Mass shootings are gonna have to happen somewhere. If you are all for them not being regulated, you should be perfectly fine with a mass shooting occurring at the supermarket you’re shopping at.

Or is it one of those, “I oppose gun legislation unless it might affect me” type of deals?

See how taking things to the extreme works and how silly it sounds? Do better. Be rational.

This is a ludicrous comparison in my opinion.  So, because I support the second amendment you are suggesting I am ok with mass shootings?  That is a non sequitur.  Second amendment folks are not necessarily against sensible legislation, but with over 400 million guns in the US thinking you can regulate away gun risk is ridiculous.  Yes, if there were ZERO guns in the US, we would not have gun violence, but that ship has sailed.  

Going out on a limb, it sounds like you support background checks/gun legislation on gun ownership but you are not worried about people coming across the border unvetted?  What am I missing?  They have to live somewhere once they are here, but "they probably won't move to my neighborhood so its ok"?  Sure, many immigrants want to work hard and just want a better life, but we simply don't know who is coming in because the system is so broken.  Are you ok with child traffickers, drug dealers, terrorists, Chinese spies, etc. crossing the border largely unchecked?  Cause if your are NOT ok with that, then shouldn't the US do what we can to secure our border like just about every other civilized country in the world?  

And even if every immigrant is a solid hard working citizen who will never commit a crime here we cannot handle an unlimited number (6 million in 2 years is a lot).  Even the richest country in world has a limit, we are after all $31.6T in debt! https://www.usdebtclock.org/

I keep contemplating selling the house I bought in late 70s and moving to where there is zero poverty, Zero illegal immigration, and zero taxes.

Also, there is zero free shit. Zero free food, zero free medical, dental, vision, and zero housing subsidies. You pay your way or die. Or do without. Or go somewhere else.

Oh yeah, and what you make goes in your pocket. 

America was officially done as a country when they allowed an illegal immigrant to become president.  That would be like Trump becoming president of a country like afghanistan.  It's done. It's over.  Not sure you can ever fix that...although Trump was doing a good job at.

Now america is more screwed with Obummer 3.0 than it was with Obummer 1 and 2.0.

There would be no need for organizations such as, Victims of Illegal Aliens if, immigration laws were taken seriously by our government. 

Cheap labor is no excuse for allowing the flow of migrants through our borders. They take the jobs nobody wants... There are hardly any non ethnic framers, roofers, sheet rockers on job sites anymore. To me, that’s a safety concern. If I yell “FIRE”, I’m willing to bet 80% of those workers just look at me and, say jes (yea, I spelled that correctly) while smiling at me. There’s a reason there are translators on their crews. Because, they wouldn’t understand me if  I didn’t speak Spanish. However, everyone else on my crew does not. 
 

Underbidding is another problem. They’ll work for $15 hr. Taking money out of the pockets of people who have always had to pay more for everything their entire lives. Companies that support cheap labor should be punished. It is illegal. 
 

But, but, They’re looking for better lives. Who doesn’t want a better life? Want to see what most are bringing to the table? On any large job site, take a look at the shape a Porta Potty is in one day after getting serviced. Total lack of hygiene, lack of respect for others. 
 

While I feel bad for many of them, with the lack of safety, disregard for others, most are not safe to work around. I would prefer not to have a scar on my forehead from a 2x4 that slid off a third story roof. I would prefer not to have several holes in my feet because some lazy ass couldn’t bend nails over on scrap wood.  I’ve had many injuries over the years working construction. Most of them were because of “other people”.

The US has no barrier to entry, therefore it's all trash and riff raff that comes.

Does Miss Venezuala or Miss El Salvador and their families sneak through the desert looking for free shit? No.

Most all who advocate for open borders and come and go policies are too dumb to realize why they are broke and poor and can't afford their own families, yet somehow feel it is fine to afford 100 kids that ain't theirs while doing without themselves.

Rich people aren't out feeding the poor unless it is a publicity stunt.

 People say they're not broke and illegals don't affect you. Have a mortgage? You're broke. Car payments? You're broke. Credit cards? You're broke. You're living on borrowed money. If you weren't broke, you don't need to borrow.

Americans are one hiccup from living in a tent.  Imagine all your creditors calling everything due, today. Could you pay it? 99%  would lose everyrhing they have because their wages are too low to afford life. 

