1 yIf you don’t like the immigrant crime rate, wait til you hear that American citizens commit significantly MORE crime😱😱😱
The good news is, in this upcoming 2016 election, Donald Trump has promised to build a big, beautiful wall, and MEXICO, not America, will pay for it! Should be completed in his first term, by 2020!
Oh, wait…. what’s that? I think…. I think my watch must be broken. Turns out that timeline already passed and none of that was accomplished🤔

I know the “Muslim rape gangs” story is hot in the streets right now, and I’m not up on the veracity of it, but we’re talking about America, and largely Central and South American migrants who are NOT forming rape gangs.
You can’t live life in irrational fear of people who are different from you, man. We can’t assume certain cultures are dangerous, none of that. All that makes somebody a bad person, so we really shouldn’t lean into any sentiments of that sort, for the sake of decency.
You can’t just assume immigrants are bad news on a wholesale level, that’s a terrible way to think, even if you get some isolated incidents of wrongdoing. It makes you look racist/culture-ist. - 1 y
They sure as hell well if you let enough of those type of people in the country.
Actually yes, certain cultures are indeed dangerous. I would argue putting too many people from Denmark into United States would drastically alter our free speech protections and I would not like that. People from Denmark have absolutely no concept of the importance of letting people from the KKK march in public, they think the open marketplace of ideas is a joke.
People from South America tend to be more used to corruption and are susceptible to it themselves because they view nepotism as more socially acceptable.
Put in enough people from the Middle East and soon you will get people executed for drawing Mohammed.
Yes, immigrants from anywhere that are just let in en-mass is BAD. Nation ending bad. - 1 y
Racism has a very clear definition that I am aware of and I have not ever crossed that line. It's not even scientific either, something like more melanin in your skin is a fucking arbitrary phenotype.
I really have no time for the scientifically illiterate or people who underestimate my intelligence. - 1 y

@WhiteSteve Yeah, those Venezuelan gangs Biden left in are boy scouts, as are the Cartel members, drug runners, sex traffickers, murderers, rapists, and moochers on the taxpayers. 🙄 Out of 15 million probably 1/2 are miscreants.

