what were the British colonist?

And the Mexican and South American nationals that travel here and cross the border are what then…Mexican job seekers?

Because they fought a war of independence and founded a new nation?

And people seeking refuge from poltiical persecution, like the weird puritans were, don’t deserve a different distinction ?

quote:

---

You really are retarded

---

What were they ? Why do different rules apply to them?

quote:

---

Are you seriously comparing the deaths of innocent children to the LEGAL deportation of people who came into this country ILLEGALLY with the full intention of doing so?

---

No? And even if I did, legality is no way to measure MORALITY. Slavery, 3/5ths act, women and gays not having rights, internment camps, etc were all LEGAL once in this country, even with people at the CURRENT TIME objecting to its abhorrent nature. It tells me alot about someone if they’re that shallow to base their morality off laws.

quote:

---

You really are a special kind of stupid. Those kids were sleeping in their cabins when the floodwaters swept them away. It is a tragedy of immense proportions, and it was no one's fault.

---

It’s a horrible tragedy. Maybe not preventable. Nature is cruel. But we can do things to ensure these events are less frequent. The current admin and party in power in Texas has no interest in that. Conservatism is funny because whenever it can be their fault, it never is. But if it’s a democrat, they’ll incessantly blame them.

quote:

---

The people who get deported have themselves to blame.

---

Surely kids getting deported have only themselves or their parents to blame. They put them in a climate and condition that allowed this to happened.

Oh wait! That sounds familiar. Or is it that we should only have sympathy for some people and not others? You think people, especially those subjected to your unequal treatment, will gladly oblige to that? :lol: nope. We won’t, I won’t either

He’s what I would describe as your average center right type dude in America. Votes Republican, has an American flag bumper sticker, has guns, etc but not some in your face type either. Go along to get along type guy.

---

That’s the “average center right dude”? ….

quote:

---

When we pulled up, they had a full blown pride flag with the transgender triangle on their house.

---

What’s wrong with supporting marginalized AMERICAN minorities that have done NOTHING to you? Is compassion bad? This is a weird post.

quote:

---

And flying the gay flag is definitely it

---

In so many ways you described the average center right Republican man as a bigot. You’re free to clarify your post. I hope you would because that what I would never want to believe. If I were an average Republican man described here I’d be insanely insulted.

quote:

---

There's a HUGE difference between cheering deportations

---

Nice way of saying some people deserve humanity others don’t. Conditional morality. You’re acting like crossing an imaginary line is a cardinal offense. When it is typically done, when heavily weighed, to escape a worse situation. Legality or not, is it ethically or morally wrong to seek refuge? Everyone wants more “secure” borders but yeah I have a heart and a brain and not trashing rational caring parents making huge calculated risks to seek a better life.

The founders of America were undocumented migrants as well. Why is their situation any different ?

quote:

---

People who enter the country illegally typically end up being a financial drain on taxpayers.

---

Slave to money. Money is your God. Typical. We’re a rich prosperous nation. With better governance and financing we can afford it. Also, I rather go broke than leave someone untreated.

A man I knew waited in an emergency room for 8 1/2 hours while bleeding rectally because there were so many patients there.

---

Our citizen is great, and the greatest in the world but a piece of paper shouldn’t mean I get treated better medically. I’m sorry for your friend though.

quote:

---

And most of the money earned by illegals ends up getting wired back home while the illegal stays in the country and drains taxpayer funded services

---

So they don’t have the freedom of speech with their dollar? If illegals are getting kicked out, why are they cutting taypayer funded services. You do realize, that the core ethos of Republican idealogy is conservation and self. If they’re not going to give it to the illegals, theyre not going to give it to us legal citizens. They’ll find a way to save it or say it’s wasteful spending or how it’s not needed or how money doesn’t solve problems.

You’re right leaning, you should know all their dumb, manipulative, lying, greedy ways. You know those funds will never touch the US citizens. That’s not how trickle down economies or any conservative economic platform has ever worked in reality.

quote:

---

So yes, people cheer when they are deported.

---

Hilary was right. Most Americans INITIALLY didn’t care about the holocaust, were anti civil rights, anti gay right, pro Japanese internment camps. Why would I ever follow Americans when it came to human rights, initially? We typically get it right, but only after a period of being dead wrong. Here’s another case. I will be staying clear of any support of such inhumane treatment of humans.

quote:

---

What is the context that makes her comments no different from people cheering deportations?

---

People want sympathy but won’t extent it. And then call other people crazy for pointing it out. It’s almost as if the underlining sentiment is “some people deserve sympathy and others don’t”

Where did I compare? I commented on what SHE said. I didn’t say whether or not I think it had value or was worth bringing up.

Stop lying on what I said. You won’t get away with it

Abbotts still giving senseless prayers and not doing a damn thing legislatively to prevent these?

And yall keep voting for this? Kids deserve better than what their parents giving them. Their selfish arse parents don’t even care about their future.

---

We love socialism in America as long as it's branded properly.

And if it goes to who we think deserves it. The right are hypocritical clowns. Their barometer for earn deserveness is immoral and flawed at its core. That’s why there is so much internal struggle in this country. Cause good people will always push back on it.

Dude kids were senselessly killed. I’m annoyed as hell. Pissed off.

The adults in the room chose to blatantly ignore warnings, and to chose the wrong leadership. I can sleep at night because I knew I chose well. Can you? Or will you continue to lie and deflect

Who voted for innocent children dying?

---

I vote every election cycle for harsher gun restrictions, better govt oversight, more govt funding, more climate control measures, etc.

I never vote for innocent kids dying. What does the GOP ticket have in place that specifically puts non fetuses first?


You can’t vote for someone that promises to destroy everything, and support the it. And when it happens, and it actually as bad as people said it would be, back track and say that’s not what you voted for. It’s exactly what you voted for. Own it. People like me will never let you leave it down. You don’t deserve it. You have blood on your hands
