Yeah there "are desperate people both in USA and Mexico. The situation in both those countries are not good."
The USA is so bad that people are leaving in droves. Oh wait.....people are coming to USA because it's so bad.
Oh wait....that doesn't makes sense either.
I guess the people from 106 different countries who crossed the southern border of the U.S. in Fiscal Year 2021 in the Del Rio Sector of Texas alone didn't hear how bad it is in the USA. whoa

I cannot relate as to why people where you live have a need to own a gun, it seems that everyone owns guns, because of fear that someone else owns guns.

Don't get me wrong, my grandfather was in the military special forces, as was my father too, but those were times of war and combat, so they had knowledge and experiences from those times, but neither had a continued desire or need for guns later in life, it is just not that type of culture in Canada.


So, if someone comes in my house, threatens to kill me, and I don't have a gun to defend myself, I should die?
No way, no how will I do that.

Now you're probably thinking how could that ever happen, it's just a chance happening. I beg to differ.

I did some work for an older gentleman, when I was working part time for a local safe and lock company. We got called out to service his safe. What this guy did, was write on the wall above and behind his safe, the combination to his safe. It was behind a potted plant that sat on top of the safe. His reason for that was, had he gotten broken into and taken hostage, he could open his safe, and give whomever, the contents of his safe. He had been, in the past, and he was glad he's done it. Reason being, under a stressful situation, he'd forget his combination.

So, one night, A couple black kids broke into his house,and surprised him in bed. He had no chance to reach for his handgun that he kept in the nightstand beside his bed. They knew he had a safe, so they took him down to the room he had it in, and forced him to open it for the money. Well, a couple weeks before, his children had painted that room for him. They had inadvertently painted over the combination he's written on the wall! Of course he couldn't remember the combination, so they slashed his throat, and he bled to death in front of the safe. One of his children found him the following day, dead.

I suspect given a chance, he would have shot those kids dead. He struck me as someone who would have. In our state, you CAN do that. Several times in my area, that has happened, and the property owners did defend themselves, and got off.

One gas station owner right down the road from me had towed a customers car for him. This was on a Sunday morning when the station was closed. They were outside the station talking, when one would be thief tried to rob both of them. While they were laying on the ground, co-operating with the thief, the thief shot the customer dead! The thief took off running. The owner took control of the situation. He chased the murder down in his tow truck, and ran the S.O.B over with his truck! So what did the owner get for that? A commendation from the County Police. He had that hanging on his wall in the station until he retired, which was just last year.

Yeah, you can say we should outlaw guns. But if you do that, and take away guns, only criminals will have guns. Not everyone is a law abiding citizen.

The right to own a gun in the USA is mainly , for the citizens to defend themselves , in case the Government turn into evil dictators and such ... but if the criminals have weapons , so should the ordinary citizens .. but , yeah, a line has to be drawn , as to usage limits .... that's why there are Courts and Judges ..... but that's another topic for discussion ....

It's not like it's easy for Mexicans and other Latin Americans to easily can go to Europe. Trust me they would if they could afford it.
Also the myth of prosperity is strong.
It's hard for emigrants to confess their failure toiling in the fields for peanuts always looking over their shoulders for immigration officers.
Most Americans have never ventured out of their country and needs a reality check of the state of countries abroad.
As a comparison Moscow have bigger mansions then Los Angeles.
When you fly over, the amount castles are ridiculous! The cost of an apartment is much higher then any American city.
Yet, there are hardly any homeless.
Yes, you do see beggars but they are very old women or legless war veterans but not many.
Go to any major African city and you will be surprised.
It is not the way company's who wants your aid portray it.
Your government and media is not showing the truth. Why would they.
It's common practice in all country's.
They feed propaganda about their own greatness and how bad it is elsewhere.
To travel is to know, unfortunately it's expensive.

People who are MUCH closer to Europe are going to Mexico in order to cross the southern US border. That is a FACT.....not "government propaganda".

Many, if not most, of the people FROM the more than 106 countries have relatives who are in the United States. Are their relative also feeding them "propaganda" about the "greatness" of the United States? Romanians, who are Europe’s largest ethnic minority, seem to be the largest group of “OTM’s” (other than Mexicans) attempting to get into the United States. Border Patrol apprehended roughly 2,000 Romanians in 2021. I guess they didn't get your memo that "Mexicans and other Latin Americans" would go to Europe "if they could afford it".

There are MANY people in the media, from the entertainment industry and even politicians who, like you, OPENLY portray the USA as a horrible, dangerous and racist country where people are trapped in poverty. They have loud voices that are heard and seen around the world and yet people KEEP coming to the USA, many RISKING their lives. Why?????

I've talked to an Italian woman in Ontario, Canada who told me she knows a lot of people trying to move to the USA, most wanting to go to Texas, because of the deterioration of freedoms.

