You.You said the "gravy train" needed to be fixed. I thought you meant the welfare system that immigrants supposedly "suck on" their whole lives. The thing is, they aren't allowed to, at least not if they're legally here . And I had clients ten years ago that had their Medicaid and food stamps and TANF cancelled because they hadn't come up with a birth certificate for DHHS, and at least in Maine, they weren't giving benefits to anyone who couldn't prove they were a citizen. So explain how this system needs to be fixed.One of my students arrived here from Ireland and she was not eligible for ANY benefits, and she and her husband were living in a goddamned tent. No lie. She couldn't get food stamps, nothing.
What part of that needs to be fixed?
What do you mean?
I'm not sure exactly. But the wall-cowards keep claiming that Mexican immigrants are coming here for the freebies. If that's really their beef, we can address that without indulging fascist wet dreams.
Of course, when I point this out they simply move on to another, equally worthless, excuse for building the wall.
What / who are these “Wall-Cowards” you speak of?
(neat catch phrase)
The wall Reagan told Gorbachev to tear down divided one country, one city, and one people. Mexicans say that the border divides one country also. That country is Mexico. Do you agree that a wall on the border would divide one country and one people?They have a lot of stupid arguments, granted, but I see no problem with a physical barrier in areas where there are a lot of people jumping the border. It seems "mean" to the border agents to make them chase these people to ground after they walk across the line, instead of having a fence that keeps them where they belong to begin with.You said the "gravy train" needed to be fixed.

Fix that, and there's no need to tilt fascist.

A wall or fence in strategic areas is a good idea, PART of a strategy for stronger border security.
I have to admit, my first knee jerk reaction to the Wall was --I kid you not--hearing Reagan saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
You already got it - recognition.Got to be one of the stupidest comments / questions posted on USMB..."Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-- or not?
Awesome! Do I get some kind of award or something?

I say build the wall, keep the statue, and deport liberals. That's the ultimate solution."Give me your tired, your poor,

Not to worry, liberals will get around to that one eventually.
What is your answer?
What you really mean is you didn't like my answer...my bad.
I was just curious if you were going to answer the poll. Are you skeered? There's no Mexicans hiding behind it. It's safe. I promise.

If you don't, stop saying silly things.
If you had unwanted, uninvited trespassers pitching tents in your backyard and telling you to go fuck yourself when you ask them to to leave...what would you do about it...how would you mitigate the issue?
According to 'The Book Of Chuck/Nancy', you feed them, give them clothes, build them shelter if not invite them inside to live with them OR if you decide not to move out and just give them your house, pay for their medical care, turn the other cheek when they assault/rape/murder one of your family members, don't be surprised when they invite more of their friends/family to come into your back yard, and especially don't be mad when the local mayor / governor declares your backyard to be a 'Sanctuary backyard'. And of course, realize that if you refuse to do these things and instead call the cops or grab your shotgun and escort them off your property then YOU are a RACIST and are Un-American.I’m curious, give it to us straight...don’t be scared.

Shoot them? On the other hand, if I'd invited them and I was OK with it, it's really none of your fucking business.

I would ask them to leave, and give them the opportunity to do so. If they did not leave I would call the police, and have them physically removed. If it continued to happen I would take further measures to secure my property.
When they're parking on your front lawn, pissing on your shrubbery it is none of our business. If it degrades property values in the neighborhood it is our fucking business...dumbass.

Kind of a no-brainer...right?
We’d all build a barrier to deter the filthy pieces of shits...right?

Nope. No one has a right to "property values".
