and i think if you feel this has nothing to do with politics, you have your head in the sand. who is feeding these people along the way? i don’t see anyone carrying a months supply of food.

It's pretty interesting how it started

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

If anyone's feeding them, it's likely the Mexican government, hoping they stay strong and truck right on thru to the US border so they don't have to deal with them.

Who do you think are feeding them along the way?? Compassionate people would be my 1st locals churches..aid groups A hard concept for some to imagine



no one is denying that these people need help. but what liberals
don’t seem to grasp, is that we can’t take them all. we don’t have the space or the money.

Not that we should taken them all in.. but what you said not surprising is just not true ... We do have the space and the money.. not sure how that has any bearing on the topic

we have the money to take them
in? weren’t you worrying about the debt?

of course trumps response has to do with politics, asndies the liberal claim that we should
let them in. how many is nancy pelosi going to let
live next to her, so you suppose?? it’s very easy to support open borders when you are immune to the effects.

"only conservatives are claiming we have an open border we never have and never will have an open border ."

We have at least 10 million illegals. So how would you say it's closed? There's a gap somewhere. What the hell are you talking about? It's called "an expression", ever heard of that? Anyone who wants to come across, can. A few years ago, a guy running for Congress went to Mexico, and then illegally crossed back into the US, riding an elephant, and he hired a mariachi band to play alongside him, and he crossed without getting caught. Call it whatever you want, we all know what it is.

When the biggest swing you can take, is to say "the border isn't 'open', it's just 'porous' enough for a guy riding an elephant to make it across", you are really reaching.

when the right uses Open borders not an expression “open borders” is not a pejorative; it’s an actual policy position: they claim the Left wants

We have at least 10 million illegals. So how would you say it's closed? There's a gap somewhere. that numbers has be constant since early 2005

who said it was closed i said it was porous I also have a understanding of size and scope that you seem to ignore in how you get to zero illegal immigration


again geography AKA Facts U.S.-Canadian border, excluding Alaska, is approximately 3,987 miles, while the length of the U.S.-Mexican border is estimated at 1,933 miles.the general coastline of the entire US is 12,383 miles, while the shoreline is 95,471 miles
