The treasonous US government is overtly inciting, financing, and then shuttling in torrents of invaders from every hellhole imaginable - the inhabitants of which each have a thousand different axes to grind. Brace yourself, you're witnessing the planned destruction of America from within by traitors in our government and armed forces.
We, humanity, must eventually reach a status of OneWorldGovt with a "mark required" to buy or sell goods. THAT is a milestone destination. We can and should protect ourselves, our children, our country. Just know, if we believe the Bible is the word of God, then we know A. Hell on earth will come- for a time and B. this is NOT our home.
Amen. this is truth. A hell on earth WILL come. Many just believe the rapture will occur at different times. I am one who believes it will come before that hell on earth.
Amen! I am 100% certain that it will happen before. The body of Christ is taught by the Lord to study his word, and that is by rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15 kjv) and considering what the Apostle Paul says, that the Lord give us understanding in all things (2 Tim. 2:7) {pertaining to understanding his word}. We must know who our apostle is for this dispensation of the grace of God and that is the Apostle Paul, and he fulfilled the word of God.
Col. 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
The Lord has put Israel's prophetic fulfillment on hold until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (Rom. 11:25).
Thank you, Paula, for this last Biblical reference. I continued to read more context (Rom 11:25-32) and it seems confusing but it is a wonderful explanation of how God’s mercy works.
Texas needs to cede the most pressed border areas to the Apache and Comanche Nations; give them ALL the wire and obstacles possible. No Gvt. entity is obligated to place signage or safety apparatus to warn or dissuade entering a body of water. Mexican medical personnel are obligated to rescue persons in distress on their side of the river, and US on our side; there are no guarantees of timeliness of response in an invasion zone with terrain and deterring obstacles---otherwise both gvts need to co-fund building a paved bridge for them with handrails to ensure safety at every single point that someone wants to cross the river without being observed. Supreme Court is currently filled with Supreme C--ts.
It could be AI generated voice. In the country I used to believe in, those two border patrol agents would have stopped dead in their tracks--"say again".
Probably AI. Not sure what the jury has said on final voice print analysis? Can tech discern real from AI?
And... harkening back to 9/11 and planes, but AI was so crude then... can tech discern between images of real live humans and "people" we see, even in live, real-time feeds, or heck, even if you're in the room! -? Are we living in a holodeck?
Some of it involves; methodical fragmenting, expunging, swallowing up and enclaving targeted areas of middle class working and small business Americans (moral and MAGA types mostly) but also Black middle class gets wiped away as does Mexican-American middle class that's grown and thrived. Districting changes and even County and small towns get worked over so that Democracy and Public-Private Partnerships thrive and the old systems are cleansed. Key infrastructure and choke points through underserved communities will be as Pete But-I-Judge says; incorporated and essential into the new and well-funded transportation system; mass transit and ever less individual transit and long-range travel. Mass transferring of wealth, power, and a cultural/ethnic blending with Global Citizenry as a pinnacle to strive for while enacting erasure of Western ideals, advocacy, and norms (with all its Greco-Roman-Hebraic roots). Chinese Commie Community will grow in power, status, and thuggery while the Chinese-American and other Asian-American Communities also get targeted to the revised status of second-class residency as "citizenship" as we know it is re-defined and sinks to meaninglessness.
Of course this transformation will be dressed up as a New Expansive and Inclusive Global Middle Class with favors doled out based on personal choice social scores balanced against an Apartheid-based system of cultural, racial, and systemic perceived and quantified privileges for equitability. Rationing of education, healthcare, technology and dispensing of safe and factual information will be ever more normalized and sought after.
That's difficult to believe, TriTorch - not impossible, but really difficult. Won't say biden isn't THAT stupid, because we all know better, lol - but hell I'd love to be within bitch-slapping distance of him if he ever confirms making that statement.
I kinda doubt Joe really said this, only because he didn't stutter and stammer and all the words are understandable. The man can't complete a simple sentence, even when reading from paper or a teleprompter.
Biden did say, on national TV that he was advising illegals to SURGE THE BORDER as soon as he took office.