Look how many can't even afford their own food. Not temporarily, but for generations...

America is one step from being Juarez or Tijuana.  If not already. 

"They want a better life for themselves".

Yes, with your money while Instantly turning a taxpayer paid 5 star resort hotel into a thrashed 3rd world graffiti covered dump.

Obama phones for illegals with free unlimited international talk and text.  Cell phones are luxury items, not charity items.. If they want to talk to relatives, start walking home or buy a greyhound to the border.

If there was no free shit in the US, nobody would come. Nobody.  No people with money rushing the border. 

Petro, do you think that if illegals did not do certain jobs, then legals would do those jobs at a much higer rate, and goods would...

Petro, do you think that if illegals did not do certain jobs, then legals would do those jobs at a much higer rate, and goods would be less?

 

I can't think of a single thing we need illegal immigrants for. All they do is cause problems and cost people money.

Do you know why a good handful of countries have no graffiti, no ghetto, no welfare people, and no taxes?

Because there is a barrier to enter.

On top of that, one in particular, you need to pay an entry fee of 500,000 liquid  into a bank, just to apply.  AND, you need a verifiable 12 month lease or a deed to property you own.

And that is just to apply.   In short, they seem to be fine with no riff raff.

Go back 50 years.  How did America function before it became a free for all?

I'll wait.

Meanwhile, why is it McDonalds employees in Japan, and Russia speak English, but in California you can't order a hamburger because they don't speak English?

Search back 15-20 years when ICE did a nationwide sweep of McDonald's and many were closed for a week because the whole staff was illegal.  I remember, and so does Pepperidge Farms.

I was taking one opinion to the extreme to show how silly it is to assume if X person has Y belief then they must also be okay with Z. Which isn’t true.

Yes I support stricter gun laws than what we currently have and I think it’s silly that some of those on the right think any legislation at all  on gun control is too scary to allow because it’s the first step toward disarmament. Every election, we see conservatives saying that Democrats will take our guns. Democrats controlled Congress and the Presidency for 2 years. Were there any massive gun laws passed? Some on the left that are more for an all out ban or confiscation are also silly. They don’t think rationally when they say that. They just think it can happen in the blink of an eye.

People coming here should certainly be vetted. I’ve never said otherwise.

Imagine how desperate you’d have to be to pack what belongings you could into bags you can carry and march north toward the US border with your wife and children in the hopes of a better life. Because the country you’re in sucks and no matter what you do, no matter how hard you work or how intelligent you are, the life for you and your children is going to be terrible. So you go to the land of opportunity. We have it so great here. Yes even those left wingers who like to constantly complain about how terrible it is. Our poorest population have it made in comparison to the thousands of Mexican families trying to come here for a better life. I can’t blame them for that.

Do you think they should get free health care? 
My wife and, I went several years without health insurance because we couldn’t afford it. We’ve always worked hard but, as an up and, coming  apprentice, I had a long ways to go on the financial ladder before being able to afford it. I had to get a couple teeth pulled because I couldn’t afford a root canal back then. Yet, my taxes are paying for someone with a fake social security number to get implants and, crowns. 
 

What are your thoughts on the immigrants in jail? Three squares and, a cot while our taxes that could be helping veterans, elderly and homeless is used to give them “a better life”. Did you read the article I posted on page 1? 

 How about standing in line with a grocery cart or, two and, pulling out an EBT (food stamp) card to pay for their food while some of us were rearranging bills to pay for our food. I see it all the time. Steak and, lobster while the next family has a cart full of canned goods and, Top Ramen.
 

Are you aware that Mexico does not allow foreigners with citizenship to vote or, even be on assistance? If they come here legally, they should face the same struggles  as everyone else. 
 

At the end of the day, our taxes should be used to help our own struggling citizens. Helping our people do better. Get help for those in need. Provide for those who do not have a means to take care of themselves. 
 

Why should Americans be treated as if they deserve less?

A lot to unpack here. Let me take it one at a time.

Nothing is ever free. But yes I do think they shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for medical expenses. Same with US citizens. What happened to you and your wife is not okay at all, and to think your situation is common in the wealthiest nation in the entire world is just mind boggling. Quality healthcare should not be a privilege for the wealthy. Your taxes are paying for a lot of things. We spent 300 million PER DAY for 20 years in Afghanistan. Many on the right often say, “Why are my taxes being used for X Y or Z overseas when we could help people here!?” But then when an idea is proposed to help people here, they say no we can’t do that.

