As in the House of Representatives, currently under Republican control. Objectively speaking, the present term has been an unmitigated disaster of distraction politics, in-fighting and mudslinging, attacking the president, his family and anyone else, while ignoring real-life domestic issues and policy. McCarthy's speakership is in peril and actually may hang on centrist Democrats saving him from his own party.
A couple of you (you know who you are) who endorsed a "red wave"....was it worth it? Is the chaos what you want?

Having the government shutdown for a few days is hardly the end of USA. It’s happened several times before, we will survive.
On the other hand, allowing 8-10 million illegals to sneak across our border, yes that can and will be the end of our country. Meanwhile Charles Schumer and AOC are asking, “it Texas blue yet?”

Meanwhile Charles Schumer and AOC are asking, “it Texas blue yet?” What an asinine and out of touch with reality statement. Incredibly dense and selfish, too. But hey, as long as you're good, right? The world revolves around your violin, obviously. As many as four million workers stand to lose pay. Federal contractors who are affected won't get their back pay at all. Flights? Further delays. Air traffic controllers? Furloughed. TSA? Forced to work without pay. Thousands of children under the Head Start Program are also at risk of losing their access. Preschoolers. You must think immigration started yesterday. Your hateful views (none of which are based on anything purposely factual) are noted, but your Boogeyman doesn't exist. There are millions of undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States. It's been this way for decades. Undocumented immigrants put food on your table. I'm sure you'll be just fine, though. Sick. |

Hopefully the affected workers have some money saved up, I realize that is tougher now given the Biden economy. Frankly there is going to be no sympathy from this musician, we were furloughed for over two years and it’s not like we’re are hip deep right now in gigs. Meanwhile the Biden people, their performance on the border is pathetic. Hundreds of deaths of people drowning in the Rio Grande. Murderers, child traffickers, rapists, violent criminals are just allowed to walk right into Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California,that is absolutely insane. What good is funding a Border Patrol, when they are told to stand down by the Biden Administration and not perform their sworn duties? All in a effort to make Texas blue. |

You could have thought before you typed this out. I thought. Then you should have thought harder. Because it's lacking foundation. And ignores common sense reality. You're never going to stamp out immigration. Ever. It takes two parties to agree on common sense immigration reform. You're more than twice as likely to be harmed by a US citizen than an immigrant. The paranoia and hysterics are Republican hallmarks. They don't want solutions, they want to paint pictures that distort reality. In reality, they don't care about immigrants or immigration at all. They just want to expand the cruelty. |

I also know that they're not all bad people. The same goes for all aspects of life, but maybe YOU should have thought about what YOU posted before simply stating that's it's a reality and legal immigrants are more likely to commit crimes than illegals. Imagine the extra fury, if you can, knowing that it was a person who was not here legally. Not good. |

I don't believe in myopic and misguided examples that excuse hateful views and ignore the realities of a complex system that is irretrievably broken, largely due to Republican inaction. It's very easy to blame, it's not easy at all to be accountable. |

You literally just glossed right over the tragedy that I was referring to and basically said, "Meh, s**t happens both domestically and foreign." "They're myopic and misguided views." Sheesh. No bud, they're real and it shouldn't happen, but yeah, I know you can't prevent it. That doesn't mean it's ok. When I was in Construction in my 30's and 40's, I constantly heard illegal immigrant workers say that they knew this person, or that person who committed a crime and were bold enough to do it, because they knew they could just go back across the border before being caught. Their bravado is heightened, because of that fact. They're bolder. That's what happened to one of my good friends siblings. He was killed by someone here illegally, and simply crossed back over the border, and was never found. It was horrible. People who are trying to cross the border and are killed while doing it, just to better their lives, is very tragic as well. It's a sensitive and complicated subject, but you should have more compassion for the ones killed here by illegals, as well. Not just the illegals that are killed at the border. |

