I think that my favorite part of the Bible is where Jesus puts razor wire in the river to keep people from entering his country.
this will be massively downvoted.
not allowed to recognize things like this happening.

That’s not why posts like this get downvoted. It’s instead because these posts are complaints about things that republicans are most responsible for. It’s silly.
That, and people generally don’t agree with conservative politics.
why don’t you explain to me how republicans are responsible for thousands of hispanics pouring over our border?
Republicans have supported the systematic destabilization of Latin America. They’ve supported the drug war, coups, etc. Democrats share a lot of the blame for this, but nowhere near as much as the republicans.
And the second half is that any time there is an attempt at immigration reform, republicans kill it, therefore killing any resolution to the problem. You can’t moderate something you don’t control. On this part, republicans share nearly 100% of the fault.
Cartels, drug trafficers, and criminals will always attempt to cross the border no matter what because of the lucrative opportunities, and the disregard for the law. And the people trying to escape Latin America for their own safety will always attempt to cross because their countries have been destabilized. “Just secure the border” will not solve the root problem, because the issue is way more complicated than that. That’s all republicans ever want to do, throw money at border security while ignoring the actual cause.
Got that right. 9 downvotes and no comments. Not even pizzacake came to tell us we’re wrong.
Not my name. And I don’t bother posting on things that are silly.
Or would you prefer me to say “this is silly” on every other post you make?
