"This is our Normandy Beach."
I wonder if they know who the defenders were during that specific tussle?

I'm not jumping with joy over the fact that most of these people are complete idiots but this is a crisis. A lot of people die in the attempt to cross the border, most women are raped.
When global warming really gets bad, Central Americans will do anything they can to cross over. With 50 to 60 million refugees going inland from the West and East coasts (this will happen, it's just a matter of time), how many more people will the US be able to even support within its borders?
As far as this issue goes, I'm just wondering if parents are sending their children away hoping they can rejoin them later once the kids have been processed. Are they hoping to anchor themselves as citizens by sending children alone? What the hell IS going to happen to these kids? Are they going to reunite them by sending them home or try to get them adopted? It's a logistical nightmare.

SolRo - 2014-07-05 most will be deported right back.

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-07-05 Didn't all the children from that debacle wind up being enslaved after seeking the help of the Pope?

just wanted to remind these refugees that there is always hope and there is also always someone to snatch that hope away from you at the last second
Was one dude chanting elian gonzales?
also, post more immigration videos people, watching the hysteric reaction from poesters who are losing/have lost their minds is wonderful
|
Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-07-05 Do you think it's possible to be anti-immigration but not be over the top insane?
|
Azmo23 - 2014-07-05 theoretically? sure!
anecdotally? not yet!

Void 71 - 2014-07-05 But the rich capitalists you're talking about are the ones who want unfettered access to cheap foreign labor. They want totally open borders because more competition for a finite supply of jobs is what drives wages down, especially when that competition comes from the developing world. By taking an anti-immigration stance, you're actually taking a stand against Capitalism's ruthless exploitation of poor immigrants in the name of endless growth.
|
SolRo - 2014-07-05 I'm fine with completely open borders if the upper tax rate is increased to 90% in the same law.
|
memedumpster - 2014-07-05 That is a good point, void, reform has to include rights for these people as well. Also, the SolRo plan would be great to watch unfold in the media.

Where the fuck are the cops in riot gear armed with tear gas to disperse this crowd?

As Will Durst said, if they're worried about people with a third grade education and the inability to speak English taking their jobs, undocumented immigrants are the least of their problems.
|
|
Void 71 - 2014-07-05 I wonder if Will Durst knows that he's both racist and classist. Somebody should tell him because he apparently thinks he's a progressive who can 'relate to the common working man.'

What ultimately is the delicious yet sad irony about all this is that these immigrants are simply being processed, then sent back. So these people are literally just delaying them being sent back to their countries.
It'd be like blocking a cop from getting into his car with a captured suspect complaining about how cops don't catch suspects. All these people being shipped to camps in the Southwest (we're getting some here where I live too) are just going to be shipped back, for the most part.

I sincerely gave this like a 60-70% chance of being an Onion piece when I read the poeTV headline.
*sigh*
It's to the point now that, as a caucasian with my lineage going back at least four generations in North America on both sides, I feel like I have no real claim to be here and should consider packing up, because this hypocrisy is just sickening. And I was born in and live in Canada, about as far as white North America gets to this shit.

matlock - 2014-07-06 I actually searched for a country to emigrate to (from the US), for similar reasons. My search ultimately led me to just stay indoors and smoke lots of weed.
|
gravelstudios - 2014-07-06 I have a little Native American ancestry (not that you could tell), so I feel like I have a right to be here, but I recognize that the average latino has way more indigenous ancestors than me or any of these morons. I don't mind living in America, but I think I'd like to get out of West Virginia.
|
Bobonne - 2014-07-06 Nobody has any right to be anywhere. The only thing you can do to 'earn' that claim is to treat your neighbours with respect and kindness, and make the community a better place with you in it than it would be without you there.
By that metric, there are a hell of a lot of people you can trace back ten generations to a location that have no right to be there.
We're all immigrants from somewhere else. There are no true natives, anywhere. Only good neighbours, and bad ones.
And the bad ones are likely to be bad neighbours anywhere on Earth.

FUCK ALL THESE PEOPLE. This story makes me madder than hell, because they are CHILDREN. They are incredibly vulnerable and they just treat them like shit. ArGGG fuck these fucking people. I'm so goddamn angry about this.