Where are all these millions of people? Has anyone personally seen them? I was in downtown Chicago last week during the subzero temperatures. There on the street corner was a shady group of Hispanics, men women and children, with a makeshift lemonade stand in the back of a kids wagon, I kid you not, and let me remind you it was sub zero temps… Maybe they were typical downtown chicagoans? I don’t know, I was on the lookout the whole time. Where are these people living and working?Temporary housing and kickbacks from the government will only last so long, then what??
NYC has housed them in hotels. And no, I have not seen this with my own eyes. You are right - this will only last so long. I'm not sure what the plan is here, but I do know these people at the border I see are arriving bathed, fed, and the men don't have the facial hair they would if they had walked for weeks. Something stinks.
I noticed that too. And how exactly did they get 3 meals a day walking 2K miles? Who cooked it? Where did the food come from? How about all the clean water? Women had hairstyles, too.... not that overgrown shaggy look when a hairstyle grows out. Clothing was clean. Tell me where they got the shoes to walk that long and that the shoes are still intact. I call b.s. on the whole thing.
Much is provided by NGOs (ie Open Society, Gates and other foundations). Once in the country, the Catholic and Lutheran Charaties take over. Those charities get funding/reimbursement from taxpayer/government money.
NGOs coordinate buses and planes through their recruitment camps at Darrien Gap, Panama.
I saw a commenter saying their relative in Mexico got a random text, encouraging them to migrate to the US for all of the freebies being offered by the US govt.
All over the world. If they can afford what all this costs... why not go through the immigration process?
Because they really DON'T want to become citizens. They want all the freebies and benefits WITHOUT the responsibilities. Cut off ALL the incentives and they will quit coming. Then start sending them back. THE ENTIRE FAMILY. Even the ones born here (of illegal parents). Let them challenge the 14th...
And chain migration (family members). The Anchor issue could be charged by a defining of the 14th A. by Congress. It was NEVER meant to allow illegals or citizenship for "pregnant visitors". It was written to give slaves that were brought here against their will, who had established a family, work and had know a different life from living in Africa, citizenship and the privileges/benefits of living here. It was never meant to be for foreign citizens to use as they choose.
Thanks for mentioning that! Absolutely! Because CA law requires that anyone in active labor be treated (agree with that, BTW), many come across the border just to deliver “for free” and for a child who is automatically a citizen. Need to fix the law to discourage this dangerous practice.
My 3 siblings and I were born in the US to Swedish parents, prior to 1958. My father was here on a student visa. We did not get citizenship until my parents gained US citizenship in 1958. When did this ridiculous “birthright citizenship” begin?
Not just cut off incentives. We should make it criminal for American employers to hire them if they are illegal. That's part of the problem....the people who hire them.
It already IS illegal to hire illegal aliens. I don't know how many times I had to PROVE I was actually born here when seeking employment - Form I-9 & E-Verify. ICE used to bust Mexican restaurants and construction sites all the time in Houston in the late 90s/2000s. (They used to shut down a really good restaurant we frequented! 🤣). We need to ENFORCE the laws already on the books! And amend laws (like the Anchor baby and chain migration) that have been bastardized beyond their original intent.
There are no buses nor trains thru the Darien Gap. Forty years ago a guy on an offroad BMW motorcycle made two-wheel history by being the first human known to get a motorized vehicle thru the Gap.
Their clothes were new looking and clean, not messy or dirty as you would expect. New looking shoes, backpacks, etc. The women's hair looked well taken care of, clearly they'd all gotten off a plane or bus or something.
I have seen documentaries and articles on Epoch Times reporting that NGO's are literally flying them to the border. Why not just fly them right in? Why stop at the border. Also, the reports were showing that NGO's are making tons of federal money off the illegal immigration. Kinda like the NGO's that make tons of money off of the homeless in CA. It's a win win win for the left. They change the landscape of the country and make tons of money to boot and to top it off, they can virtue signal that they are the ones that care for every single human being in the world..
The Colorado Dems want Federal funds and resources, the cities, counties, hospitals whining for $$$$$ to process and settle the masses for citizenship and full Revolution/transformation of culture and governance. Blaming House Republicans for problems and lack of resources; Congress needs all data collected from past 3 years (at least) to see that each home country is billed minimum of $8,000 for each and every person entering that won't leave regardless of reason or excuse given. Price of admission, you're not an invited guest.
