It’s a fair point. Mestizo American Nationals are being made into scapegoats by this innovation of Caravan. The knee-jerk reflex by US National Mestizos, to view opposition to mass organized Asylum as racism, is precisely the desired outcome. US National Hispanics get their wages diluted, their health care diminished, their housing cost skyrocket, and it’s made out to be: at their own insistence! Clever indeed. It’s Rock Ridge of Blazing Saddles, comedy movie all over. Why it would take a real estate shark to pull off such a thing. Now who could that be?
Funny I do not see any Norwegians in line, only people from s-hole countries that trump wants to keep out and he has slashed the number of legal immigrants allowed or deport them even if they are here legally but ever used Medicaid or food stamps.
Say what? What you talkin’ about Lester? Muslims no longer allowed; along with people from “shithole” countries. Do you even know the first thing about immigration policy?
Employers need about 500,000 unskilled and willing workers every year. Americans are unwilling, to say the least, and would never admit they are unskilled. The government issues 5,000 Green Cards a year. It doesn’t take a college degree to figure out why we have so many illegal immigrants, and why employers are willing to hire them; they have no choice in the matter, if they expect to get the work done.
Just remember, Trump had to find two immigrants who were willing to marry him. There are jobs Americans won’t do.
Good grief, Mike inadvertantly shows EXACTLY the problem here. He does it in the most racist, hateful way possible, but the problem is clearly evident: There is only ONE line.
Yes, Mike I do see how careful you were to draw all kinds of diversity in your little line, but your “Amigo” comment, that is directed straight to the heart of one group of people. And that, buddy, is racism. No matter how much you argue otherwise.
All of Mike’s “Amigos” must use the same few resources to get here. Our immigration laws are the problem, not the people trying to immigrate.
Mike, and all you ‘righties’. Put it this way. We know that Mr. Trump does not like the IRS. They’re out to get him after all. So let’s just say he decides to get stupid and close all but one IRS office in each state and require that you physically go there and pay your taxes. Why not? He’s done stupider things. Hell, have you ever dealt with the IRS? It’s almost that bad already.
So now you need to pay your taxes. You want to follow the rules and do the right thing. But you can’t. Because the government has not only made it nearly impossible to do what needs to be done, it has also made you a criminal when it did it. No matter how hard you try, you’re a criminal.
This is the problem immigrants to America ALL OVER THE WORLD have. It’s not just Mike’s “Amigos”. It’s everyone, everywhere. I’ve worked in the US Embassy in Moscow. I’ve seen the line for them trying to get the hell out of that crazy place. When I was there immigration was only open the 1st Wednesday of the month. One day out of the month!
All over the world. We don’t see everyone else though, we only see the Latino’s, because geography has given them an option all those other folks waiting so nicely and patiently in Mike’s line do not have. They can walk here. If they don’t mind risking their lives.
Why do people want to come to America? They don’t have this problem in Canada, Switzerland, Great Britain, Japan. Why America? Good question:
“There is no country in the world like the United States, not even free Western democracies. We are the only country in the world with a Constitution that limits the government, that provides for the primacy of the citizen over government. We do not have a Constitution that limits what people can do. We have a Constitution that limits what the government can do. That had never been done before in the history of the world.
Most people live under some form of dictatorship or tyranny and have nowhere near the freedoms that we in the United States have. They don’t have anywhere near the economic freedom and liberty or prosperity that we have, which is why we’re such a targeted destination for people.
Not that we’re better than any other people on the earth, but because we have fewer restraints and restrictions on us, that we are freer to reach our potential as individuals and as a population.
Nations had been around for thousands of years, say in Europe or the Middle East. We, in less than 200 years, had eclipsed them by a factor of 10 in just basic standard of living circumstances. Simple things, like plumbing, sanitation, water, inventions such as air-conditioning and flight and electricity and so forth, leading the world in all kinds of innovation, led to untold millions of people wanting to come here.
IIn order to preserve this country, it ought to be a very specific task for somebody to become one. If they come here via legal immigration, they do have to take a test. And those who endeavor to become citizens and pass the test, it’s one of the most proud days of their lives. If you’ve ever been to a naturalization ceremony or ever seen one televised, it’s one of the proudest days of their lives, to become an American." -Rush Limbaugh
All of your negative comments for some reason don’t address what the strip is saying, are you just ignoring that fact because you know the legal immigrants resent illegals? Also all you do-gooders can very easily sponsor a immigrant, but again it’s easier to run off at the mouth rather than put your money there.
I guess Lester has missed all those news items about refugees flooding the more peaceable Mideast nations (Lebanon, Jordan) and the European nations in search of a safe place to live. Nothing like being a total provincial in one’s POVs. His featured comment post would seem to verify this interpretation. Surprise, Mr. Lester! A lot of people do not think that the US is the ideal place to live. They prefer their homes except when those homes are destroyed by war or crime. But they would most likely rather have been able to stay at home. What has the US done to help such people? Not much at best and made it worse in all too many cases.

Which is actually all they want to do, not rape and murder and vote illegally like the cult of Il Douche would have you believe.

Racists certainly have developed a special kind of applied ignorance. Right, Mr. Lester?

If they cross our borders illegally, shoot them and let them lay. Guaranteed to put an end to crossing illegally, above ground anyway.

He gets it in one fell swoop. Admitting illegals ahead of those honest people who have waited years is just wrong. Legally wrong. Morally wrong.
