Its Greek to me or maybe something else

Immigrantis will poison our blood Flotillis nonabzorba—a flood Trumpcissus doth speak And shall bear this critique “Thou orate constantinely such crud!”

Interesting one Duke I remember seeing a report about a doctor and his family fleeing a war torn country, it was not like he was trying to get free handouts but was fleeing to survive. I think anyone would do the same to protect their family. Tom

Tom, yes, I think people are desperate and just want to live in peace. If we could help them have it, the last thing they would think of is coming here. Thanks.

I get this, but I think the media is blowing it up and making too big a deal over it. i understand what he's talking about. he just chose the wrong words to convey his message. With over 5,000 illegals swarming into the US a day, and they get 3,000 a month dollars to live on, I cannot understand the logic in this. homeless do not get stuff. our disabled vets are treated worse than illegals. I just hate both Trump and Biden and wish a decent person could run for president.

I do not know if you are religious or not. I am not, yet I do believe in a lot of things like Revelations and how bad the world is going to get. I think we are in the end times, and Jesus will come down. It's the only way out of the hell that people have created on this earth. Also more calamities are coming before Jesus ever shows up. One very interesting event to me is the conflict between Israel and the terrorists who are such barbarians. Revelations says all the world will turn against Israel in the last days. I am amazed by the number of people who have become VERY anti-jews. Seriously, they are feeding right into John's narrative of the Jews in the last days

He probably chose those words to get more attention as well. While the problem is a large one and it has deep roots, helping to make people's lives better where they live (a global view of things) might work better. Thanks for your comment. It's an interesting discussion. I could always be wrong, but I see a lot of cruelty that has gone on for a long time, and we don't learn from history and try to break that chain.

I will say no more on your reply regarding Biden except that my opinion on what Biden is doing to this county is not one that you would believe. Regarding immigration, I remember a video I once saw in which a guy was comparing all the poor of the world to those balls of gum in gumball machines. He had many many rows of them and on top of the gumball machines were many other ones. He took out bubble gum from just one out of hundreds of those machines, and he said, "To give a good life to others in need, can you see that all these bubble gum machine represent the entire world in need. There is no way we can help even 1/10000 of the world. Sadly, I hear that it's not so many Mexicans coming through the border as it is different people such as Arabs who went to Mexico just to pass to uSA . I wonder if terrorists are getting into our country. The Trojan horse idea comes to my mind.

Andrea, your comment is appreciated. For someone to risk their life to get here says a lot about how bad life gets in some places. Can we encourage livable conditions where people currently reside? That would address he root cause of much illegal immigration. Comments made by DT bear an unfortunate similarity to those made leading to Nazi Germany. While Biden is old, unpopular, and not charismatic, at least he understands the basic value of a democracy and respects the Constitution. On the other hand DT praises North Korean, Chinese, and Russian dictators and would try to run this country like they run theirs. Biden is working with Congress to organize funding for boarder security.
