I don't think that coming from a nation of people
who all originally came from somewhere else and
were lucky enough to be allowed -
to make a life for themselves
here, and for those who came after them - are now
in any sort of position to give advice to others trying to do
the same thing.

Dear Hasbeen,

You don't own a pair of lederhosen do you?

When Germany was looking to deal with its large influx of Jews escaping persecution in Russia it was people like you who applauded measures to deal with these desperate people, people like you emboldened others around you, people like you happily dehumanised them and fed a populist sentiment which enabled a dictator to flourish. You are evidently one such enabler.

Dear Foxy,

>> What has the USA come to under the current President? <<

I can share your sentiments but would rephrase the question as:

What has the USA come to under its recent Presidents?

Hi Has Been,

You're probably right, that everybody should forget that Texas, New Mexico ('Nueva Mexico' - you can probably see where this is going), Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon - were once part of the Spanish Vice-Regency of Spain, only around 170 years ago. But the past is the past, let's move on.

It's probably come as a shock for Americans (i.e. people in the US) to realise that they actually have a borders with 'others', people 'not like them' - well, not like many of them - the people come up and who pick their fruit, strawberries, celery, valerian their houses, sort and pack their fish and crabs, and do so many other useful tasks. Big their country may be, but isolated, no.

There was a time, a glorious time, when America, the US, was a solace, a beacon, a leader, for other world, a

"MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

but those days are long gone, it seems. I fear that the 'other' American people will learn that lesson the hard way, in the long run. And for a long time after.

Thanks David F.,

Joe

Saw a photo of the detainee accommodation. Very roomy and neat. Airy and clean. Not even a bird cage in sight, and all very costly for a country legitimately protecting its borders. As always, the Left has no interest in illegals, who they are just using to vent their spleens against the best president since Ronald Reagan, America, and the West in general. These people shouldn't be given the time of day, let alone argued with as if they had anything useful to say.

Hi Joe surely you can see a baby being ripped from a Mother's womb is the severest kind separation. How can anyone then complain about a temporary separation that parents choose when illegally entering a nation. yes Toni if my kids break into your house feel free to take them to the police to be locked up. Just don't feel their heads with your political garbage
