Very likely BOTH of these statements would be correct.

Sorry. Not sorry.

and another obvious but ignored difference is that the immigrants that were coming from Ireland or Germany Italy or these other countries shared values particularly Judeo-Christian values, and there were communities /neighborhoods of similar background for them to land and be supported by
And these were people that wanted to come here to work to buy into the American dream

That is how immigration worked in America's history and in out past


for 4 cubs to try to make an emotional appeal to our patriotism and accuse people who don't agree with the current form of immigration of being unpatriotic and unamerican is just intellectually dishonest

and she accuses others of low cognitive abilites


this conversation she has idea of/ in how immigration was managed
As opposed to now having the actual lowcognitive and criminal element being shipped here and their dream is to take advantage of America's social welfare system

The immigrants in the past went through a vetting we knew their name even if we changed it
we kept those that had an infectious disease out of the country sometimes housing them until that disease could be taken care of

Then they went out into America and into the major cities or tried crossing the nation to make their version of the American dream whereas now we have Other nation's criminals,mentally /emotionally ill people
that are being packaged up and shipped out of their home countries so their countries like Venezuela and others do not have to bear the brunt of the cost of their lowest demonitors being shipped to America given taxpayer money and being unleashed

and What communities does Cubby's think these people are coming into they're coming into the poorest weakest less able to take care of themselves communities in our major cities where is the compassion for our own citizens Black and Brown American women and children, We are offering up our most vulnerable to their most violent

and we're the ones lacking compassion?



These are the apartment complexes where the Venezuelan gangs are committing violence

I'm well aware of our nation's history, in fact our nation's immigration history made a point of preferring some immigrants over others
the fact that we put a limit on Chinese immigrants, right or wrong is historical face how we managed it
Our nation's political leaders and the wealthy elite that influenced them needed labor we needed settlers to take the West comfortable rich white people that lived in New York Philadelphia or Boston were less inclined to load up in a wagon travel across the country face all that danger indians and then start a new farm in the wild frontier.

But these immigrants had a background cultural background that made it easier for them to mesh with American citizens. They came from Western society

it was controlled immigration that helped build our nation
not open boarders

our nation also managed what kind of immigrants were coming in so that was the immigration policy that worked even if the argument for more immigrants coming in because our nation's companies need the cheaper labor that American-born workers refuse to do

Which is what it's all about now that are trying to get a cheaper labor force because generations of American workers expect sick time vacations working from home these immigrants won't have those expectations and so slowly they will be taking the jobs and given housing vouchers/loans

and it will be native-born Americans who find themselves living in homeless camps
And no I've not gone to secret meetings i've read history books

The threats or perceived threat is abstract to those on the computer. It's different if you happen to live in the neighborhoods these people are being shipped to.

Question, why aren't there haitians being shipped to Martha's Vineyard? It's funny these immigrant problems dont' affect the uber rich neighborhoods of the country. Why is that?

Do you think where ever you got your OP article is fully sufficient of the subject matter?

What is wrong with you? I didn't post a twitter 'short.'

I posted a podcast with a lawyer and scholar that is an expert on the subject of this thread. I knew you would never watch the podcast because you are so above it headstrong.

So I clipped the video to get right to the facts of discussion.

AND YOU STILL REFUSED TO WATCH IT.

You don't want discussion. You have already formed your opinion on this. You admitted you are troll posting.

It is very low cognitively skilled to want to choose some leftist talking points---- slanted article from overseas as gospel, no?

If you are interested in discussion instead of acting like a brat troll. Watch this and comment, it is not too awful long.

Dispute Ayaan Hirsi Ali in this video clip. Do you support Asylum abuse? It is criminal.

Agree. But I’m sure even if you excluded those who lived in those communities, the OPs study would likely produce the same result. Just like the other person who “fix it” substituting it being someone from the left who spent all their time on social media being more likely to want violence against Trump and Trump supporters. Those with the lowest cognitive abilities are most likely to limit what they “follow” or read to only those whom they already know they’re going to agree with.

Well we know the answer to that, and it would be funny if a Governor would pull a Greg Abbott and do just that.

Go back and read threads from 2010 about the hitchhiker.

In 2011 or 2012 my apartment was broken into while I was at work and my MacBook and bike were stolen.

There was no homeless person involved but the hens here love gossip so who am I to correct the record?

Previously you mentioned "consensus" being impossible

Now "sizable number" is sufficient?

Why the sudden change in metric?

Just to think Doctors and Engineers have lower cognitive ability than gender studies majors.

Dims have such high cognitive abilities that they have to be on welfare. Go figure.

Hilarious, one alleging low cognitive function of others does not understand the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. Now that's rich.

Look I realized I can't influence or halt other people's way of arguing

I think it speaks to some sort of personality disorder that people come in here and bring up cubbies and the bike and having the homeless guy live with her as a way to win a point in this debate..its mean and makes those doing it seem weak intellectually feeble

Those stories or facts whatever have nothing to do with the issue that's being discussed, it's just an insult ,
which I just assumed then that the person making the insult doesn't have the ability to put a cognitive thought together in an argument or a debate. This is why I believe and this is proof of why think the majority of the people that post here are really really really stupid .

Its distracting from the point that 4 cubbies position in this debate/discussion is so fundamentally flawed and wrong

And those of you that think you're conservative or Trump supporter and that you think you have right our facts on their side my opinion is you people are just as bad as 4cubbies and the leftist idiots because you believe in something
but don't understand what that is that you believe in and you're so easily swayed so willing to buy in the confirmational bias

It tells me that most of you don't know what you're talking about which is why I continue to call y'all a bunch of fricking idiotic politards

But Cubbies on this issue you are fundamentally historically factually completely incorrect and your arguments have no basis in fact or history

It is all pure emotion and how you feel and what makes you feel better that is not how you run a country or a community or even a home

It's okay to have compassion for people we are encouraged to care for those less fortunate our country has tried to hold it Itself up to some standards that call for a better treatment of human life.. by morality, ethics and history has taught us that there should be an effort to include the least of us to share in the Nations bounty

But everything you give has to be taken from somewhere

everything you give to an immigrant has to be taken from an American

and its our poorest and most vulnerable that will suffer the greatest from open borders and mass illegal immigration

You've criticized our current treatment of the homeless of children being hungry. You were correct in some of those assertions but adding more people that need the help is not going to increase the amount of help available
Those black and brown children Americans that you advocate for what's going to happen to them?

It's not who votes but who counts the votes and it's not who writes the propaganda but who believes the propaganda.

Hey OP, it sounds like you don't believe your lying eyes.

Doubt that sizable number is even close to 20% of the country much less a consensus.
