it’s very noble of you to be so fair and balanced about this topic, but I think your missing the “ big picture”. and that would be the far left attitude that if you don’t agree with their side then you don’t have the right to disagree. Your are either call a racist or your shut out and silenced. There has always been biased news reports and reporters but that’s a far cry from what we have now. And it’s trickling up to the highest positions in the liberal party. I.e.Biden saying anti vaxers are a pandemic and killing others. Or kamala saying the “ cowboys on horseback whipping black people. What a shameful ignorant individual she is. You say both sides… I agree to a point but the far left democrats have made it the disgusting entity it is now.
To be fair, the video of those Border agents charging Haitian immigrants was bizarre and upsetting. Dude just walking and nearly getting trampled.
Do you also think the images of thousands of ILLEGAL foreign nationals, they AREN'T immigrants, under a bridge were just camping??? Do you think members of a Mexican cartel standing along the river looking at border agents with AK47 were just hunting????
As an ACTUAL immigrant who's family FOLLOWED US laws to LEGALLY move to the country I'm offended when people DEFEND people who DON'T respect immigration laws. For many ACTUAL immigrants like myself if feels like people defending ILLEGALS are telling us we were fools for waiting in line and following laws. It's like a slap in the face for ACTUAL immigrants who respected US laws.
it’s never foolish to do the right thing, that’s how you get through life proudly holding your head high… with the Biden administrations ridiculous asinine decision to undo the Trump policies, it’s hard to blame people from wanting to come to the land of freebies. I’m wondering if the people that come in legally and go through the waiting period, if they receive all the benefits that the ones that come in illegally receive? Free college, free housing, free health care…If you open your door and invite people in don’t be surprised when you are overrun with visitors. I’m not defending their actions but I understand why they are coming.
1)I DIDN'T say it was foolish to do the right thing....I said it "feels like people defending ILLEGALS are telling us we were fools for waiting in line and following laws".
2)I'm not "blaming" people for wanting to come to the US. I DO blame people who break laws, not just immigration laws, for their actions and LACK of RESPECT of any laws. I WON'T make excuses for, or condone, people entering the country illegally anymore than I'll make excuses for, or condone, shoplifting. Doing something YOU know is wrong ISN'T excusable.
3)I DO believe it is freebies is a large part of what attracts people to enter the country illegally. When my family LEGALLY immigrated to the US we WERE NOT eligible for ANY government assistance. My father needed to have a TRADE that in short supply and he had to find an EMPLOYER who guarantied he would have a job for a determined length of time. We also had to file an "alien registration form" every year, and within 10 days of moving, so the INS (immigration and naturalization services) at the time......and NOT do so could result in being deported. My family gladly registered yearly because we RESPECTED the law and APPRECIATED the PRIVILEGE of being ALLOWED to live in the country.
Once again, I don't think we were fools for immigrating legally even though it feels like people who DEFEND the ILLEGALS are telling us we were fools.