Just like NY and Chicago. It seems to all be part of their agenda. Take red money and send it to blue areas. Seems like we are funding our own destruction. I remember that Trump sued to keep from counting illegals in the census because representation in US House is based on those numbers. He lost that case. Bottom line is the more we ship them to blue areas the more representation the Democrat areas will have in the US House.
NY has housed them in schools, shutting down those schools and requiring kids to attend online. There is also an already empty school in San Diego where they are housing illegals. Isn’t it just great! 🙄
We have a children's home with in-house school, for kids who have been abandoned, can't live at home behavior problems, etc. It is supported by local Methodist churches and private donations. The home has been the recipient of bus loads of young children from the border since last year. It is a 'secret' as no one is permitted to talk about it.
There’s a lot of them in construction. My neighbor had a pool installed by non-English speaking Hispanics. He had a roof installed by different non English Hispanics -one of which was a child around 11 or 12 years old. It was extremely upsetting for me to see that boy going to work on the roof. My neighbor only commented that he was probably an unaccompanied minor. He didn’t care about the child at all.
James Okeefee of OMG (citizen journalist) has been doing many videos on these places where they are taken to, then hidden behind walls and fences with tarps hiding them from the public. He recently video tapped a place in Tucson. He has been doing many videos for the past month on the white busses and Where they go.
Trying to talk to the drivers.
He was on the east coast and southwest.
X Tucson resident.
Boyfriend worked at DM AFB and it was seen in the beginning of 2021 early in the morning (4am) the white buses unloading “people” and then loading them onto waiting planes on a remote tarmac
Nogales is a quick ride from the old Pueblo
Also
Nick Johnson on his YT channel went down to the Texas border (Eagle Pass) a couple weeks ago. Trying to video and talk to anyone he can.
Redacted on YT recently interviewed 2 brothers who made a recent documentary (their with Muckracker) tracking the entire route the illegals take.
I have to watch it but Clayton’s interview with the brother journalists was eye opening
I’m wondering why isn’t AOC at the border crying?!
I live in Maryland and cannot go shopping anywhere in my area without hearing multiple languages being spoken. Then you have this BS in Aberdeen where a 20 yr old autisitc girl was raped and murdered.
I believe it is going to get much worse before it gets better and we will start seeing many more violent crimes. Keep your families and guns close by now.
Same thing here. Anytime I go out and about in Charlotte, NC, I hear 4 or 5 languages and none of them are english. I keep asking myself, has this aways been and I am just now noticing? No, if I think back, it really ramped up during the lockdown, when people were home and didn't notice the change. Now they are all here. We have a TON of people that are ineligible to work legally, using our pubic services & schools, not putting into the system, and competing with us for housing, transportation, and food.
I noticed it during the holidays when I was walking down Main St in the small town I live in. I have lived here for 40 years and this was the first time I heard multiple languages being spoken.
Fundamental Transformation was Obombya's promise; what did people think?? Left has called for the "Browning of America" for decades. What they really meant was importing hordes of unassimilated, stooges to wreck it all and let the masses of working and shirking and criminal classes fight over the scraps afterward. Middle Class Equity will be the innocuous term to disguise the chaos and brutality
Same here. My fiancee was given flashcards to communicate with all the illegal aliens added to her kindergarten class this year. She says it has made things very hard, especially for the english speaking kids because it changes the class dynamics big time when a portion of them cant take part in the lessons planned. She said the administration is pushing all of the kids through to the next grade regardless of if they met the required milestones or not. She is worried because she said the teachers in the higher grade levels report the same thing.
As a teacher in South Florida, having multiple non English speaking students, takes away teacher time from the rest of the class. You literally have to plan so much extra to service them, all while maintaining a positive environment and dealing with unruly behavior from kids who don't care about learning.
It can be done in a better way like putting an aide or volunteer to help the non English speaking children. I worked at a poor school and they do not have the same resources as affluent schools which makes it worse.
I went to college to make less than a garbage man.
I quit over mask wearing. Never again... and neither will my children go.
Funny thing... I told my classes that garbage men make decent money more than teachers and proved it. Surprise...
