    Lawn Dart Difficult. With a big D.

    Nevermind the political and foreign relations backlash from pretty much the world... Largely, the time of Imperialist territory grabbing is over.
    Can anyone explain why? From a story I saw on TV, weren't they offered asylum in Mexico and refused? Is that how it works? You can refuse asylum because you want it somewhere else, and that country has to accept? I don't think that's how that works.

    Edit: I knew I wasn't crazy. They were offered asylum and refused.

    Time to redirect some bulldozers to free up some NYC real estate..... shoot maybe Trump could develop it after his 2nd term.

    The real power over this issue lies in the remittances. We could make those countries dance like clowns if we squeezed on that nerve a bit.

    Who does Western Union belong to? (Honest question.)

    The folks that run this country have been doing that back in their homeland for a decade now.

    It's not ironic that some of the folks that are sick and tired of this fuckery the most are the Mexicans and Central Americans THEMSELVES who applied for citizenship and asylum through the proper legal channels and waited their turn like they were supposed to.

    Especially not germans, whose employers spend tens of thousands on visas and green cards, putting them through a lenghty process, despite “substantial” tax contributions over the years...

    We're not looking for workers... we're looking for people whose sole job is to vote for the party of the government tit.

    Works for me. I actually considered showing up with my SC ID and voting for Hillary in the past elections, just to have proven a point. (Illegal voting or any vote for dems) Then again, not sure if my sense of humor would have went well with my permission status to be here temporarily.