You have children being shot on the streets. You have children being shot in schools. When you take a comprehensive look at numbers and stop spreading useless fearmongering propaganda, you realize that our own domestic issues are far more common, far more pressing and far more extreme. Now you're going to use another completely anecdotal story. It's the same thing every single time. I'm sorry that you were affected by violence. It's terrible. But it doesn't change the reality that the problem is the *system* by and large, not the isolated rogue actor. The coordinated attack is just another way to paint hatred towards immigrants and prop up old stereotypes. We need to evolve and place blame where it belongs. |

Where you got your statistic concerning the 2-1 ratio of crimes committed by legals to illegals, it also states that the illegals have another incentive to not commit a crime and that's for fear of being deported. That's a real thing, that they feel that way, so that skews those results. |

But, you can't see what you don't want to see. About the study, like I said, there's the fact that there's a real fear for any illegal to commit a time because of deportation. That skews the results of the study. |

You have these archaic and simplistic takes, weirdly bent towards hot button issues that you frankly don't grasp. Here's the sad reality of life: Restraining orders don't stop domestic violence. Familial intervention doesn't stop mass shootings. Crime was/is/will continue to be a thing because it just is the way of society, unfortunately. Immigration, likewise, is never going to cease to exist. Poverty, crime, oppression, opportunity....these things are real. Much more so than your hypothetical scenarios that you're trying to drum up answers for and invalidate data that disproves your theories. Long and short answer: American citizens commit far more crime than immigrants do. If you're scared of immigrants, then maybe the problem isn't them. |

Talk about not being able to grasp something. Wow. And yeah, some things are that simple, but you always seem to want to bring more into the equation when it's really a simple situation. Not for you though. You want to bring in more issues than need be to TRY and prove your point. For you to take it in stride and basically say that it's not a big deal that it was a crime from someone illegally here, is very callous towards those victims. Get over yourself. It's not admirable. |

Never said it wasn't a big deal. I said you're not going to prevent it and isolated incidents will always occur, as crime is inevitable. You're ignoring the larger issue, as always, selectively and anecdotally trying to capitalize on something that is exceedingly rare. I don't care about your admirability in the slightest, just like your hollow values that contradict pretty much everything you say. I don't want this to become a referendum on racism, so I'm going to leave it at that and point you to the numerous fact-based studies that indicate we should be more focused on our own streets than we are about immigrants. Don't let a manufactured crisis get in the way of reality. |

You have a passion for taking things to the next level ridiculousness. Example: I never said it was an indictment on all immigrants, or that I'm scared of immigrants. I'm all for people trying to better their lives, but you blow things way out of proportion on a regular basis. I get it. I'm used to your schtick. You actually think my thought process is, "Hey, was the guy illegal?" Sheesh. You're only HOPING that was the case so you can paint everybody who doesn't share your OPINIONS, as an a'hole. Of course it's frustrating for EVERY family, but if you can't see the frustration of it happening from someone that was here ILLEGALLY, then there's no hope for you. Talk about not being able to grasp something. Wow. And yeah, some things are that simple, but you always seem to want to bring more into the equation when it's really a simple situation. Not for you though. You want to bring in more issues than need be to TRY and prove your point. For you to take it in stride and basically say that it's not a big deal that it was a crime from someone illegally here, is very callous towards those victims. Get over yourself. It's not admirable. Never said it wasn't a big deal. I said you're not going to prevent it and isolated incidents will always occur, as crime is inevitable. You're ignoring the larger issue, as always, selectively and anecdotally trying to capitalize on something that is exceedingly rare. I don't care about your admirability in the slightest, just like your hollow values that contradict pretty much everything you say.

Don't let a manufactured crisis get in the way of reality. Oh, ok. So, it's ok if you use rare occurrences, but not when I do. Perfect. Ok, Mr Passive Aggressive , you might as well go ahead and insinuate that I'm a racist. It wouldn't be your first time for myself, and others. It's just the typical you, using labels so loosely. I understand why you're afraid to talk about individual/isolated incidents since it doesn't fit your overall narrative. It's really obvious what you do. Have at it. |