I graduated college in 93 and went to a Christian non catholic college and they were far from perfect but better. Teaching and schools are very different now and I saw the change. It was still bad though in the 90s with having inclusion pushed. I had a down syndrome child and he would get into all kinds of things making a mess and annoying others. He was sweet but he didn't want to try and was frustrated. At the same time, every school had to have a certain amount of minorities so it was hard to get hired. I was passed over for a job at a school I loved and subbed at for a year when a minority applied at the last minute. The same hire had me sub for her and she left me notes for the class. She literally used improper verbs and she was expected to be teaching them to 1st graders!!! How did she even write a paper in college and graduate?
My last child graduated last year and is definitely NOT going to college but trade school.
My oldest is ready to have kids and wants me to homeschool them so...
The unruly behavior is rampant in our district, and we don't have as big of an ELL problem as some of the bigger cities. But the administration does not back the teachers, and many are leaving. Inmates are running the asylum, but the board is majority D (4-3) and will not address it. Working to flip it in April, with 2 very strong candidates, although a lot of damage has been done already.
If everyone took their kids out of public school that would solve it. Either change things or dissolve them. In the meantime working parents can take turns with each other educating their children in groups.
I support this, but then wonder if things would REALLY change. In the end, do they care if the classes get smaller and their job of brainwashing fragile minds gets easier? The locals won't allow you to NOT pay taxes so who would care?
There would be a lot of empty buildings and people out of work.
Desantis gives a lot of public funding for alternative education like homeschooling and private schools. They would have to do something if all these parents demand the money their home public school would have for their kid.
Please don’t automatically equate the speaking of a language other than English with illegals. I was born in the US but grew up speaking a different language with my parents and also speak a non English language with my children and spouse. But we all speak perfect English and are not illegals. I’m sure a lot of the ones you have seen and heard may very well fall into that category but I am just cautioning you not to jump to conclusions every time you hear someone not speaking English.
This latest view is not confusing your situation with what is happening now, by any means. University town all of my life. Same routine pretty much, shop in the same places, attend same events, etc. My local Publix sees a huge difference between now and 3 years ago. It is not just different languages, it's different demeanors, different behaviors, different selections. Stood behind the family in front of me with two shopping carts crammed with products unknown to me. You see, our Publix has added far more "international foods and products"... not hard to see. Their purchases were 80% sodas, sweets, beer, processed foods, processed bakery goods, and it was stunning how many Visa cards they produced! The tab was nearly $800 for
80% junk food! The elder of the group produced the stack of cards, then wrapped them in a rubber band before returning them to her pocket. They were a group of five 20-30 something
males, two females with infants and older children plus the elder. How do you feed that many people with sugary sweets, sugary drinks and sodas, and junk food? Spend govt support.... I don't know. None of them spoke a word of English. Nothing I saw prior to 2021... This is an invasion.
Just a thought - sometimes people buy that kind of crap food to resell it. Whenever my store has a super sale on pop, this one customer comes in and buys 2 shopping carts full. He then takes it to his convenience store and re-sells it at a substantial markup. Our manager has talked to him, not because she wants to stop him, but because she wanted to know how anyone drank that much pop and he flat out admitted what he did.
I'm not saying there is not a huge problem and it's possible they really do eat all that garbage. If so, their life spans will certainly be reduced.
Agreed. However, I understood their Spanish and it seemed to me to be for their consumption... And, yes, you are correct, so much for a healthy lifestyle. The canned dried beans they bought were the cheapest, numerous packages of tortillas were the same cheapest. No fresh anything. Charcoal, foil, t-paper, detergent. They loaded everything into an old, beat up truck, some of the men climbed in the back of the pickup, everyone else crowded into the pickup. No childseats, no elderly men.... I've seen folks at Sam's and their purchases for resale. I do not believe this and the other similar groups I see frequently are resale purchasing.
Well that re-sell practice has been going on forever. I worked for Aldi in the late 80's and we had a binder of tax ID letters for lots of small businesses who would buy mass quantities for either resale or for their mom and pop restaurants. The restaurant owners said Aldi was cheaper than their wholesaler as they didn't get the volume discounts. Anything bought for resale was exempt from sales tax. Although I guarantee random personal purchases got tossed in the cart too under the auspices of a business purchase.
