Are we sending aid to Mexico for their earthquake recovery?

[whitehall]

What about the Clinton Foundation? They were a high profile presence in Haiti until it was revealed that they were stealing more than they were contributing. For some reason the Clinton foreign outreach stopped when Hillary lost the election. President Trump donated a million dollars of his own money to the Texas relief fund. How about Barry Hussein donating a million to his constituents in Mexico?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

no - i understand all sides. i do. it's hard to put past problems behind us but look around - we're all carrying past problems we have with almost everyone right now.

when does it end? i agree we have a problem to fix but a lot of people who just live there are hurting right now who have zero responsibility for the government.

i don't blame people for feeling the way they do. i just don't feel that way myself.

btw - born and raised in austin and lived in texas most all my life.

I guess I can look at it like this....
At least we wouldnt be helping the ones who flaunt our immigration laws.

But then I kinda look at mexicans the same way I look at muslims and ghetto blacks....you dont see them out there denouncing the illegal acts of their countrymen/race.

You really need to stop and think about whats going to happen when we are the minority...unless of course you're hispanic.

You need a break dude. You take this shit too far.
Is my black neighbor responsible for the violence in downtown KC? Are my amazing Muslim customers responsible for ISIS? Is my deceased ex fiance who happens to be a Mexican responsible for illegal immigrants?
The only thing all three of them have in common is they are AMERICANS. But wait....I am an American too! So am I responsible for violence downtown? ISIS? Illegals?

Take a step back and THINK

I was engaged to a Mexican and her family was extremely nice.
In fact I had the utmost respect for her father who served in the US Navy and was a hell of a guy so it's really not so much about being a mexican...but about being anti American,which mexico as a country has shown in spades.

There are 60+ children missing in a collapsed building. I'm pretty sure they're not anti American and even if they are they are children for ***** sake. You need to put your humanity before your politics in times of dire human tragedy my friend.

we can go back to beating the shit out of each other and getting our hate on later. for now, help people who only want the same thing any of us would want if we were there instead.

help.

Yup.

If I was on fire I wouldn't ask for a political registration card before a fire hose lol

This thread isn't political. I probably shouldn't have put it in politics. Having said that it is exposing some real asshats as a result.

EVERYONE on this forum knows I despise illegals. Want them all deported. But that doesn't strip me of my humanity.

hit up his twitter and ask him to. bitching about it in here won't do much.

 

[tycho1572]

With all the damage we're dealing with? I sure hope not.

No comparison.

Really, you cannot hold the damage in Texass and Florida up to Mexico, Caribbean, Cuba, Puerto Rico. (Yes, I know parts are US but pino trump will shit on them.)

Our focus should always be on Americans first.
I wouldn't want my tax $ going towards helping others countries before helping our own.

tycho1572

Did someone suggest that? I missed it.

Please post a link.

Suggest what? I was responding to a question.

tycho1572

Nope.

Here's the post you replied to:

Not a question in sight.

In any event, no one, to my knowledge, has said we should let the needs of the US slide in favor of helping other countries. If you have a link that proves otherwise, feel free to post it.

I'll look at your links when at work. I'm currently enjoying a few brews while relaxing.

 

[pismoe]

i used to see those fake mexican nurses dressed in white walking around in big 'california' cities many ears in the past . I suppose that there is any army of them these last few days with their hands and spare change cans outstretched .

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I understand where you're coming from but I have a problem with helping a country that has been invading the US for the last thirty years and basically telling us to **** off while they did it.

Maybe you dont live in a border state and just dont understand the damage they've done to our country but I do.

Mexico is not a good neighbor,they instruct their citizens on the best way to cross the border illegally and how to game our system.

I'm sorry but I have zero sympathy for a country ran by the drug cartels.

no - i understand all sides. i do. it's hard to put past problems behind us but look around - we're all carrying past problems we have with almost everyone right now.

I'd be perfectly willing to send in rescue teams to find trapped children as they are blameless.
If they happened to come across some adults I guess they can save them as well since they're down there.

How horrible! We must help. It's for the children. Pick up a few dozen men hanging out at Home Depot, put them on a bus to Mexico City and have them dig out these children.

We need to send what we can afford.
Illegals and Democrats.

You know they keep sending all their unwanted trash here it might be wiser to go there and let them have here instead...

Better weather and less liberals...

I do have sympathy for the blameless like the children.

and to no one in particular , many on the board despise illegal aliens until some government crew of big shots say that the illegals should magically be made 'Legal ' . Just a comment to no one in particular .

I would go if able, would you?

I would not help someone bleeding to death in the street if I had the last band aid in the entire world. I would dig out a collapsed animal shelter with my teeth if I had to.

The entire schtick of Mexico is their "hard workers". Now they can put up or shut up. Go home dig out the children and stop sucking off the American teat.

Watch, just watch. We are going to be up to our armpits in "earthquake refugees". Rather than stay and help their own people they are going to run to welfare USA and bleat "take care of me". Mexicans all over the US should be packing up to help Mexico with search, rescue, rebuilding. Why aren't they? They don't give a ****. But you think I should give a ****. Nope.

The **** it's not!
I wont tell my own experience with illegal immigration because I've put it out here too many times already and I'm sick of repeating myself.
I was smart enough to see what was coming and avoided what happened to my line of work.
Unfortunately I couldnt convince more of my coworkers as to what was coming and they're still working.
