How Stupid Are They?

...
Oddly enough not everyone in or from Mexico and Central America is a criminal, rapist, drug dealer, etc...........

Murph, you also seem to possess a reasonably good judgement of the character of folks and are willing to help where you believe it to be warranted. A good soul.......

I cannot put into words how honored I feel reading that from you, Rufus. You have me just-about speechless (!) and a bit choked-up. Thank you for your great kindness in saying that here, so publicly.

Frankly, I haven't met an Hispanic person I wasn't glad to have become acquainted with, or to have become friends with.

The United States has its share of Hispanic citizens.
I've worked side by side with Hispanic folks on and off over my entire working life. Over the years there were several I was buddy-buddy with at work.
Folks from other groups too.

There is a lot of great people out there from all over the world. It's nice to have them here. Things have changed in the last 20 years. We need to know who and what is coming into this countries. If we keep letting Central Americans walk in. Some liberal snow flake group will sue for creating an unfair advantage for Central Americans. They'll claim we need to bring people across an ocean and drop them on our shoreline. Give them a chance to sneak in. It's not fair. Africans can't walk across the Atlantic.

What system does Germany have in-place to deal with immigrants who just show up at their door?

[robert.]

At one point they said " refugees welcome" That created a big stir in Europe. Now i think they quietly send them back to Syria. Real hush hush. It's very hard for a Syrian refugee to walk all they way across Europe to Germany.

The main path for most of those from the middle east was from Turkey to Greece up through Serbia, Hungary, Austria to Germany. Hungary has built border fences. At the present Europe has a crisis on their hands.

Not really. This country has a very long history of reacting badly to immigrants coming in from nearly every country despite that every one here (other than Native Amercians) also came from somewhere else.

Maybe the next immigration laws should examine everyone's heritage and just deport everyone that cannot trace & prove that they have at least 3-4 generations of birth history in the US. That ought to solve everything!

Pretty sure that nobody can walk across the Atlantic.

I love irony. Solve? Ha! That would make many presently resident Americans refugees to other lands, not to mention, where would they go?!!! You should have a talk-show.

Except for our money, the rest of the world hates Americans. They wouldn't take anyone back.

Let's purge a bit and pretend that there are no ramifications to our actions. Put the shoe on the other foot and let's see how far some can walk their own rhetoric.

Go? We don't ask where deportees go now - we just drop them off over the boarder and walk away. Give them all a shovel, send them to Puerto Rico, and tell them to clean up the place. Get Gates, Bezos, and Buffett to buy Haiti and do the same......and turn it around into our off-shore manufacturing center where people can get a job.

Ok, I know that's not true as I've actually traveled outside the country. Then again, maybe they do now.....

So I guess that means you fail the test of have at least 3-4 generations of birth history in the US, too.

Nope, daughter in law paid one of those genealogy outfit to do a family tree on our last name. 4 generations working on the 5th. How about Rufus ???

Family came into the country in 1730's - I knew my great-grandfather and the farm is still in the family. The one family Bible has that branch recorded back to early 1800's. Other side also came into the country in 1730's; an uncle traced us back and wrote a small book, and then went back into the mid-1500's in Switzerland.

So your family history like mine is... Hey lets put these heathens in concentration camp so we can have their land.