But yeah, way too many of the food stamp customers were cringe back then too. A cart load of prepared food and junk food, and if their total went over, the first things that got taken off were fruits and vegetables.
"If so, their life spans will certainly be reduced." And likely see chronic disease for want of proper nourishment. Good for business in the medical-pharmaceutical complex, which is primarily institutional with reimbursement contracts through both managed care (what a euphemism!) and public programs. Can't refuse care and all that. Yadda. Downward spiral on numerous levels. Human tragedy. Insupportable. ...No answers. Sadness, anger difficult to rationalize away > personal tragedy multiplied by how many clear-seeing Americans plus the fight with the other side of the divide; how ugly will it/we get (justified, but still ugly)... Speak for myself?💔
We don't do Disney anything. Our daughter danced every Thanksgiving and Christmas for years at Disney. But that was back when she was in her teens and early 20s... and we got in free. No more.
See, that is additional and potentially relevant information. Not just based on the language. Although I would argue that the international section of the supermarket is equally likely to have been influenced by more travel abroad and more interest in ethnic foods in the past couple of decades. But yeah the rest of it is definitely something that makes you wonder 😕
Possibly but like I said, I’m sure people wonder about us when they hear us out and about but my point is, wait for other evidence than simply speaking other languages. There are far more bilingual families in this country than there were 20 years ago.
Yes! And speaking another language is a benefit to the American born, not a detriment. I worked very hard to teach my children the language of my grandparents. It has greatly enriched them imo. Knowing another language opens your mind to a different culture which can never be experienced the same way in another country without really knowing the language.
In my hometown (just up the hill from Fetterman's) there have been multiple ethnic groups, many self-segregated into individual neighborhoods, since the industrial revolution. The 1910s thru 1940s saw tens of thousands of Poles, Germans, Slavs, Hungarians, and Irish land in the Mon valley and go to work in the mills and mines. To this day, toursits come to Pittsburgh to enjoy the still-extant and thriving "ethnic enclaves", and the FOOD!
Yes. People have an inherent comfort in finding people with the same heritage, traditions, mindset and language. Especially when they’re new to a place and surrounded by everything that is unfamiliar and strange to them. And even more when they’re rejected by the people who are already there because they’re told they’re different, odd, or interlopers. So they gather together.
Yes, I agree. Both sets of grandparents immigrated and my parents learned English in school. HOWEVER, they learned English in class without aides or language assistance! That was how it was done.
My father was a first generation Greek American. At home, he spoke greek, primarily with my grandmother. But like all other immigrants (like your family too it sounds like) English was society's language. Thanks to the GI Bill, he went onto an Ivy League education (back when that was something to be proud of). I personally think that allowing "Press 2 for Spanish" was instrumental in weakening our culture. A blended culture worked because people worked hard, assimilated and shared values. With that base, our cultural differences could be celebrated. But without any common base? Now what?
Same background here. My grandparents were Greek immigrants and they were proud to have learned to speak English so well. My grandfather became a successful businessman so it was important as well. Ofcourse, they spoke Greek at home and taught their children.
As for the Press 2 for Spanish thing, I think that what our country needs is the same English language assimilation importance that our relatives faced, (this eliminating the press 2 for Spanish) but perhaps we could as a country, take advantage of so many Spanish speaking immigrants, and use it as an opportunity to get our American children to be bilingual. We are the only country I know where the population only knows one language fluently.
Oh c'mon that's not that common. You are probably a family of one in a million that does that. If you are choosing to speak a different language out in public then be prepared bro be judged . And what do you care anyway what people think ? Apparently you don't , so don't be telling others what not to assume. You set yourself and your family up for it by simply not speaking English in public. Just sayin.
Um you’d be wrong, I am very connected to bilingual communities and it’s far more common than it was even 20-30 years ago. And really? I set myself up? You clearly know nothing about what it takes to support a bilingual child’s language learning. I don’t care what people think but I do object to someone equating speaking another language to being an illegal immigrant 🙄 That is totally simplistic. All I am saying is, don’t jump to conclusions without additional evidence. Why is that so hard? I think that is one of the problems of our society, people love jumping to conclusions before they know the whole story.
