So where do we stand on the group of people traveling north to America ?

A country has the right to close its own boarders .
And if you have thousands that claim to be getting away from bad governments / etc ......fix it.
Are we required to let them in ?
The wall ...... for everyone that is up in arms about this , remember their was a HUGE divider for a thousand years - The Rio Grande.

But that has all but dried up , so what if it is replaced now ?

Mexico offered them asylum, and they said No. If I were Mexico, I would be offended that they turned my country down.

@bijouxbroussard Mexico has a lot of problems, but it's worse in Guatemala, Honduras and especially El Salvador.

@SW-User Plus, Mexico is a larger country, and therefore the dangerous situations are easier to avoid because they're concentrated in certain areas of the nation. Those other places you named are much smaller and so it's pretty much the whole country that's unsafe to live in.
@SW-User And people from Mexico come here.

On the one hand I agree with the sentiment that they should fix their own countries but at the same time I can't help but think the US is largely responsible for the collapse of those countries in the first place.

@hippyjoe1955 Which is exactly the problem. The right-to-work laws are taking business away from Canada cos the corporations prefer being in America where they can shit on their own workers.

@BlueMetalChick No Right to Work is a good policy for everyone. We have already been over that. Move on.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@hippyjoe1955 You worded that in a confusing way. Are you in favor of or against right to work?

Keep them out at all costs.

@MaliaAgain International law calls for refugees to stay and apply in the first country they come too.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@TheProphet Correct. So therefore they'd be considered illegal occupants, because they were granted access to a nation, but left the former. An invader does so without the consent of the subsequent nation.

But then I'm just being retentive about words, I guess, because both of those are still in violation of a law or statute.

@MaliaAgain then they must cross at a border station.

If Soros did not fund them, I do not know what would have caused that many people to decide at one time to come here, and I think that they must come in like everyone else. Legally.

@Silverwings and you know Soros funded them from who/what?

They started in America and never left America.

@TheProphet there is no country called America.

The United States of America is a Country.

There are 2 Americas one North and one South.

Many countries in each.


Neither the declaration of independence or the constitution refer to America as a country.

There is a POTUS not a POTA or POA.
TheProphet · M
@UserNameSW You left out central america, and yes the US is known as America. And no there aren't many countries in north america, just 2 with canada being the other.
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
Central America is not a continent.

North America has 23 countries.

Needs to be done
The thing that bothers me most is that Trump has a bigger problem with where they are from than their legal status. He’s brought European workers here for his hotels and hasn’t always been efficient regarding their documentation. He’s even said plainly that he wants more European immigrants. And there are people here illegally from all over the world but his focus is on people of color. I don’t support illegal immigration, but I’m not singling out one demographic. The folks who stay on after their school or work visas have expired are cheating the system, too.
