    You guys.......

    Accept "Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

    Seven profound words.
    Seven words that are an apogee of human compassion.

    My destitute great great grandfather arrived from Germany, seafaring to Indianola TX and settled in Anhault (Google it) in 1843 speaking not a word of English.

    Appreciate out national founding principle, lest your ancestors had been turned away.
    The difference is that those people came here to be AMERICANS and to work.
    Not come here and take what we have worked for and turn our Country into THEIR shithole country.

    Here
    Say again. In what country do you obtain medical care??

    The last case of US-aquired ebola was....um, let me think......um, never once.

    Hyperbole is an aquired skill.


    I don't know if it was the last US acquired case but there was a case on October 4, 1989. A research worker contracted Ebola from a monkey.

    A few years ago I was asked at 3 different doctor's offices if I had recently traveled overseas. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I told them that I had just got back from East Africa. I was joking. That was during an Ebola outbreak where it was brought to the US from East Africa. Luckily they were able to contain it and it did not spread.

    Are you really OK with people just walking across our southern border? If so maybe you could go to San Antonio and get a couple of them and let them live with you until they get on their feet.

    Everytime I go to the Dr I get asked the Ebola questions.

    Have you been out of the country. Been around anyone out of the country. Had a fever or cold flu like symptoms.


    These are a direct result of the guy in Dallas, from Africa, who had Ebola a few years back and gave it to several people and exposed dozens to Ebola. Displaced a whole apartment complex of people if I remember correctly.

    The point being if we were half as diligent with refugees it would be a good start.

    So it is a reading comprehension issue, as the answer to your question was in the article

    edit - the article isnt a primary source. Inference and context is a component of comprehesion, it negates the need to repeat yourself post hoc.

    I rsaid Id read the article. I've also read that Hillary is honest, all guns are evil, boys can be girls, and the earth is flat. Having read it, stating Id like to know the facts......

    The ability to obtain facts from a trusted source is preferable than putting faith in the truthfulness of media created for public consumption.

    Beyond this group, where is the concern for whether or not these hordes are inoculated or not. The media was all over the measles outbreak, they couldn't help themselves to debate the "vax or not to vax" our own children, but it seems like the most likely vector of many diseases gets a free pass.

    [QUOTE="birddog, post: 1910734, member:

    To suggest that adhering to the colonialist ideals of a newly formed nation of a different day and age, that has evolved into a country and society they would see as alien and incomprehensible, is ludicrous.

    This looks alot like the reason antis give for getting rid of AR's and 2A.[/QUOTE]


    Yep, if taken literally and out of context as you have, you could apply that statement to just about anytthing our founding fathers wrote. What does that have to do with immigration?

    The right to ibear arms is founded on a principle thats as relevant now as it was then.

    Illegally entering our nation, violating its laws, or the purpose of obtaining a higher standard of living at taxpayers expense, isnt a right.

    I don't think these would be part of any UN project. They came in illegally. They crawled across our border with Mexico. Those that were apprehended were tested. How many get across the border every day that we never catch? Build that wall and buy more bullets. Trump 2020.

    You guys are myopic.

    100 years ago, in 1919, the US accepted about 1,220,000 foreign immigrants.

    It is our national foundation. It is our fundamental principal for being.
    Acceptance of immigrants are why you and I are here benefiting by our liberties and constitutional rights.

    Get a grip on reality of who we are as a nation.

    Please review the plaque at our statue of liberty!!!

    If you are shamed and embarrassed, well, good. You should be.

    And I think most people don't have a problem with the meaning and application of the quoted promise. We do have a problem with illegal, unvetted immigration.

    I would like a new immigration policy sort like Trumps policy on new regulations.

    For every one LEGAL immigrant we check out and let in, we round up, RFID tag and deport 10 illegal ones.
    They should be told in whatever language they speak, that they are not welcome here and if caught here again, they will be put into a forced labor camp to build the wall as their punishment for breaking the law.

    What has always pissed me off about this illegal immigration situation is this. The media keeps telling us these people are coming to the US for safety and to start a new life. I am sure there were many places along their routes where they could have stopped and been safe and started over.
    They are coming to the US for the government hand outs and probably free living quarters.
    The Democrats don't care about them, they just want the media to portray them as the "we care" party.

    My wife's aunt is a dedicated Democrat. He husband was a Federal Judge before his death and he was legal adviser to JFK years ago. The whole family is die-hard democrats. A few years ago this aunt appeared before the Dallas City Council supporting the influx of illegals into Dallas. She lives alone in a large two story house. At a family function shortly after her televised city council speech, I asked her how many illegals she was going to house, since she had so much extra room. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said "I don't want any of them in MY house". Case closed on compassion. Lets be supportive, but not in my neighborhood!!
    I feel sorrow for all those people who legally came to this country to live. They obeyed all of the rules. They waited their turn to gain citizenship and finally they were sworn in. Nice guys always finish last.

    Those people in 1919 were from Europe and they were assimilated into the country. You are expecting people from a shithole to become good little westerners who respect the constitution and western civilization? Look at the voting percentages if you think your white guilt and kumbaya bullshit is going to make this country last.

    Talk about nerve-wracking...That time period was pretty much the only instance where I can remember being truly worried about being denied CONUS reentry (was getting over some random travel bug and coming from not too far from there; thought I was going to trip the thermal sensors CBP was supposedly running).