If immigrants of any nation commit a crime in said nation, it only makes sense that they would serve the time in that nation. If there’s a mutual agreement between the two countries to have them serve out the sentence in their home country, then they can be extradited.

You are worried about people abusing the system. I get it. Those people are not the majority. 15% of welfare recipients are abusing it. Let’s round up though for the sake of this argument and say it’s 25%. I’m personally okay with 25% of people abusing it and 75% of people truly needing it to survive and better their lives. There are MUCH bigger fish to fry, but I’m perfectly fine with our government trying to find those 25% and dealing with it accordingly. Welfare fraud cost American tax payers an estimated 160 billion in 2020. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act cost the federal budget 130 billion yearly in corporate taxes alone. If we add in the massive cut for the top 1% as well, we vastly outnumber the welfare fraud cost. That is where the focus should be. That’s the bigger fish.

Well I said I have never seen a crime in my city but that's over. I picked up a bunch of fence panels at HomeDepot and noticed there is a ton of Mexicans standing in the parking lot waiting to get asked to work I guess. We had to stop and tighten straps when we noticed sparks flying from under multiple cars and a group of guys standing in front of each one acting like a wall to block from seeing them cutting off customers catalytic converters in broad daylight around lunch time about 200 yards from the Sheriff's station. Sparks flying. They saw us seeing them and started cussing us out and kind of charged at us aggressively.  We could of got some exercise but just eased away and my buddy called it in.  Atleast they just passed a bill to help stop it but dam pretty bold. The bums tried to move here not long ago but my city is so strict on littering that they didn't stay long so I'm sure this will get handled too. The cops are real dicks here but that means it's nice here still.

We all know who he’s talking about. And just his insanity rants all through this thread show his colors. He does not represent conservatives and I’m not claiming he does. And as I stated, many on the left have ruined those two words to where they don’t mean a whole lot anymore.

I actually agree with some of what you said , especially the personal responsibility stuff. The difference is , people with a gun know they have a gun. The fentanyl is being made to look like something else. Xanax for one , which is killing young people. And they are also finding cocaine laced with it. Not to long ago some small group of people were partying just south of me....got an 8 ball of coke and were partying it up. 6 out of the 7 died from the fentanyl laced cocaine. 

 

Your right.....guns do not kill people on their own , that's the choice of the person. But a kid taking a Xanax, or some people partying..... unknowingly injected fentanyl and died. This is happening all over the country. 

The people that died are responsible for their own deaths. They made the choice to ingest a substance which was not required to sustain life (wasn't food or water). Did they deserve to die? Absolutely not. But they made a choice which resulted in their demise

You are just posting word vomit.  Go to a McDonalds and film yourself unable to order a hamburger, we'll wait.   The irony in this is that if you actually film and are unable to order a hamburger, it will be because the workers don't understand you. Maybe less time unlearning on youtube about "the moon landing is a hoax" will do you some good.

Pale white people are illegal immigrants too. 

You sound  one of those that everything and everyone is a racist.  I frankly don't give a damn what color someone is.

Ever been where they speak some spanish and mostly english and all the girls are white, with light hair and blue eyes, and are actually Spanish? 

"He does not represent conservatives"

I don't represent anyone. 

And calling out Obummer and Obidumb 3.0 for costing me probably 200 to 300K since Obummer 1.0 took office sure isn't being left.   It's just a fact.

Terrible, both of them and Obummer 3.0 is 10 times worse than versions 1 and 2, regardless of their political status. 

Did you vote for over 9 dollar diesel and over 8 dollar gas and regret it, but don't want to admit it?

I'm really not sure what to make of your bullshit post, but carry on.

I would tell you to go to McDonalds during the Mammoth motocross and try it yourself, but it went out of business about 6-7 years ago after being there forever.

Probably because it was too damn hard to order a Hamburger.  How is that for a fact?

Now please explain why the human race decided to stop going to the moon 50 + years ago. No Russians, Chinese, Americans.  

And why "The race to the moon" is back on?

Do you think they should get free health care? 
My wife and, I went several years without health insurance because we couldn’t afford it. We’ve always worked hard but, as an up and, coming  apprentice, I had a long ways to go on the financial ladder before being able to afford it. I had to get a couple teeth pulled because I couldn’t afford a root canal back then. Yet, my taxes are paying for someone with a fake social security number to get implants and, crowns. 
 

