on food stamps? -- j

good idea, Herb -- a variation on 3rd country
punishment ... rendition ... of prisoners! -- j

No shit.

No matter what the government wants, its 99% bad all of the time.

It USED to be that immigrants came here because they wanted to fit into OUR culture and ways of living. Now it seems that they just are into taking what we have, but they could care less about our society- not even our language.

The people who voted for him got CHANGE. They forgot to ask what kind of CHANGE he was going to give them. I say he is aligned with muslim thinking and socialism- while saying he doesnt. He lies.

If you Really don't like Muslims, please consider taking it out on the present administration. Their forgiving attitude and refusal to call radicals jihadists make things worse rather than better. I think that future historians will look at Obama and say that America elected it's own executioner. -- Twice!

I have many issues with the various refugee programs, running the gamut from cost to who is brought in.

But here is one thing that really ticks me off. We allegedly bring all these people here because they will be killed if they remain where they are right?

If that's the case why do the go back and forth to their country of origin for months at a time?
If they are able to do that with no problem why are we giving them refugee status and all the valuta that comes with it?

Only one of the many things wrong with the refugee programs.

LOL

Sounds like the time for a Constitutional Convention is at hand. There are legislators in 40 states working to call for the CC under Article V, and it only takes 34. Get in touch with your state legislators and attorneys general, and let's get this thing going. The President can't stop it, nor can Congress or the Federal Judiciary.l

No wonder people want to live among others who are in the same tribe

I don't understand letting people show up here to then get on welfare PERMANENTLY (or at all for that matter)... this country has done itself in in the name of being compassionate.

And I can think of something to get while there.

No, new thought. Get galoshes online.
Then go to Walmart. Yet still after geting those shots, of course.

At 1.5 billion Muslims, you don't have much choice in the matter. It is said that only 20% are jihadists, but that's around 300 million a pretty big number..

I did think of a burka a moment after I made the topside post.

Evidently the stew on the floor was an indication of lack of assimilation...!

Yes. Get your shots before going to Wal-Mart in St.Paul.

The women wear like 5 layers of skirts.. they just squat, walk away and leave their landmines behind! Then their faces are all covered so you can't tell who did it..

yes, M'emma, and I contributed (have emphysema)
and also feel frustrated. . . now, contacting elected
reps about this and "net neutrality" -- hav'ta keep pushing. -- j

Excellent analogy with the Gas Laws of Equilibrium. That is the key for movement of labor. Just like the migration of job seekers to North Dakota and the Permian Basin of Texas/New Mexico. Eventually it will equalize out and fewer people will migrate to those areas. When it hits the wall, those people will move somewhere else for employment. All this started with the migrant laborers back in the 60's in the fields of California and other places. They saw the standard of living that was better than what they had back home and they wanted it, so they stayed. Then relatives saw that those people were living better and sending money back home and they wanted the same thing, so they came and stayed. So on and so on until, BOOM, you have 11 or 18 million undocumented people across the border. It is not just Democrats or Republicans, they are all complicit in this happening. Of course they made the problem and now they are saying they can fix the problem they compounded. More and more regulations and laws to fix what they have brought forth upon the legal citizens of the United States.

Is 3 for 1 a sufficient ratio to actually make a dent in that group here?

Now THAT is a good idea... they are so keen on 'saving the world'.. they wouldn't last a day.

Why don't we make it an exchange program? For every Somali they send here, we send them three of our left wing protesters. Could be a win-win.
