Reg the Fronkey FarmerModerator@Bellen, Canada does not consider refugees to be criminals. Asylum seeking is not even a misdemeanor there. If you are driving the Pacific Highway or near the Peace Arch you will not have to worry about your child being kidnapped by the RCMP or anyone else. They are respected around the world for how they treat refugees. There was a great article in an Irish paper today (sorry behind a pay wall).
“The ethno-nationalists, evangelicals and conservatives who made a Faustian pact with US President Donald Trump so they could wrap themselves in the American flag to the exclusion of all others know that at some point there will be a reckoning”.
“Because of a deliberate policy of slow walking their claims , I saw hundreds, possibly thousands of asylum seekers spend days inching their way along the pedestrian bridge (at Hidalgo) with no shelter from the heat or the rain”.
And what choice do they have? Return to Honduras via the desert or risk having their children taken and put in cages?

Old AccountParticipantThanks Reg for some great readings!
I agree with @Bellen about flyover states. They determined the Repub takeover of all branches of US government. They are against abortion and the Supreme Court is what they most want. And they will get it.

Reg the Fronkey FarmerModeratorRobert I am getting more flashbacks to that disturbing Christian side hug “song“. Imagine if it became the law. Play it at your peril!! If someone else hears it I might be OK. I want my mammy.

Reg the Fronkey FarmerModerator@Daniel. Equal Justice Under Law. That is the core of what made America Great.

Are you suggesting I just cross the boarder and go for it? Hahahaha anyone down to meet me on the other side? I’m fleeing the holocaust I predicted would happen when that asshole took office. I fucking told everyone but no…
