So little kids are sleeping under those silver sheets outside(no pouring rain in evidence). You know the drill: if you see it on t.v. it's horrific. Well, they only have 2.3 seconds to get the point across. So now, get this. (I missed the first part where they mentioned the requirers)some outfit is requesting 4.5 billion(I think that's what I heard) to build better shelters for the millions of asylum seekers. I billion here and a billion there...I don't even like Mexican food. Well, that's not really true. I love Mexican food(I would drive to Tuscon for real Mex, but that's not the point. How does a nation that has created so much bend over and absorb millions of indians who do nothing besides cut grass and wash windows?

I suspect you know the answer to that question. They also pack meat, milk cows, pick fruits and veggies, tar roofs, fix cars, drive nails, lay carpet, and the list goes on. For all of the noise about welfare benefits, those people come here primarily to work. That's why US business loves them. Just like the China trade, the real culprit in all of this is the short-sighted nature of US business culture.Last edited by togor; 05-15-2019, 05:19. -
One of my great grandmothers was a Keough. When the Keoughs arrived at New Orleans on a "coffin ship" they were desperate for work, so they went into the swamps to build the levees and dig the canals. The work had been started by slaves, but they died so fast that the city could no longer rent slaves. The Irish died from disease so fast they had a dispensation to bury their dead in mass graves.
Pardon me if I don't weep over these current asylum seekers and their treatment.Comment

if the idea is temp housing, (building a structure says permanent to me) then why not divert all those FEMA trailers used for hurricanes etc to the area,
or have the military supply better quality tents ?
surely one or more supply depots can have a few trailers sent down,,,Comment

Things can't be too bad since they aren't going "home" and probably much better than where they came from and yet they multiply like there's no tomorrow.Comment

Here is the link- Lord knows we need money for diapers.
But while looking for this I found another story that involves 4.5 billion. This is part of the bribery money we spend to try and convince Hondurans ect. to stay home
Here is the link-
We could all be driving Bentleys if we just kept our money away from the government.Last edited by dryheat; 05-15-2019, 11:57.If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.Comment

Well... you might be right dryheat.... especially since we are going to cut a 12 billion + dollar check to the farmers for the second year in a row because we need their vote ,
slightly tongue in cheek.... but maybe we should buy more agriculture from South America so's our farmers don't need their labor .
That might free up more Americans to come work for meComment

The writer didn't seem to think 4.5 billion was a lot of money. More of a token gesture than anything else.If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.Comment
