A few years ago Pimp starting having marital issues. He got divorced and went off the deep end. Then he started posting TRP-esque stuff about how you had to go to non-Western women who still appreciated being manly and would worship your manliness, etc. His current posting doesn't include that caveat, so I'm guessing that didn't work out.
No idea about the green card comments by MJ.
I felt/feel badly for him. I always liked him (as much as you can like an anon on a message board), but yes, his divorce really did a number on him.
Maybe six months ago (give or take) he mentioned that his girlfriend in Costa Rica (I believe) contacted him about letting a female friend of hers from Venezuela and that friend's teenage son enter the U.S. and stay with Pimp. He was very proud about paying coyotes to smuggle them into the U.S. and then letting them stay at his house.
It seemed odd to me.

Agreed fully.
Go look at his reply to me earlier acting like I am SO SO MAD at him for...something?
It's like this gif, but in real life:

Oh wow. Gotcha.

I'd appreciate your friendship more than passive aggressive insults. FTR. I've always given you the benefit of the doubt.
Semi-correct. My ex introduced me to a Venezuelan woman and her son while I was in central America. She actually suggested I NOT help them. So I didn't. I in fact, STRONGLY discouraged them from coming in the strongest Trumpian "build the wall" "You will be raped and possibly killed" language. They nonetheless began the journey north. The coyotes actually did grab them (and many others) north of Mexico City. But after I received photos of them in a cell with men with guns I had a choice to make. To allow them to possibly be murdered or to wire them money. This really wasn't a choice for me. I didn't doubt it then and I don't doubt it now. They subsequently made it to the border and the woman quickly moved on to Ohio where she had friends. The young man, lives here, and has become a second son to me. I love that kid. My kids love him. He has so many friends, he is relentlessly polite and cheerful, the smile never leaves his face, he's a fixture in the lives of many of us. Quite honestly, he's been a blessing. He has had two immigration hearings and his status is to be determined. I have made no effort to intervene legally on his behalf otherwise than to ensure that he has not had to receive one penny of government money. A girl I previously dated was a lawyer and she tried to offer him some advice but it was pretty much ignored. I've left his immigration where it belongs, to the US government. Does it mean I magically support open borders or think they have a right to be here? Of course not. It just means that I will save your life rather then let you die. Even you, Mo Jeaux, even after all the ridiculous slurs you've made against me.
Now you or anybody else can twist this or parse words in any prurient or assholish way you want. But I helped my 18-year-old friend in need at the single worst moment of his life. And now I see him with his GF and performing live music with my son and I feel true joy at how well he has adjusted to a really traumatic experience, after an entire childhood spent living out of a bag and sleeping on people's floors. I am happy I helped my young friend, and I feel blessed that I met the challenge. If that offends you- I'll just have to live with that. I'd invite you to our tailgate this fall so you can meet him and I'm sure you'd acknowledge the moral complexity of the choice I made. But you'd never come because you'd then experience the cognitive dissonance I felt-when ideological belief meets actual human suffering. When you see a human face, an actual human instead of an abstract idea, shite gets real very fast. And if you ever do make a huge personal sacrifice on behalf of another person, be ready for your critics to savage your reputation and slur you with impunity. On completely unrelated threads. For no other reason but to be negative and defamatory. As has happened with me here.
TLDR: Helped a guy. Not sorry that makes people who are wound really tight mad.
