What are your thoughts on worldwide immigration?

Let’s talk about immigration… specifically about those fleeing wars and other terrors, including famine and an economy so bad their children are starving.

Do you feel like a country (any country, but specifically yours) has a responsibility to take in, humanly care for, shelter, and rehome (keep them in your country) these immigrants?

Should there be a global standard or should each country be on its own to do as it wishes in regard to immigrants fleeing wars/terror and abject poverty/hunger?

I say this as someone who has volunteered in shelters, with homeless. I used to get angry at right-wingers who claimed that we put others ahead of citizens who are struggling or homeless. After volunteering for the last 30 years and seeing even veterans in our kitchens, I feel that before we give anything to anyone else, we need to make sure that our citizens who are in need are fed and provided with housing. It kills me that in a city of [b]billionaires[/b], there are even folks with children, sleeping on the streets.

@bijouxbroussard I don't disagree - I've seen it myself, volunteer in shelters and know the problems we face at home, but that too is solvable.

@Ontheroad So why won’t we solve it ? What’s getting in our way ? 🥺

@bijouxbroussard The will. Nothing but the will. Well, a bit of the milk of human kindness AND the will... we have everything else.
