This kind of stuff makes me angry........the right to act and the judgement in taking those actions are completely different things....thanks, Pelosi and crew!

Do this in any other country, I imagine it would not go well with the locals, but hey fair game.because Americans are the bad guys. Time to call in any old unpaid debt, displace illegals and become a nation of laws again

Surprised they did not also put up the Honduran and Guatemalan flags.

These people are idiots, that´s why.  The Hs & Gs insist on traipsing through Mexico despite the latter´s distaste for them & various generous offers to enable them to stay.

I thought this was appropriate, not sure it was meant that way.

Unlike a lot of Americans, I have actually been in some of these countries.  I know (some of) what the people are trying to escape.  Trust me, the detention centers that the media is trying to whip us into a frenzy over are nicer than the huts they lived in back home.

 

I have seen mud houses with dirt floors (mud when it's raining), and leaky thatch roofs.  No electricity,  no running water.  And multiple families living there.  

 

When Trump called Haiti a #$hithole country, we was being accurate, not demeaning.  So it's understandable why people risk their lives to leave that behind.  Even living in squalor here in the US is preferable to what they leave behind. (For most)

I agree......Why do some people think we have the obligation to house, cloth, and feed the world inside our country.

Because they are woke.

Because we can always utilize* more people who are uneducated and illiterate even in their own languages.

 

*as Undocumented Democrats

r/nottheonion worthy..

 

But if they like Mexico so much and seem to prefer it, why did they leave...? 🤨Or this is the new colonialism?

I just thought, you know, coming in and taking over someone else's land by putting up a flag. Seems very colonial indeed!

If this happened in Bulgaria, there would have been lethal force. It's funny how these activists are never "active" in Eastern Europe.