My parents immigrated from Italy to Canada where they met. My mom was from the northern Italy, my dad from the south. We then immigrated to the United States. My parents had the option for us to live in three different counties....countries they had lived in and chose to remain in the USA. I could move to Canada but with a leader like Trudeau who has no problem seizing protesters property and money it's looking more like China than a democracy. But that is to be expected from Trudeau who when asked what country he admired the most he said China. I've started calling it Chinada instead of Canada.

But you continue with your negative view of the US and your choice to live in another country....there are more than enough people who hate the US choosing to live here already.

It's a one way flow, most Latin Americans that come here head for Spain because of obvious reasons.
Other countries don't get any big amount. Same with USA, you already have a lot of Spanish speakers.
That is the main reason they come to US and the fact you can walk or drive.
Trust me that if you handed out free air line tickets in Central America many would go to other places instead.
See what happened in El Salvador. People came to the US, had a hard time, ended up in gangs, got deported and those gangs continued operations in the home country and now even more people are leaving El Salvador thanks to the nice education you gave them.
Nice job!
Keep living in your bird cage. The world outside is a "horrible" place!
But maybe Biden and his gang can make it better here, not?

You base what you are saying on a hypotheticals you've created rather than REALITY. Just take the people from EL Salvador in the US who, according to YOU, because of the education they got in the US. Salvadorian gangs, both MS13 and La 18 were created by criminals, not any education system. While the US deported CRIMINAL from El Salvador, non criminal Salvadorians WEREN'T deported, the formation of gangs is the result of the mind set of criminals who form and join gangs.
Your inference that gangs formed because people "had a hard time" there would be millions more immigrants, not just in the US but around the world, who would be gang members. It seems you are suggesting the US should make life easy for everyone, even criminals immigrants.

You said "if you handed out free air line tickets in Central America many would go to other places instead" which is nonsensical. A lot of Central Americans are paying thousands of dollars to gangs and cartels to get them to the US. If they wanted to go "to other places instead" they COULD buy their own airplane tickets. And why are YOU saying that if WE "handed out free air line tickets"??? Do you think the US government, financed by US citizens, should be financially responsible for the travel of foreigners????


I don't live in a bird cage nor do I think Biden will make anything better, ANYWHERE. I don't live in a bird cage, I don't think the ENTIRE world is a "horrible" place which is how you see the entire US. There are troubling areas in the US, it's not like that's a fact hidden by government propaganda. But you can keep on ignoring FACTS and blaming the US for the worlds problems....I wish you could convince all the people coming to the US illegally to stay home because it's so horrible here. SMH

As I said, it's a a problem that immigrants glory fie the result of the emigration.
It doesn't help with US TV shows showing NBA professionals houses and home decorations and flip flop shows that they sell to other countries media.
Go to Youtube and watch non US documentaries for some balance.

I like Americans, I have no problem with them. They are friendly in general. I don't like US politicians. They are puppets to big business!

Sorry to say, but maybe USA, Canada and Mexico should become one country and first order of business would be to legalize drugs. That would create a political balance and reduce drug gangs power in North America.
Sound crazy, I know but you should try it and leave the rest of the world alone.

It's asinine, because the vaccine saves millions of lives and it's such a tiny shot. Protesting the vaccine is almost as dumb as people taking ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine instead. Such Idiots!

you are sadly misinformed...the vax is NOT a vax it is an EXPERIMENTAL injection--period! Since when did so many smart people become dumped down by political propaganda? Y'll...covid hasn't even been isolated yet. :flushed: Do yourself a favor and stop watching cnn.

The liberal swamp has oozed across the border to Canada. Now their prime minister and the Canadian police are going to extreme measures to silence Canadians and imprison citizens for honking their car horn or possession of a gas can or giving food or water to the Truckers that are expressing their right to refuse to inject a drug into their body that they don’t feel comfortable doing. These Truckers are doing this not for themselves( they are 85% vaccinated) they are doing this for all people that value personal freedom. Soon the truckers here in America will be joining their Trucker brothers with their own convoy. It’s time to end the mandates once and for all or else the liberal party will bury itself. It wasn’t long ago these same liberals were cheering on the Truckers for delivery thru the pandemic.


I’m in CA one of the most liberal state I think. We are done with mandates. Why are they protesting something that’s just about over?

Because according to Biden, Trudeau, and other liberal leaders the pandemic is not over and they are not lifting mandates on all . In NY the new Mayor wont lift mandates on police and firemen but he lifts the mandates on entertainment and sports venues where 1000s of people are in attendance. Why do they get a pass and not first responders? .. in my opinion it’s because of the liberal agenda that the democrats are instructed to follow. They have yet to ‘ follow the science’.