What are your thoughts on the immigrants in jail? Three squares and, a cot while our taxes that could be helping veterans, elderly and homeless is used to give them “a better life”. Did you read the article I posted on page 1? 

 How about standing in line with a grocery cart or, two and, pulling out an EBT (food stamp) card to pay for their food while some of us were rearranging bills to pay for our food. I see it all the time. Steak and, lobster while the next family has a cart full of canned goods and, Top Ramen.
 

Are you aware that Mexico does not allow foreigners with citizenship to vote or, even be on assistance? If they come here legally, they should face the same struggles  as everyone else. 
 

At the end of the day, our taxes should be used to help our own struggling citizens. Helping our people do better. Get help for those in need. Provide for those who do not have a means to take care of themselves. 
 

Why should Americans be treated as if they deserve less?

A lot to unpack here. Let me take it one at a time.

Nothing is ever free. But yes I do think they shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for medical expenses. Same with US citizens. What happened to you and your wife is not okay at all, and to think your situation is common in the wealthiest nation in the entire world is just mind boggling. Quality healthcare should not be a privilege for the wealthy. Your taxes are paying for a lot of things. We spent 300 million PER DAY for 20 years in Afghanistan. Many on the right often say, “Why are my taxes being used for X Y or Z overseas when we could help people here!?” But then when an idea is proposed to help people here, they say no we can’t do that.

If immigrants of any nation commit a crime in said nation, it only makes sense that they would serve the time in that nation. If there’s a mutual agreement between the two countries to have them serve out the sentence in their home country, then they can be extradited.

You are worried about people abusing the system. I get it. Those people are not the majority. 15% of welfare recipients are abusing it. Let’s round up though for the sake of this argument and say it’s 25%. I’m personally okay with 25% of people abusing it and 75% of people truly needing it to survive and better their lives. There are MUCH bigger fish to fry, but I’m perfectly fine with our government trying to find those 25% and dealing with it accordingly. Welfare fraud cost American tax payers an estimated 160 billion in 2020. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act cost the federal budget 130 billion yearly in corporate taxes alone. If we add in the massive cut for the top 1% as well, we vastly outnumber the welfare fraud cost. That is where the focus should be. That’s the bigger fish.

“You are worried about people abusing the system. I get it. Those people are not the majority. 15% of welfare recipients are abusing it”.

 Have you ever been to the projects in any city? 
How about a low income apartment complex? 

At both of these places, the people living there would offer double up on their stamps. For $50 cash, they’ll give you $100 worth of stamps. 
 

Growing up near Los Angeles, I had friends who lived in the Wilmington projects before they were tore down. When I was young I did apartment maintenance at a low income complex. Every single resident of each of these places abused their assistance. I grew up and lived in a lot of shitty places. Your 15% is very skewed. Where did you come up with that percentage?
 

In regards to housing illegal immigrants in jail, they don’t even belong here. If illegal immigration was a priority for lawmakers, those numbers could be reduced.
 

We shouldn’t have to pay for anyone who is not a  US citizen.

I have an uncle along with his parents who immigrated here legally from Argentina. His father and mother sold everything and came to the US with 60K in the early 60’s. The dad bought  a house in Torrance Ca and, started a small, mobil, pressure washing company for cleaning semi’s. They didn’t come here looking to reap the benefits of the system. They came here for the benefits of having the ability to create better lives for themselves on their own. That’s respectable. 
Let’s just move to the US and, get on welfare, sorry but, F THAT!

This is a ludicrous comparison in my opinion.  So, because I support the second amendment you are suggesting I am ok with mass shootings?  That is a non sequitur.  Second amendment folks are not necessarily against sensible legislation, but with over 400 million guns in the US thinking you can regulate away gun risk is ridiculous.  Yes, if there were ZERO guns in the US, we would not have gun violence, but that ship has sailed.  

Going out on a limb, it sounds like you support background checks/gun legislation on gun ownership but you are not worried about people coming across the border unvetted?  What am I missing?  They have to live somewhere once they are here, but "they probably won't move to my neighborhood so its ok"?  Sure, many immigrants want to work hard and just want a better life, but we simply don't know who is coming in because the system is so broken.  Are you ok with child traffickers, drug dealers, terrorists, Chinese spies, etc. crossing the border largely unchecked?  Cause if your are NOT ok with that, then shouldn't the US do what we can to secure our border like just about every other civilized country in the world?  