@Daniela1982 We don’t have the statistical information to even begin saying that’s true. No stats to say there are 15 million, no stats to say that they’re miscreants. We can’t just make this stuff up as we go. Also, the most important part of this is the humanitarian cause, not selfish fear for ourselves.
You need to understand that you’re being terribly, TERRIBLY misinformed about this whole issue, both the numbers and the severity of the impact. This is a Republican Boogeyman first-stringer, maybe even the star and captain of the team. They RELY on this panic to get you activated to vote, and to support the wrong people and causes. With all due respect, because you seem like a nice enough gal despite our political disagreements, you’re being conned, trying appeal to fears of foreign cultures and people, fear of reduced prosperity, fear of change in lifestyle, and abusing your probably mostly-well-meaning moral codes and maybe religious piety. Honestly, not for nothing, probably some of the most devoutly religious people I know are from the very same neck of the woods as a lot of the migrants. You have to wonder “What would Jesus do?” when it comes to the border. Something tells me he wouldn’t have engaged in xenophobia and hatred, and turned his back on people in need, I don’t think any of that is what he’d have stood for. - 1 y
@Daniela1982 If some bad eggs got through, that’s entirely possible. But again, they’re no worse and certainly no more numerous than our American-born criminals. Absolutely ZERO evidence to support any claim to the contrary. Why are we MORE upset when a migrant commits a crime than if an American commits the same one? Also…. if you catch a felony as a migrant, you’re gone, back to where you came from…and the whole point of migrating was to GET HERE. Why would you go and do something to get yourself booted after an intercontinental trek to escape? And a SWAT Team from a small town in Rhode Island can probably still take down a supposed cartel holed up in a motel if it came down to it, let alone the Feds. Don’t worry about anyone taking us over. And don’t worry about anyone voting either, that’s also “not a thing” that Republicans desperately want you to believe IS.
Please, please, PLEASE remember that, since January 20, 2021, The Republicans and their propaganda arms of the news (FoxNews, NewsMax, and myriad independent propagandists like Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Breitbart, Daily Mail and your Ben Shapiro tree of grifters, etc, etc, etc), solely exist to create the illusion that things are as bad as they want people to think, and that Joe Biden is the worst thing to ever happen to the USA. Like that’s it, that’s the whole game. And people consume it, believe it, and spread it, because it tells them what they wanted to hear. Now it spreads further in meme form on Facebook or Reddit or wherever, and now we just are left with this terrible problem where half of America thinks they live in a dystopian hellscape that they DON’T. But they get told “no, we ARE! We SWEAR! Look at this meme my Aunt Lorraine posted!”, like that’s some kind of valid indicator or proof of anything🤦♂️😂 - 1 y
@Daniela1982 It’s safe to say that most of what Americans think about Joe Biden is poorly-sourced. It’s a whole separate discussion I won’t start defending the position of here, but the reality is that Joe Biden has done a pretty decent job overall. We’ve recovered faster and better from the economic impacts of the pandemic than any other country. Like whatever you think is bad here…gas, groceries, real estate…. its SO MUCH WORSE elsewhere. And some of the problems we DO have are actually corporate-greed-influenced, not a result of governmental mismanagement.
The thing I’m most mad and fearful about in America today is my fellow countrymen’s apparent collective inability to perceive and analyze reality, and to fall for mis- and disinformation put out with political gain in my mind. Most REPUBLICANS don’t even like Trump, but they’re beholden to him because he generates the political participation with a new faction of voters.
Republican social policy is broadly unpopular nationwide, so they need to counter that disadvantage somehow with increased voter turnout, and Trump is the only one who’s shown he could do it. So now, the voting is been brought closer to even, by these absolute RUBES, who CLEARLY have NO MF’in CLUE what they’re talking about. Follow-up questions or requests to intelligent explain why they hold their political opinions are their Kryptonite. They just know that they’re selfish and greedy, or they’re xenophobic, or they’re bigoted, and Trump made that shit cool to say out loud again, so they LOVE HIM. And many of them adopt this cult member-cult leader relationship with him, and they’ll defend his every move to the death, whether it makes sense or not, whether they even know what they’re talking about or not. “Trump said it, so it’s inherently good, and I wholeheartedly believe him and believe in it.”

@Daniela1982 That’s a DANGEROUS place to be, because now you’ll believe anything as long as this guy or people supporting him say it. Like almost all of the crazy things people seem to believe these days, they believe it because Trump said, and they just haven’t been able to figure out that this guy is a liar and a con man yet. There is literally no better way to misinform yourself in America today than to listen to Trump’s words and believe them. Like that’s LITERALLY the entire problem. If people stopped doing that, then we aren’t where we’re at today.
It’s just so maddening trying to have legitimate political discourse after 2015 when we have so many people taking Trump as a reliable source of information. It will forever baffle me how you guys either don’t see it or are able to willfully self-delude enough to pretend you don’t. The fact that all politicians are usually liars provides SOME cover, I get that, but he’s just so whacked out in everything he says, I just don’t understand how anyone could buy what he’s selling.
I walk out the door everyday, and literally none of the things I’m told are rampant social issues are happening. Must be in some other town….. and that’s how they get you. You don’t see it, but you think it’s on the way. Great news! It’s not. None of it is. It’s all fabricated. Sleep easy tonight👍 - 1 y
@WhiteSteve And this is fabricated too?

