I don't think that helping our own is socialism. That's like saying if someone puts family first that makes them a socialist? Idk.

Happy to oblige

Let them go back , start a revolution like the colonists did roughly 240 years ago. That's what one of the reasons learning history is for.

@RobertMartin ...concur to some extent... ...I have often said the thing, "we will keep all women and children...men(dominant gender in many of these societies) need to go back...straighten this stuff out, make your country livable again"....trouble is that the American cards are stacked against them...there are few ways they can fight against the American backed governments, few ways they can fight the resultant cartels...

@ToolGuy the key word here is my country, not me personally.

Was in a war youw?

@bobwjr no

Our military and our homeless come first. Once that's done, then foreigners.

@RobertMartin We could have helped a lot of those veterans with the money he used for his egotistical parade...and, the problems with veterans happened way before this crisis at the border...if tRump cared about the vets, they would have been taken care of first...do you honestly think he cares anything about them given his disrespect for them and his ignorance of what they even do? No one respects that draft dodger...

@thinktwice what did Obama do? What did Bush do? Neither one of them stepped up either.

@thinktwice give them hell honey I'm with you. Your dad was a vet my dad son cousins uncles great uncle all vets great great grandad fought under Grant at Vicksburg

The other people are illegal immigrants that need to go home. They can return legally, get a green card then eventually take the citizenship test.

@RobertMartin they are trying to seek asylum...we can't process them...our system is broken...nice way to deflect...guess it means you agree with child abuse and treating humans like dogs...

@thinktwice let them fix their own country, the same way the colonists revolted against England some 240 years ago.

@RobertMartin We have caused most of the problems in those countries...again, you deflect...

@thinktwice yeah, ok. I guess sending billions in foreign aid causes problems. If that is the case, we can stop sending the money and help our veterans and homeless people and fix our infrastructure.

@RobertMartin
Do your research. The US's interference in Central America is what created this situation in the first place. Corporste monoculture agriculture destroyed local economies. We, politically and militarily backed right wing despots who bled there own countries dry and created paramilitary organizations that inflict heinous violence upon the population. We provided the weapons that terrorized their people. Then when an attempt at democracy was tried, the economy was already destroyed, so the paramilitary turned to gangs and cultivating the drug trade and now run the economy. We did that.

@t1nick He's only working with a luke warm IQ, cut him some slack.

I'm not ashamed one bit.

@RobertMartin
You should be.

@RobertMartin

Here I did the research for you:

[medium.com]

@t1nick why?

@RobertMartin

Lack of empathy for the human condition. Lack of concern for the treatment of children. Conflating the collective "they" as a conservative talking point and statistic and ignoring their simple humanity. You "have", they "have not" and you are unwilling to share the simple basic rudiments that we expect and experience.

Did you read the research article I sent you?