I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with calling on people to NOT jump to conclusions. I am all for securing the southern border. At the same time, I welcome legal immigrants here. We have several legal immigrant families in our neighborhood, and they are all such lovely people. America is a melting pot and always has been. It is sad to see Americans become extremists and hateful, instead of keeping cool heads and kind hearts.
It’s not unkind to want to protect your culture and heritage which is now being degraded and destroyed. We weren’t always a “melting pot.” It wasn’t so easy to become an American in the past.
Of course it is not unkind to protect our culture and heritage. You misunderstood my meaning. But America has had the culture of melting pot since it's beginning when Europeans came here for religious freedom. And it has continued. Immigration should be done legally! I am completely opposed to Biden's policy of letting in illegals! Furthermore, who is it that is really degrading our culture and heritage? Isn't it the extreme leftist policies of our own "President", et al, who are destroying our history, Constitution, freedoms and rights, including the legal process to become an American?
Yes! Indeed. The same in many other countries and regions. Being bilingual does not mean you can’t belong to or identify with the broader culture. And there is much less stigma about it generally speaking than there was maybe fifty years ago. Lots of people now recognize the advantages of bilingualism and understand that it doesn’t automatically mean people don’t want to integrate otherwise. But there are still a lot of misconceptions as certain comments today have demonstrated.
Real Americans speak English. That’s the language the founders of this country spoke. It was a mistake to allow immigrants in that don’t assimilate and make English their primary language. It’s what is dragging America down to craphole territory. If people want to speak the language of their mother country they should move back there.
One of my Polish grandmothers, who immigrated to the US, loved this country and raised her 11 children to be Americans. They became lawyers, doctor, teachers, secretaries. She, however, could not seem to acquire the new language; it was too difficult for her. She was content to live in the Polish culture, but she loved to try speaking words from Bonanza, her favorite show.
Not all have the ability to learn, fluently, another language.
I'm trying to say that you have as little right to try to control or suggest what people should think as I would to tell anyone how to speak in public . You do you and everyone will think whatever they want.
Lol I’m not trying to *control* anything 🙄 I’m just making a point that using limited information to reach a conclusion can be misleading. I’m not sure why my suggesting an alternative way of looking at things or cautioning not to hastily draw conclusions is controlling 🙄 It’s in the same vein as not assuming when you hear someone with a southern accent that they’re an ignorant hick. You are free to do what you want, though. If you want to make erroneous assumptions based on limited information and seem uninformed then you are of course have every right to do so. I’m just putting this out to people who might like to hear other perspectives, which doesn’t seem to apply to you so not sure why you’re so upset about it 🤷♀️
We are being invaded right now so I look at things a bit differently than I did a few years ago. Because of that , I find I am more concerned and notice more. To be frank , I do not go around making assumptions etc. My point was more about being told how I should think about what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears when I am out and about . Times are very different now.
I get that sensitivity to this new situation but I disagree that I told anyone how to think. I just politely (I started my sentence with “please” for goodness’ sakes!) requested that people might want to consider another possibility as a reason people in public could be speaking a foreign language together. That’s all. I’m really not sure quite how you got “controlling” and “being told how to think” out of that. You are free to jump to conclusions as much as you like or use whatever information you have to decide what to think, I don’t really care. I just personally prefer a more rational analysis and less knee jerk emotional response and thought others might appreciate a different perspective as well. If you don’t, fine, just scroll on by 🤷♀️
Funny because I see your need to suggest how people should perceive your speech out in public as being the knee jerk, emotional , reaction. You obviously assumed what people think about your language and felt a strange need to educate the masses , lol. Bye bye , now.
Well, I do think it's more common to retain one's native language than it was a generation or 2 ago, and it's a good thing. My great grandparents were immigrants from what is now the Czech Republic. My grandparents and their siblings were never taught Czech, and my grandparents never cooked any Czech dishes. I didn't think to ask, they've been gone for 40 years now, but only learned of Czech food when we started going to different ethnic festivals. A good friend's mom was born in Italy, met her dad when he was stationed there in the Army, got married and moved to the US. She still gets together with friends from Italy for card games every Sat night and they all speak Italian, but she never taught the language to my friend or her siblings. I asked her why once, and she said, what's the point? She does cook some great Italian food though! Bottom line for me - I think it's good to retain your language - where I draw the line is when these groups insist that they be accommodated in their native language. I recently read that a local school district (KC) has hired a bunch of translators to accommodate parental notifications and communications, and that the primary hospital that provides indigent (uninsured) care has had to do the same.
