And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing.  The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so.  It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up.  Instead we should be looking to help those countries.  But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.[/quote]

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.[/quote]

Nope, that "Mexico offered to take them in" narrative was utter and complete bullshit.  Numerous reporters and others tried following up on that and even went with refugees as they tried getting visas and legal asylum in Mexico and saw that they were getting absolutely nowhere with Mexican officials.  There were many reports on this, video accounts of their attempts to get papers, et cetera.  [b]Mexico was refusing them. [/b] [/quote]
Even if so, why should we except hundreds of thousands of economic dead weight migrants who don't even speak that language that they need to get employed in the US?[/quote]

Your great grandparents quite likely came to America as economic migrants unable to speak the language.[/quote]
You missed. I am the first generation of my family living abroad. I came here legally loaded with high potential - high education,  clean criminal record, no socially dangerous diseases.
An this is how it suppose to be.
And if my grandparents would be blessed to immigrate to this country they would not have a dime of freebies that ''refugees'' get plenty of these days. They would have survives on their own the best they could - just like millions of others who immigrated back in a day. You missed again.[/quote]

Wow, you are so full of bogus talking points.  Illegal immigrants are ineligible for federal "freebies" and as far as diseases we have a far bigger problem with nutty US citizen antivaxxers than we do with migrants. [/quote]  You have no idea how the legal immigration process works. 
Every LEGAL immigrant is checked for HIV, TB, syphilitic  by default, and for other spreadable deceases such as leprosy (if there is known pool in the country of origin) . 
Every LEGAL immigrant is required to have a minimum $ to support each family member for a year - $12.5 K x 12 months MINIMUM. Until he finds a job.
Every LEGAL immigrant is required  the proof of the clean criminal record.
Every LEGAL immigrant is required the proof of college education or a profession that is in demand in the US (floating demand). 
You have no idea how the immigration law works but you have guts to speak about it, which is stupid.
Go to any low prices store such as Save a Lot and see for yourself what your beloved ''ineligible for fed benefits'' pay with for the groceries that they buy - the yellow food stamps card. 
Go to any section 8  housing development in MD or MoCo and see who lives there - same ''ineligible for fed benefits''. You know how much they pay for a nice 2 br apartment? $10-$60 range a month. 
Go to any school in MD and MoCo and see who's kids  have free lunches and ESOL services.

You and your ilk make it very hard for legal immigrants to get processed because illegals jam immigration courts with their fake asylum claims. But guess what? Every legal immigrant in this country see what liberals are doing to them and they are not on their - your -  side.

People who come to the border, seeking asylum, are NOT "illegals." Cutting aid to their home countries will not solve that problem. Building a wall will not solve that problem. Ending the Family Case Management Program did not solve that problem. Limiting the number of refugees did not solve that problem.

NOTHING TRUMP HAS DONE OR SUGGESTS ADDRESSES THE REAL ISSUES. All he does on this issue is pander to a cruel, ignorant, angry base. It's gross.[/quote]

Have you urged your Congress critters to work with President Trump on the real issues? [b]Congress legislates.[/b][/quote]

Except when they're Republicans, I guess. And who can "work with President Trump"? How many times has he agreed to something with Congress only to take it back a few days/weeks/months later? [/quote]
