I don't mean that somebody is running behind them. They don't have to. A simple phone call can get them killed. Sure. They can just walk from Guatemala to Chile... That answers my question: you don't know what country created the environment. I don't know.... maybe I'm the only one who stays away from discussing things I don't know enough (or anything) about. Because I wouldn't want to make a fool of myself. This doesn't appear to dissuade you, though.
It's not impossible. But, if they do, it would be rare. It's not what the boarder patrols are targeting and is not who the water is for. You have no rational arguments, and that's why you're now splitting hairs.
