personally, i don't buy this sort of selling out in the slightest. absolutely nothing in this essay leads me to believe the author is now conservative. talking to and getting along with trump supporters does not at all make you a conservative. liberal friends shunning you because you're bending over and giving media attention to a total scumbag like milo is sort of what you get. and from the intro - exactly what the author expected. 

 

the problem here is that some conservatives appear to be unaware of what milo is and what he's hoping to accomplish. i bet he's pretty brand new to most of you. but you're not championing free speech in supporting milo. he'd love for more of you to believe that though so, i guess his 'im gay and i hate gays' and other nonsensical ideals sit pretty well with conservatives searching for a useful prop.

Well thats a relief because i thought you might have an example from someone that matters,  a congressman or senator for example. 

like you determine who 'matters'  you don't even know anything about the alt right or you'd know that as a whole the alt right movement stems from white male supremacy. if you were capable of just a smidgen of independent reading on the subject, you'd know that. 

go back and read some 2006-2008 joe bageant. he predicted all of this.

good for the brand building, i'm not questioning if he is actually gay or not. milo either. personal branding for profit is all the rage with kids today, actual spines not so much.

Mexico is paying for it, and the border does needs some work.

 

Did occur to me the solution to the Canada border would be to issue transit visas to those wishing to pass through to Canada and Canada would build its own wall.

Sorry to say, but both parties are good at wasting tax payer's money. I say we should build a tunnel to Canada from Mexico, and make Canada pay for it. US is tired of being Canada's wall?

do you support the great trump wall? would you have supported it if democrats had tried to build it?

[Umka36 781]

I do not support Trump, because he is an embarrassment to the Presidency. He needs thicker skin, and needs to stop posting on twitter.

 

Is building a wall the ideal solution?, I would say no. I see it more a symbolism of doing something, but the obvious solution is too hard for either party to make. Make it impossible for illegals (I also include folks who overstay their visa, which is a larger group than the border jumpers) to make a living in the US, and enforce the penalty to employers hiring them. I blame both parties for making laws that never get enforced.

Asylum seekers are illegally crossing from the US into Canada in growing numbers hoping to receive refugee status. One small prairie town in southern Manitoba has become the nexus point for migrants who have lost hope in the US.

It was a cold Seidu Mohammed and Razak Iyal could barely comprehend.

On Christmas Eve, they found themselves struggling through a waist-deep field of snow in a rash night-time bid to sneak across the Canada-US border.

The two men had met just few hours before at a Minneapolis bus station and both faced deportation back to Ghana after being denied refugee status in the US.

They had heard through a network of other refugees and African expats that if they could get into Canada, they had a second shot at asylum in the north.
