Here is a very good perspective of the problem of immigration and world poverty.

Looks like the new death vaccine might not be such a bad idea.

A slap to the face of reality, while so many with evil motive try to bring mayhem they will eventually die by!!

iNteresting video Bernie..

But, the right wing also opposes foreign aid..

which tactic, if any, do you want to invest in??

What is a good plan?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I would choose to help better people in their own country where I suspect they would rather be... I do not, however, support going to war over their cause..Unless we are threatened by their aggressiveness and it directly impacts us...

We are not the ruler of the world nor should we be...

I've seen this before and agree 100%. Problem right now is that we are funding a lot of these countries and they are not using the $ for it's intended purpose. We have to figure out how to hold other countries accountable who are taking money intended for lifting up their people, but are using it for other things like Government personal gain, militaries or elitist wealth.

If the video shows anything, Frosty, it shows that we cannot support every cause and save the world. If we think this Country, which has gotten to where it is in 250 years, and we think it is the way to go, then we have two choices: (1) The United States has accomplished something that has not been reached by any other country in many millennia (That's a thousand years for those in Rio Linda) and that is a great accomplishment, Or, (2) we have been usurping too much of the natural resources that God has given us and we should open our borders to any and all who want to come here and enjoy our lives. The problem with that is that any reasonable person with a brain, after viewing that illustration with gumballs, has to realize that is not possible. These people who so aggressively want to come to the U.S. must be helped in their own countries. They must be trained to do it for themselves, just as our founding fathers did. I doubt if you would disagree that the U.S. has spent much time and money trying to do just that. One problem is, most of the leaders of those countries don't want that kind of help, they just want to move in.

I'll admit that's a one-paragraph oversimplification of a very complex problem. What is your solution?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Balance ledger revenue statements of when,where and who along with confirmation of the funds to that exact entity.. if not able to verify, they get no more funding and have to return what was erroneously distributed elsewhere...

I also lean toward improving the home country rather then bringing them into ours..

However that seems to become more and more of a problem.. the aid and money has to go through the criminals running these countries and they allow less and less funding actually be used for improvements..

My opinions on this immigration problem do change now and then.. but this is the way I feel now..

You're right about the cartels and criminals running 2d and 3d world countries. Now for the kicker: Is that any reason to allow our Country to be taken over by crooked politicians and lobbyists trying to feather their nests and rake off money like Nancy Pelosi and her accomplices have been doing? Jesus said, "The poor will always be with us." That's no reason to stop trying but let's do it in a way to bypass the crooks like you pointed out is happening in Mexico et al.

Well, think about your question and what the USA should do. Every year, the USA give hundreds of millions of dollars to Mexico. Every year for decades the USA has made deals with Mexico with the greater benefits going to Mexico. Every year, the USA adds many hundreds of thousands of poor Mexicans to our country, who, in turn, costs American taxpayers hundreds of millions annually, not to mention the harm done to our society and country. Every year, the Mexicans living in our country move tens of billions of our money out of our country in remittances back home to Mexico. Keep in mind that this is money from which the USA receives nothing. It is the equivalent of stolen money, but money that corrupt nation loves getting and counts on, US dollars for which Mexico gives nothing in return. This very same operation is duplicated in the relationships of other nations and the USA, such as Honduras, Guatemala, etc. These corrupt third world cesspit nations and their people have a great scam going here, exploiting America and Americans. Except the greatest scamming of the American people is being done by our very own congresses/governments, our own pro-immigration/no borders citizens, the many tens of millions of foreign non-citizens (legal and illegal) living here at our great expense, the socialists, the globalists, etc. Meanwhile, the USA has an insane, unpayable, constantly increasing national debt. But our congresses, especially the Democrat crowd, keeps right on subsidizing the other nations of the world, keeps right on adding millions of their poorest/most burdensome citizens to our country annually, keeps right on giving those foreign non-citizens of our nation most of the rights/benefits of actual US citizens while requiring nothing if them while allowing them to steal tens of billions of our money annually to send home to their nations. Yep, a scam to be envied by every thief and con artist in the world.
