Shhh you can't go criticising Saint Barry around these parts... https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-22/dont-cry...
Further to previous I hadn't realised quite how f
ked Mexico is. And how the US' appetite for narcotics is one of the main reasons. The US has a rampant drug problem it needs to get a handle on. IMO, that would be a better way to focus attention to the issues at the border. I think we're sheltered from the full extent of the situation in North and South America. Drugs and organised crime are having a massive impact which is going to be a nightmare to address. Get to thinking that legalising some of it may be the only way.
That brings us full circle back to why Trump and the MAGA dullards think lobbing a wall up would be a good way to address it. What a fking mess.

Mexico is a very fked Mexico is. .ked up place, even after the Spring Breakers left. I read the other day that in the last 9 months 122 local political candidates had been assassinated by the cartels; they are also deeply embedded in the US for distribution and Columbia for production, which is back on the up.

USA will never admit the way they treat everything below their border, so it'll be a running, pustulous sore for the rest of their existence.ked Mexico is.

Because when something bad comes to light it presents an opportunity for someone in power to say ‘wait a minute this doesn’t feel right, we’ll fix it’. He’s just arguing that it’s not a problem of his creation and therefore it’s not his problem, it is, he is president, he can do something about it and he initially claimed he could not which as we all know is bks. He made an already existing problem worse and then argued he was powerless to change things, well that simply cannot be true, if you can worsen a problem you can unworsen it!
Not really. The border is a long running problem. Trump wants proper long term solutions not sticky plasters which don't work.ks.

roportion of Americans killed by illegal immigrants against Americans killed by legally held guns?
(It’s tiny, in case you were wondering)
why is the proportion important at all? Some of the illegal immigrants are up to no good, and that's a fact regardless if it was 1/10 1/100 or 1/1000.(It’s tiny, in case you were wondering)
I understand nearly all of them are in desperate situation but countries are not social services. Needless to say it's quite unfair to all of those going through all the hassle to come the legal way.

Go look up the concept of 'proportional response'. You might want to remind yourself of the concept of 'racist s' as well.p1stonhead said:

There are few things more gratifying in my role as an advocate than when a whistleblower trusts me with explosive information (docs, images, etc.) and looks to me to ensure it is released for maximum impact for the public good. Today is another such day. #BuckleUp #Basta
