Immigration and the Southern Border in the U.S.

[bonnie1962]

If the critics have two brain cells to rub together perhaps they can do something about the problems created by President Biden.

What is cruel, inhumane and heartless is the 

 female sex trafficking victims  illegally in the U.S "Human smuggling, drug traffickto hising etc

Of course according to Biden all is peace and tranquility at the border, not all can turn a blind eye to Bidens cruelty. There are not enough resources but that doesn't phase a liberal. Talk of compassion and that is all that is necessary. Polk County in Florida arrested over 200 people last week. Perhaps enough liberals can be found to take them in.

How many more hospitals will be in the same shape as a Arizona hospital on the brink of collapse after spending 20million dollars on illegal immigrants. Hopefully if any more go bellyup it will be in the backyard of the liberals wringing their hands so they are the ones without hospital care.

In reversal, Biden weighs detaining migrant families

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is considering detaining migrant families who cross into the U.S. illegally as it prepares to end COVID-19 restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to U.S. officials familiar with the plans. That would be a major reversal after officials in late 2021 stopped holding families in detention facilities.

The SDA way? Fill those pews at all costs to replace those leaving out the back door. As usual the problem is minimized by flippently using the word  migrant.

For every 10 people replenishing the SDA pews,how many young women and girls raped along the way, how many bodies found, small children floating down the river alone,how many of our schools are overrun ,how many hospitals stretched beyond capacity?

Catholic leader accuses Ron DeSantis — who has positioned himself as a defender of the Christian faith — and Florida Republicans of seeking to criminalize 'empathy' with new anti-immigrant crackdown

A proposal in Florida that would make it a felony to knowingly provide transportation to an undocumented immigrant is a "punitive" measure that would effectively make it illegal to be a good Christian, the Catholic archbishop of Miami said Thursday, accusing its promoters — including Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis — of seeking to criminalize "empathy."

I wonder if anyone heard the screams of the 53 illegal migrants that recently died in the back of tractor trailer? If you actually have any concern for the illegal migrants the families of the 53 might need concern more.

This has gotten downright silly and must be annoying and frustrating to others. I am not bored enough to participate any longer. Waiting for an avalanche of posts to follow mine, no matter how far back it has to go. With my lack of belief in or respect for at least 95% percent of politicians, republican and democrat alike and the media what a dumb way to spend my time. As you are almost the only one that shows an interest it should be easier for you.

I dont want to cause a issue for others that might be kept away with such behavior.
