All those people don't try to live in the US because the US is so great, they do so because their own countries are <deleted><deleted> and the US up till now let them enter illegally and work there.

If their own countries were half as good as a western country, they'd stay there. No one crosses the Darien for fun, which says how bad their own counties are.

 

PS I don't think any countries are good, it's just that some countries are less bad than others.

The US does not let people enter and work there illegally. Certain people do. People move to the US because of the reasons I mentioned. It has everything anyone could want from all countries, and freedom some countries don't.

No, I lived there for 62 years, and will move back as soon as I can. I have Medicare, so that doesn't figure in for me at least. It's up to the government to do the right thing and give us free health care.

You made a claim about America being a great place to live which is why so many people are moving there. . Now you're saying it's a great place to live for you because of Medicare. You think many elderly foreigners are immigrating to America? And if they do, will they get Medicare?

Irrelevant- the reality has been that illegals have been able to enter and work. That looks like it's over, at least till the next Democrat president.

Can you please name a few of these traditional values?

Pros and cons with pros far outweighing the cons, like a lot of places.

Pros only for people with money.  Like a lot of places including Thailand.

Elderly people wanting to move there need to bring a lot of cash.

The exact opposite was the case, Ray Charles was a heroin addict and led a chaotic life of non-stop affairs with women, prison arrest.

 

But he was an incredible genius, played chess for fun and always remained humble.

To show what kind of people the left have become, since Ray Charles tribute to America the beautiful.

The left  have aligned with evil, to create a new alliance kinda like Hitler & Stalin. The Red Green Alliance !

 Anti Capitalist, pro communist, socialist, antisemitic, anti white, joining forces with Terrorist  organizations  to destroy my country.

Yes, yes. God bless America.

 

And thank Christ I am not American.

Have you ever been to America?  It's not a homogeneous place, if I can use that term.  There are over 300 million people in America, and just as many "Americas."  People immigrated there from all over the world, including many Europeans. They brought with them ideas and talent and money from just about everywhere.  And they were educated. Capitalism was the name of the game and government was to be limited. At least that was the idea. 

 

Anyway, people who talk about "Americans" is if they're all the same obviously don't know what they're talking about.  To be sure, a mob mentality can sometimes take hold among large groups of people.  People who think what they're told to think and vote how they're told to vote.  How many people voted for Harris?  LOL.  And now they've convinced those same people that Elon Musk is one of their enemies. A Nazi.  Fortunately, many people still have some sense.  America still has a pulse. 

 

Before for the current group of nutcases (Lefties) who seem to think everyone needs to listen to and consume the same propaganda and march to the same tune, America was a great place.  If you wanted to do something, you did it.  And unless you were breaking the law, it was all good.  Want to travel? No problem. Go.  What to speak your mind? No problem. 

 

Anyway, that America hasn't been completely eradicated. It's still there, although deeply wounded.  Do I agree with everything Trump does and says?  Hardly, but he was the alternative to what would have become a real tragedy.  And fortunately, Trump is now President once again.  Perhaps there's some hope.  

Either a Troll

 

...or another case of why not to post while flying high on the wacky weed and Jello shots.

 Whoa!

He inspired white & black people together, as Americans.

He played at the GOP convention  , his style of play made for  real hope for unity . But the left would have none of that so radicals came on the scene in

the form of Black Lives Matter.

Too late. Already destroyed in just these last few months.

I'll bet they go so far as to suggest a name change for the country!

I went to a BD party for a guy from Norway ! The party attracted many flavors of  Nationalities.

One of my friends from the UK, retired ex cop said , you have to be careful what you say here , there are a lot of

Socialist from the UK.

 

The guy the ex copper! He’s sick to see

his Britain in its current condition .
 

 

America hasn’t been ‘the greatest country on earth’ in decades, at least not since Reagan gave big corp the chance to get their hooks in well and truly. 
 

And the (far) right doesn’t need the left’s help to destroy the country, they’re doing a hell of a job on their own.
 

By the way, what’s with the weird and random use of capitals in every sentence? Trump started doing it in his truth social posts, and now every MAGA supporter seems to follow his lead.

I said it's a great place to live. I didn't say because of my being able to have Medicare. I wouldn't know how many elderly foreigners are moving to America, but people are. No, only citizens get Medicare unless they get a green card and live there at least 5 years.

Reality is that happens in every country. You need to live there at least a few years before you understand what really goes on there, as news and videos don't tell but a fraction. And Trump might try to stop illegal immigration, but it won't stop.
