Border residents express 'hopelessness'. "I can't believe the American people are just sitting by watching this unfold"

[bodecea]

Are you for the massive surge of illegal aliens coming into this country?

Those employers who hire illegals need to be charged/fined heavily.

Living in Southern Arizona I can relate to this. Armchair NIMBYs continue to scoff at the disaster at our Southern Border, but it's going to find you, too.

Are you sitting in your armchair?

 

[bodecea]

No
We were better.

Except for the declining middle class.

You are right they weren't the same as under Jimmy Carter, thank God. I'm old enough to remember 15 percent inflation which Reagan quickly reversed.

I always refer to the first few sentences from this 1980 tune when I think of the Carter economy…

Never spent the night in jail have you?

Nope.

Missing and Murdered Indian Women movement
Yes, good on you. Indigenous women are the most endangered females in America and always have been.
The rez is as much or more dangerous than the inner cities.

I’ve had a personal tragedy recently so my involvement is personal.

Yes he is. He always rushes in to any thread such as this to defend the invaders.

This may be an ‘issue’ for the hateful, bigoted, racist right – but the truth is this is just more fearmongering from conservatives.

“The border between the U.S. and Mexico was relatively calm Friday, offering few signs of the chaos that was feared following a rush by worried migrants to enter the U.S. before the end of pandemic-related immigration restrictions.”

Border appears calm after lifting of pandemic asylum restrictions

The border between the U.S. and Mexico is relatively calm, offering few signs of the chaos that had been feared following a rush by worried migrants to enter the U.S. before the end of pandemic-related immigration restrictions. Less than 24 hours after the rules known as Title 42 were lifted...

For every article you post like this, I can post ten that shows the chaos.

It’s hard to believe how weak your kind is. My ancestors fought and died for this land. We died for our people. Why don’t you? Why do you rely on other people to do what needs to be done?

My ancestors fought and died for this land too. In addition, mine won.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Are you sitting back?

The entire country is.

 

[Hellbilly]

My ancestors fought and died for this land too.

You think that’s enough? If you’re not willing to do the same, don’t complain.

I'm only 47 so I'm not old. But I've sat with my grandfather who is 93 and neither of us can believe this is America now and that we actually let this happen. In neither of our lifetimes had we ever dreamed America would just roll over like we are now on a lot of things, not just the border.

He was a marine and I was in the army. And we get together with 2 of his marine buddies were all saddened that this is the America we fought for.

The current president and his ENTIRE administration is a fucking disgrace to America on so many levels. It upsets me, saddens me and angers me to see this. They do not deserve to even live in America. If you can even call us America anymore beyond just in a formal sense.

 

[Hellbilly]

In addition, mine won.

What did you win, exactly? Look at this country your people created. It’s a shithole.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Trumpo was and is a fucking disgrace to America on so many levels.

Why dont the mexicans fight for their own country?

Why dont the mexicans fight for their own country?

I'm not Mexican. I've never been to Mexico. I live as far away from Mexico as you can possibly get. How would I possibly know what Mexicans think?

It is hard to believe that we just sit back and allow our country to be invaded.

Border residents express 'hopelessness' as migrants pour into Texas: 'Things are really going to go bad'​

Generally you get the government you deserve. The Romans saw their empire fall due to greed and nonsense, the same is happening in the US. A country that can't get rid of the dollar bill.... showing everyone how paralyzed the country actually is.

Didn’t say they did the right thing. They did what they thought was the right thing. I’m pretty sure when they look back they will see there were other ways they could have done things. That aside not doing anything is not the way to go. I’m due to retire in a few months. When I do I’m headed out west to join the MMIW movement. It’s the right thing to do for my people. I most definitely have an axe to grind with the (sorry) white people who keep murdering our women. If I’m killed at least I’ll be killed fighting for my people.

These women mostly live on tribal land, which is why they're supposedly not "tracked" by US police. So, they are mostly murdered by fellow Indigenous people. Right?

And the goal is to use the US police force to track them? (white people?)

Why? We have been doing it for 40 plus years. Seems you should be used to it by now