And even if every immigrant is a solid hard working citizen who will never commit a crime here we cannot handle an unlimited number (6 million in 2 years is a lot).  Even the richest country in world has a limit, we are after all $31.6T in debt! https://www.usdebtclock.org/

I was taking one opinion to the extreme to show how silly it is to assume if X person has Y belief then they must also be okay with Z. Which isn’t true.

Yes I support stricter gun laws than what we currently have and I think it’s silly that some of those on the right think any legislation at all  on gun control is too scary to allow because it’s the first step toward disarmament. Every election, we see conservatives saying that Democrats will take our guns. Democrats controlled Congress and the Presidency for 2 years. Were there any massive gun laws passed? Some on the left that are more for an all out ban or confiscation are also silly. They don’t think rationally when they say that. They just think it can happen in the blink of an eye.

People coming here should certainly be vetted. I’ve never said otherwise.

Imagine how desperate you’d have to be to pack what belongings you could into bags you can carry and march north toward the US border with your wife and children in the hopes of a better life. Because the country you’re in sucks and no matter what you do, no matter how hard you work or how intelligent you are, the life for you and your children is going to be terrible. So you go to the land of opportunity. We have it so great here. Yes even those left wingers who like to constantly complain about how terrible it is. Our poorest population have it made in comparison to the thousands of Mexican families trying to come here for a better life. I can’t blame them for that.

  No new gun laws,  Really?  They sure tried, thankfully the Supreme Court ruled most unconstitutional. Are you unaware that California just made it illegal to conceal carry even with a CCW license?   How about Sloppy Joes new background check and vetting process for gun buyers?  There’s no background or vetting at the southern border tho.  What part of  “Hell yes we’re taking your AR-15’s” Did you not understand? They’re going to keep on regulating and making their own loop holes. My sister wanted to buy a gun legally so I took her to several gun shops in SoCal and nobody would sell because they didn’t have guns and they couldn’t place orders on new ones due to legal reasons was told “everything was all tied up in the courts”.  Law abiding citizens can’t purchase firearms legally in California while thousands of guns flow across the southern border daily. 
    I’m all for legal immigration. But there’s a proper way to go about it.  We had a process in place which helped ensure assimilation.   it’s necessary for migrants to adhere to our cultures values, norms and to be aligned with the bulk of society.   What’s happening now is not allowing that.  There’s no assimilation with open borders.  When you import mass amounts of people from a 3rd world country,  you become a 3rd world country.    “They’re just coming here to work” sounds great however,  are you aware that over 65% of California’s welfare recipients are non citizens?  Who said nobody coming for free handouts. 
   They’re doing to the whole country exactly what they did to California when it was a blood red Republican state. They changed it with immigration.  This is about votes, They’re plan is to bring in enough democrat voters to keep democrats in power permanently.  Why else would they be deporting all Venezuelans?  Why, because Venezuelans have seen socialism destroy their country and therefore no Venezuelan is ever going to vote democrat, that’s why they’re the only ones being deported.   Can’t believe anybody can support fundamentally lowering the quality of our lives and livelihoods for generations to come.  We’re on our way to “owning nothing and being happy”

Is it a fact that the McDonalds closed down due to communication barriers? I doubt that is a fact but crazy if true.

Chinese catches is up 900%.

My cousin runs the ranch in Uvalde 

 

I told him to buy a bunch of automatics, and rent range time.

Just point it south, and you can not worry about those fences anymore.

The ranch is about 50 miles from the border, but a very clean river runs through it.

Illegals trash the place constantly. 

My cousin is cool, but there is a law still in Texas about cutting fences and the land owner may use deadly force.

Unfortunately there are idiot's in this very thread....that would stick up for those pieces of shit!!  I truly hope there are some ranchers down there , that have dug some huge holes , and don't stop filling it! In fact I hope every single one on the border does the same!

Full credit to them because I can't begin to tell you the angst I'd have if men were trespassing through my property each night-not once-but consistently-where my daughter slept.

WHY do these woman have to deal with this bullshit.

STEEL shutters...in their own home.
