Illegal immigrants there, not here
« on: July 28, 2022, 03:36:31 PM »
Illegal immigrants there? Not a problem. Illegal immigrants here? BIG PROBLEM!!

Illegal immigrants flooding into southern border states and bringing a wave of crime with them doesn't seem to be an issue. However, bus them to DC and it's suddenly so bad you need to call out the National Guard.

Yeah DC has a population of over 700K, gets around 4000 illegals, and it's a disaster. Meanwhile all those Southern border towns with 20K-50K populations are getting thousands of immigrants each and, "Why are those white supremacists complaining?!?"

A couple of years ago when there was a big outflux from North Africa to Europe, the German government was assigning illegals to various German towns. One small town in, IIRC, Bavaria was assigned a LOT of them, and the German government wanted to know all kinds of stuff - how many hotel rooms were available, even how many PRIVATE homes had an extra room.

The little town's leaders didn't respond. The first trainload of illegals showed up late at night to a train station that was all closed up - and it was cold. The bureaucrats riding along were upset. Little town kept ignoring them and IIRC, they had the German army come and set up tents, field mess kitchens, etc. for all the illegals.

Never heard a follow up of how the situation was resolved - or if it was. Maybe that little German town can teach the rest of us something about dealing with illegals.

I sell a LOT of car parts to people who only speak Spanish.
 
Why is that?
 
They are WORKING. Maybe you don't want to cut your own grass or trim your own trees or asphalt your own flat roof.
 
They're doing that. And they are looking to the future.
 
Some other folks are just waiting until the next opportunity to loot happens.
 
I figure that the criminal element is pretty small, overall, and has probably centralized in much larger cities.

Bogie, just because people speak Spanish doesn't mean they're here illegally - an awful lot of people from south of the border have entered this country the proper way, following the rules and obeying the law.

And a lot have NOT entered the proper way.

My church (Episcopal) has a large enough Latino component among the parishioners that there's a separate mass in Spanish every Sunday. There's a Roman Catholic church a few blocks way that has changed its name to the Spanish version, and I think its congregation is now about 90% Latino.

Nobody ever speaks about it, but the Latino assistant pastor is a friend, and from various clues he has let slip I'm pretty certain that most of out Latino parishioners are illegals.

I agree with that 100%. My point was that there are Spanish speaking people that HAVE immigrated the right way - and some of those I've talked to are very, very upset with illegals.

Bogie- if the Spanish speaking people buying your car parts are illegals, they are criminals already.  Most illegals have fake documents to allow them work (illegally).  That is a felony, but no one in the government cares.

Our government is using immigration, both legal and illegal, to transform the demographics of the country into one that tolerates crooked and power-mad leftist rule in return for welfare payments.

Most countries in the world that are non-european in derivation are tribalist with governmental corruption as a norm.  That is what the federal government wants.

Sad but true.
As an example of that "lawlessness", local St. Louis TV news stations were reporting of multiple people and vehicles being shot and shot at last night by several groups of "young people", some of whom were using what the reporters described as "AK pistols".  The reporter then had to go on and explain how these were "smaller" but built to "look like" the rifles and he didn't know if they were "fully automatic or not".

Guess being a sanctuary city isn't so hot after all after immigrants actually start showing up.

Call me crazy, but instead of busing illegal aliens around the country, why don't we bus them to... Mexico?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Texas can deport people to another country. I think only the feds can do that and they're not in the least bit interested in doing so.
Besides Mexico doesn't like people crossing their border from the north uninvited

Well that would just be cruel! You can't kick people out of the United States!

Ben is correct -- expelling someone from the country is a Federal thing -- the states can't do it.

So Abbot came up with the next best, and perfectly legal, answer.

I just saw that the Chicago Mayor packed her illegals back up on another bus and sent them to a small village in the next county over, which apparently is not in a sanctuary county, like her city and county is.

It's a little confusing to see a sanctuary city mayor be NIMBY, but she's a progressive after all.

Because Mexico doesn't let people just cross their border without documents, or a plan to leave.  Same with Canada, you can't just cross the border with a bunch of folks and dump them off.  It's almost like those countries believe borders mean something.

Dupage County, former Republican county. County Line Rd is the border between Cook County and Dupage County. Under 15 miles to downtown Chicago. Burr Ridge is the home to Chicago professional athletes, rock stars, assorted millionaires and most everyone makes six figures and up (Estimated median household income in 2019: $165,505). The median is driven down by old sections that haven't been gentrified yet.
That's the south eastern part of Dupage county. That area is my old stomping grounds where I grew up and escaped from just recently. Went to the same high school with Burr Ridge kids. It is heavily wooded and had both rich estates and Illinois rednecks back when I was in HS. As a matter of fact the Midwests last remaining 1/2 mile clay oval short track was on the edge of Burr Ridge (closed in the early 90's). I could hear the races in the summer if my bedroom window was open, went to plenty of races while growing up. The region was pretty nice to grow up in and it's a dual tragedy of progress and wokeness in what it has become.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