See, that is a bit of a conundrum. Especially as regards health care. If a patient doesn’t understand what the provider is saying, how can there be informed consent? And how can the care be appropriate if the doctor and patient can’t communicate? Plus it opens up the hospital to potential liability if there is a miscommunication. So maybe the non English speaker should be responsible for getting an interpreter? What if a person doesn’t have the means to pay for one? In the past, people’s children or friends or relatives would serve as interpreters but there are huge problems with that. There are potential conflicts of interest (relatives have been known to purposely withhold information or change the meaning of what was said), these people don’t necessarily know the medical terminology in both languages so that opens up a whole host of potential issues, and minor children should NEVER be put in the position that they have to be a party to and bear responsibility for their parents’ medical care. This is not going to the store for clothes or groceries. So what do you do? Even people who are trying to learn English, if they haven’t been here very long might not understand medical terms. They might be able to get by in English, even, but it is really likely they would misunderstand or miscommunicate in these situations especially in more stressful emergency situations or serous medical problems like cancer or an autoimmune disease. So yes, I get the frustration with the cost and provision of these services but what is the alternative?
As for schools, I have mixed feelings about this. There are confidentiality issues and terminology that make a professional interpreter a better choice, but in many ways it does seem like the parents and school officials should just figure it out like they used to do. I guess the idea is it’s easier to support learning and discipline when the communication is smoother though.
My problem is not so much the interpreters, I guess, its just one more line item in budgets that are out of control, and if we push back against any of it, we are told we are xenophobic, racist, whatever. Not totally new, I remember reading an article back when my kids were in HS in the Obama years that said Garden City KS (western KS, meatpacking plants) school district had 35 languages spoken! Part of a controversy in KS at the time over 'underfunding schools' (which has been the mantra everywhere as long as I can remember - it's never enough). So multiply that cost by every school, every hospital, every government service. Somewhere, there is a tipping point where the cost of helping assimilate 13? million or more new residents starts to strain budgets, services to existing citizens, and our tax bill. Our property tax bill (~65% of which goes to schools) went up $1200 this December. Insult to injury when every other bill is going up and we had to dip into savings to pay the tax bill. We are lucky we have savings, some people are either going to have to sell or lose their homes because they can't pay the huge increases. And yet, the county is putting another tax on the ballot in April....and these so called refugees are also getting gov't checks, taxpayer funded services, and potentially voter ID's.
Oh yes I completely get where you’re coming from on that score and agree with your sentiments. The flood of non English speaking immigrants including children, must be stopped.
It’s not always difficult. One key way is if they don’t speak English. The illegals generally have a different demeanor and dress differently. I lived in Mexico, had a Mexican stepmother so it’s not difficult for me. Admittedly, there are many illegals I wouldn’t recognize from just a look.
That gives us a huge disadvantage in the international arena (business or politics). Speaking other languages IN ADDITION TO English is not a bad thing.
Nowhere because they did it all wrong as usual. Children learning in immersion settings is a far far more successful method than some nonnative or even native speaker teaching a group of 20-30 kids for 45 minutes a day 3-5 times a week staring when the are teenagers. Pretty much completely useless, a waste of time and money but the school systems are very good at that!
I had a year of French in high school....my very southern country accent didn't help. I learned and retained nothing. Now.....my typing, sewing, and home ec classes have served me well. I started a small business making and selling custom full front end fender covers for the home mechanic. Im doing quite well in my retirement sewing a few days a week. I make more than i did teaching with 30 years with a Masters degree and work a hell of a lot less. Thank you sewing classes!
Funny, schools no longer offer typing, sewing and home economics anymore. But, they do teach racism, body mutilation, and pop a pill for an ill. How is that working for us?
My two older sisters had the same school experience. By the time I was old enough to learn them, the homemaking arts had been removed from the public school curriculum. This was in the mid-70s. I suspect the decision was fueled by the women's liberation movement. I MISSED OUT! My sisters patiently taught me those skills (the very basics), but to this day, I long to master needlecrafts to the degree that my sisters did because of their many hours of classroom instruction and hands-on learning.
