Yes, those who aren't open minded enough, are biased or prejudiced in their thinking, or educated enough tend to dismiss those that know a lot more than they do. We do laugh.

You mean like murderers, child rapists, drug smugglers, people smugglers, gang members etc. Yep. The borders were open and wide open. Denying this is denying the reality of the past four years and would be completely delusional. 

Denying what? The borders aren't and haven't been open. They come in daily, illegally, and don't belong there. There doesn't have to be anyone coming in anywhere to have murderers, child rapists, drug smugglers or human traffickers already there. In all countries. Wide open means they're allowed. That they cross daily doesn't mean open, but that they're crossing into another country without permission. This we learned before high school.

and you did what about it, nothing of course

What am I supposed to do, hold them at gunpoint after chasing them through the south Texas brush country? Do you live in the USA? What have you done to stop anyone from coming in illegally?

I lived there for 62 years, do you think I wasn't aware of what went on? I sold guns, was in the business, and had many officials as customers who told their stories. A lot more in the deal than someone who neither lives near it all, or only went by the one sides biased opinions.

first you lived there for 32 years and now it is 62 years, damn man get your story straight, if it was 62 years, you must be pushing 100. Time for you to get back there and get all the people straightened out with your vast amount of knowledge.

I used to go Ski-ing every winter (Lake Tahoe), and diving every summer (Florida).

Then some large black low class woman screamed and shouted at me and my family for stepping over a line on the floor in an immigration entry queue, and I never went again.

Taking a week's vacation and staying at a resort doesn't qualify.

If you read and comprehend, I said 32 years in Texas, .I was born in New Jersey and stayed there 30 years. Best to stay out of a discussion unless you have knowledge on it. Do you think anyone listens to anyone in America unless you're very rich?

You are so out of reality and being a Trump supporter further shows just why. The borders have not been open for a century plus. People come in every day, and will continue to, and if you think Trump is stopping them, you're dead wrong. They don't care about policy, laws or what might happen. There is money to be made, there are Americans hiring these illegals, and they'll keep coming. Trump is kicking people out , some of which should be allowed to stay. Getting those that are illegals out has been going on since they closed the borders. People are deported daily, and come in daily, and that will never stop. Wake up and see the reality and not be blinded by hero worship.

So how in the hell did millions of people get into the US, did they just go to the ticket counter and buy a ticket to enter the circus

Wide open means they're allowed

They have obviously been allowed in and then protected in sanctuary cities getting tax payer funded support. Have you not seen the people ICE are now deporting. They have been walking freely in the US. It's true that there are people who have been doing nothing wrong as such caught up in this but if a person is in the US illegally or is undocumented then the immigration law has been broken. Should the law be ignored?

Some came legally, making tourist and work visas. Some married US citizens and were granted permission to stay. Some crossed borders in many different ways, using coyotes with a promise of a job.

Nothing but I think you might be using some mind altering substance, because your replies aren't meaningful but derogatory and ill informed.

They've always been walking freely in. When they're caught, they're lead out in buses back south. I've never said anything about them being able to stay, but just that they come daily. No one should be allowed to stay unless they have legally working close family members or asylum seekers from fear, until it's proven justified. Or that they obtain legal working papers.

Canada isn't a poor country with criminal activity like Mexico and Central America is. They have reasons to come in, meaning the ones wanting work and to be with family.

Let's start over for you. Born in New Jersey 1956, stayed 30 years,  moved to Texas 1985, stayed 32 years,moved to Thailand 2018.

From what I've seen it's Indians and Asians coming across from Canada.

No, I actually see things just the way they are, because I don't take sides, I lived in Texas 32 years, talked to border agents weekly, saw illegals coming in almost every time I hunted south Texas, watched them cross roads and ranches, talked to land owners, who were actually there daily, instead of listening to biased news posts.

Tell us how long ago since you lived in Texas? Times change. Trump in 2016 just wanted to build a wall, 2020 Biden pretty much invited the border crisis at a debate with Trump, Biden revoked all of Trump's border policies, stopped building the wall. Have you forgotten the buses of migrants being sent to NYC and Chicago and the turmoil this caused.  This was all Biden. His admin caused this s**tshow.

 

The old days the migrants left their families south of the border, they picked the crops, sent money home and went home themselves after the seasonal work. But, now they bring the families, send their kids to school, rent homes. Good luck finding a school in Texas without too many Latino kids needing special assistance and the school dumbing down the studies.

I'm there almost every year, My family lives there, and I have many friends there. Lived there 2018, will be moving back asap.The wall is mostly useless, as they're still coming in over, under and around it. Biden again wanted to help families and those seeking asylum, which should be done. Latinos have been there all long, before we were. As long as anyone's working and not breaking the laws, they belong there as much as you or I do. We're all from immigrants. There are plenty of whites that don't do their children justice by not caring much about them. Look at how it is here with students. In the US you won't pass school unless you pass the grades. You don't pass school, good luck finding a job besides picking fruit.

The military is not used for LE here. And our cops dont stand around with machine guns like they do in Europe.

 

But of course you will take the side of terrorists and America haters.

 

Careful.Multiple US airports have  police with long guns, usually  AR 15 type. Houston, Los Angeles, Boston

Hope you have the funds for a private school or able to reside in the Good School district.

I think there is a difference between airports and walking the streets.

 

PS: I have never seen a machine gun at JFK, EWR, LAX, ATL

Than they should go through the legal channels. I don't like having to support illegals through tax payers dollar's.

Of course they should. Not many people want anyone in the US illegally without contributing. Besides other criminals of course, and those that profit from them, meaning rich Americans who hire illegals.

More BS parroting woke liberal talking points. So predictable. Grow up. Fact of the matter is immigration laws in the U.S. are laws set in place by Congress. If it wasn't for the insane Democratic Party policy of open borders and the equally insane sanctuary city policy none of this would be happening. The U.S. was built on immigration and is proud of it. Legal immigration not illegal immigration. 

Explain what the dems open border policy was, if you can. Dont google it just your understanding.. Then explain what the past republican border policies were, if you can.

So, you can't afford a private school it seems. Hope you have a good school all scoped out. One without too many blacks or latinos. Anytime you get a majority of  minorities the education suffers.

No you're not racist in the least now are you? I think the main thing suffering is your lack of character and morals.

People were given temporary protection visas if they went through the proper channels then shipped off to sanctuary states BUT millions poured across not through official channels.

I wouldn't need a private school in any event, as Texas has many very good schools that are public. All my children went to them, and they were all high ranked. I'll be in the Hill Country, where there are also good schools, three of which my grandchildren went to. Education only suffers when teachers aren't doing their jobs, along with administrators.
