    They should get the guy who sings Old Town Road.  He’s got a cowboy hat, so he’s  ‘Murican. 

    Yeah but he's gay and black, so . . .

    What are you intending to say with that? There were 39 people murdered in 2016, 1 committed by someone experiencing homeless (and his "homelessness" was being a runaway from Foster Care) There are also constantly dozens of people who are homeless in west campus and nobody is being murdered. Saying shit like that perpetuates hate, and devalues people. A homeless person is more likely to be murdered, assaulted, robbed, raped than to commit any of those things.

    Are there crimes associated with homelessness? SURE! things like criminal trespass (because they have no where to go for shelter), Possession of Controlled Substances (because addiction is often a symptom of homelessness), theft (because being starved, dehydrated, sleep deprived, addicted, or struggling with mental health issues), public indecency (because there are no bathrooms available to someone "like you" even though any of us could just pop into any business we want and you hell gotta shit and piss somewhere), and up until just now laying down anywhere outside

    Honestly there are legitimate concerns to have, that don't have easy answers (it's all complicated and messy as anything involving people is), but there is no need to pull out bullshit like that

    Violent crime is probably one of the last things you should be concerned about when it comes to the homeless population. Like you said, the homeless are more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than perpetrators.

    Sad to hear; I enjoyed watching his success.

     

    That all being said; is kidney failure typically a result of being overweight?  

     

    It's a result of high blood pressure. Not sure if that's what caused his kidneys to fail, but it's a strong possibility.

    Actually I will wait to see who the dems nominate.
    Last time was the lesser of 2 evils.
    Dems just take the minority vote for granted.
    Not all minorities think everything trump does is evil and anything red white and blue is racist. Lots of us love america , are patriotic, dont think we should help everyone and still think we are the greatest country on earth. We are proud americans, stand for and sing the star spangled banner and work for what you have. Not all of us want to just give free shit like college and healthcare to all. College loan forgiveness? Really? Its a good idea but who will pay? The working class will, just ask bernie.
    Keep pumping that poor minority and let everyone in crap and watch us “browns” as you call us vote rep. again.
     

    This is bullshit. You chose the more evil, by a lot.

    Also, you are a bad American and a shitty person because you voted for Donald Trump.

    We’re already at full blown authoritarianism. 

    The concentration camps and tanks out front...

    Not to mention all the other crimes with no accountability. 

    That's on the Republican Party.

    I'm saying the government is overwhelmed with people wanting asylum.    Half won't get it if you look at the historical numbers back through 2000. 

    The extremely generous American system is spending billions and billions of dollars to provide for these humans. 

    In addition, they must be vetted for disease, processed for their asylum claims or otherwise, to determine who gets $75K in benefits on average per person who successfully navigates the asylum process and who does not qualify for that extremely generous freedom freebie pack of goodies.  There is a yuge backlog.

    Where on the UN resolution does it say the US has to pay $75K per immigrant in benefits? (over the first 5 years per immigrant if they qualify for asylum)  

    I'd be ok, but I don't run the show, to let them in if they agree not to use any government programs.  IMHO we can't afford unlimited $75K sucks on the system.  There should be a limited number and the rest have to wait. 

    300 million is plenty of people in the 50 states.  We don't want to turn our country into the even more overcrowded slum filled places that  many of these peope come from.  It is getting bad enough as it is if you look at the pictures from many of the big cities on the West coast. 

    Listen to the shithead from CNN in the video above.  He is horrible in general but has some decent points on the immigration debate.

    Because this administration's policies are a complete failure. Donald Trump's rhetoric and his refusal to address the political upheaval in central America has only encouraged more people to come and seek asylum. 

    He created this problem and his incompetence is exacerbating it.

    People like you encourage it.

    It's disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    which is more cruel:

    crowded facilities that have running water, free food, free electricity providing climate control, free silver blankets, free medical care

    or

    Half of the asylum cases historically since 2000 have to go back anyway.  why not reduce the numbers to the levels of capacity as discussed just previously, no overcrowding.  give the rest a number and let them get their own lodging, food, toothbrush, etc, back across the border till their number is called in the order it was received.  They could fire up TEX again and have him direct them through the process whereby they call to check on their availability of seats/beds in the facilities and they wait till they get their turn.

    TEX:  "goodbye and good luck"

     

    Apologize for it all you want. You support cruelty for cruelty's sake. 

    I wonder what side you would be on in 1933 Germany.