@Daniela1982 Daniela, I go to NYC very frequently. One of my good friends was an officer with the NYPD until recently. This is greatly exaggerated. Rent in a subway kiosk is NUTS. That’s why a bottle of water is $5, lmao. You can buy anything you need cheaper above ground and bring it down with you. And no one reads newspapers anymore, that was the big attraction back in the day. Pick up the paper, get coffee, a danish, probably cigarettes lmao, a bag of peanuts for later.
I also live in Boston, we have our own subway too, and people hate it, but because it’s always getting delayed and it makes people late for work, lmao. Crazy shit has always happened in the subway. I LOVED riding the subway as a kid, because that’s when you’d see crazy shit lmao, and a lot of that was the Reagan or Bush The First years. And it continued during Clinton. The point is: none of our social conditions are all that contingent upon government. We like to think it’s controllable, but human beings are wild animals that we’re trying to force to be domesticated. It’ll never flawlessly work, by nature, but we don’t like it and endeavor to stop it, so we negatively rebrand it as “crime.” But it’s unstoppable, we need to radically accept that to some degree. - 1 y
@Daniela1982 I’m not sure where you live, but as someone who ventures into the thick of urbanity ALL THE TIME, again, you’re being disinformed with deliberate mischaracterizations and deceptive propaganda techniques. Not saying absolutely nothing is happening, but I’m saying what is happening is getting blown out of proportion for political purposes. Not for nothing, a lot of it comes down to what states monetarily quantify as a felony. In New Jersey, it’s only $200 to catch a felony larceny charge. 22 states, including New York, and plus Washington, DC have the most common threshold, $1,000. California is actually slightly below that, at $950. You know who allows you to steal the MOST before it’s a felony? Hope you’re sitting down for this…. TEXAS (and also purple state Wisconsin), at a whopping $2,500 threshold. I could go down to a Texas Home Depot and drive off on one of the riding lawnmowers displayed out front and get either a slap on the wrist or a free lawnmower. Hell, deep red South Carolina will even let you get away with $2,000. So don’t buy this narrative of “red state = tough on crime; blue state = soft on crime.”
I don’t have time today to watch the entirety of your videos, but I buzzed through a few minutes of each. We can’t confirm that just random shots of crowds of people standing around or gang-shoplifting are migrants. And newsflash: big cities have poverty, poverty leads to desperation, and desperation leads to crime. We should be addressing root causes of poverty, I wish we had more energy for that instead of spending it on making YouTube videos of questionable veracity to make people xenophobic and distrustful of government institutions, SHEESH. - 1 y
Thats true, Jux, it’s famously incredibly easy to escape poverty🙄🤦♂️
- 1 y
That’s not mutually exclusive to there being root causes we could be analyzing and compassionately addressing🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ If we’re just gonna be heartless and every-man-for-himself, no mercy, no excuses, then we might as well abandon society altogether, if there’s no room for empathy. If you don’t have empathy, you’re no better than a wild animal.

I am all for helping people get out of bad situations but if they put themselves knowingly in a bad situation? Fuck them.
I don't feel sorry for people who get addicted to drugs. I don't feel sorry for people who commit crime. They are grown ass adults and chose that path for themselves. Especially if you steal my bike or something, fuck you in PARTICULAR. - 1 y
I don’t know, man, I understand the resentment towards a thief, but I think your thought is too shallow and black-and-white on this. The very sources of social problems in general are very complex and nuanced, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. I think we fail as humans if we just take the easy, thoughtless way of doing things, and just pulling offenders out of the mix and putting them in time out. I don’t think that benefits the offender when they return to society, and it doesn’t really benefit society that much, either, because most people won’t even know of that specific case to take it as a warning to not do the same. And we already know law and prison and all that exist, yet crime still happens, so none of that is any reliable deterrent. Humans are gonna wild out if they feel like it, and we can try to punish them after the fact, but there’s another guy right behind him waiting to wild out next. You’ll never, EVER catch up; you’ll never, EVER win. Humans are what they are, but they’re also malleable relative to what they experience in life. So I’m just saying I think I more compassionate outlook towards fellow humans leads to a more caring environment, a more caring environment leads to better psychological profiles, and better psychological profiles lead to better socioeconomic outcomes. We can’t just be lazy thinkers and say “fuck you if you fuck up, no further questions, you’re gone.” That sounds like something they’d do in China, lmao.

1 yhaha I guess, ain't it a riot? Fun times... reminds me of one of the Chinese Dynastys, they built a big brick... blah blha... you know the story...

Trump started the wall but Biden halted it and sold the parts off as scrap. Then he invited them all in while Trump had them wait in Mexico.
Do you believe Biden when he’s said he can do all he can do with the border?
