....you can't have both and survive as a nation.

Let's look at the latest crisis on our southern border and ask, "what do the libs eventually want ?" The answer is BOTH.

They want anyone showing up at the border with a kid in tow to be admitted under "catch and release". They know these people will disappear into the US and only be found by ICE hunting them down after they fail to show for their deportation hearings. So their first objective is met...check.....we will have essentially open borders. Feelz beats the rule of law....a great lib victory.

I saw libs talking about the detention facilities these people might be held in. WTF. They are being given a life style that is much better than what they had in the countries from "where they have to flee". They have a better life style in these "humane" detention centers than many very poor Americans enjoy. This includes, food, medical care, recreation and air conditioned quarters. All FREE FOR NUTHIN'.

And, of course, if they come to live here, they will have access to all that and more on the tab of the US government (which BTW means TAXPAYERS) indefinitely. Geez, one board lib is even floating the idea of "Universal Basic Income".....do you think our new guests wouldn't be included in that kind of give away program? That would be "inhumane" (and RACIST) to exclude them. The libs' second objective will be complete....check.

Did we not learn a f'n thing by watching the European libs (eg, Merkel and the Germans) use feelz over common sense when they opened their borders up to the "refugees" from the war torn lands controlled by the "religion of peace"? Do libs have deep rooted suicide wishes in this regard that they can't stop acting on? What makes them think that America will be able to push ahead with this idiocy without the same chaos and destruction to our society that the Europeans are experiencing?

If we open this loophole, if we allow these people a free pass for entry into our country in the name of compassion and a trumped up humanitarian crisis, we are advertising to the rest of the people in Central America.....come join the party....laws, schmalls, just bring a kids (preferably crying hysterically) and the American taxpayer will take care of you for life.