We still had Home Ec in school. I was resistant and did not learn a thing. Even my mother gave up trying to teach me to sew on a button. Yet I began to want to sew clothes in high school, making all kinds of mistakes of course! When I had children, I would sew for them, because they didn't mind my mistakes. Years later, I learned pattern making and began to produce sewing patterns; Victoria Jones Collection . My pattern making teacher expected us to be accurate within 1/32" by hand. I loved it all and still do. The sewing book we used 40 years ago is still being reprinted today and to my mind, is still the best general sewing instruction book: The Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing. $21.50, and you can sew anything!
To this day I still use the cooking skills I learned in home ec, although they called it foods and nutrition by then. My mom, god rest her soul, taught me how to cook by using box mixes and cans, but that class taught me from scratch.
while my Mom was not a terrible cook, I became better. I remember the days of Good House keeping 'recipes', Combine one 8oz can of XYZ with a 12oz box of ZZZ......etc.
The classes from school that have done me the most good in life, were cooking classes. I have been able to prepare excellent healthy meals for myself and significant others.
Which I think is wrong, bilingual doesn’t equate to Spanish and English, and why should they get preferential treatment when there are other languages spoken and why should it be assumed they are too dumb to learn English and need the crutch of dual language signage?
I did take some Spanish, but didn't apply myself. Immersion for me was a better way to learn. I regret not making the effort, because in the construction industry, Spanish is widely spoken. It helps to build relationships.
Influx here in Columbus, Ohio, too, although we have always had a high number of international folks, both illegal and many legal. If I had time and money for parking, I'd love to check out Port Columbus (the airport) to see who is living there.
You would think ONE security guard who is helping to house illegals at airports and everywhere else would open their mouth and start talking.
They are keeping them at airport terminals in empty wings. (Among other places like hotels and even some gyms at schools) I saw a clip of it on Twitter, they are packed in and have beds on the floor, all behind black curtains with security yelling at anyone who tries to look. James O Keefe also posts some of this video footage on Twitter
I used to live in the Chicago area and remember the time they kicked the homeless out of the airports. Shades of the Tom Hanks 2004 movie, “The Terminal.”
Was this sarcasm, or are you just too far North? Yes, we have seen them, by the thousands, well over 98% of them 20-40yo men. We’ve seen the abandoned “tent cities” when they are moved, who knows where, but I can guarantee, it’s not back out of our country. We’ve seen them delivered to Yuma in luxury busses, all wearing matching sneakers and line up to receive what I can only assume are motel vouchers along with a pile of green bills (couldn’t see the denominations, but they each walked off, some counting them. Word from local restaurant workers is that they’re also given debit or credit cards too. The cash is for ‘incidentals.’ If you’re not seeing this encouraged invasion for what it is, you’re simply not paying attention.
That would square with my observations recently of groups of 3-5 men, working age but dressed casually and not for work, piling groceries and supplies into one or two shopping carts at the local Winco. I guess they can do it if they have been shipped in and were given debit cards for food purchases to stock whatever fridge is in their refugee accommodation. Winco is popular with every demographic and is very multicultural, but these groups of men stick out like a store thumb. Middle of winter; there's no construction work or landscaping work or agricultural work, per se.
We do! I will add that tptb really are trying to keep everything under wraps. We don’t see the illegals on the city streets often; it’s in these remote, rural areas. BTW, these small towns are seeing their economic situations improve on the taxpayer’s dime. Motels and restaurants (other than McD’s) used to be largely underutilized. Now they’re often busy .
Because they will NOT be loyal to Americans when they are recruited into our military, our police forces, etc. etc. When given the orders, they WILL take us out without question, if they refuse to follow those orders, I am sure they and/or their families will be killed as well.
Apparently, NY and possibly Chicago, are already going around the illegal labor laws and employing them in the police force, think there was an article a few weeks ago about NY finding ways to employ them - I think they already have. Beware of your surroundings and ways to escape if you are ever pulled over and you wonder who the hell pulled you over and for no reason (don't give them a reason!)
And the invaders won't mind if a 'foreign power' sends in blue helmets, steels what what little is left of a country, and locks us up and/or murders us for resisting one world total control. And force up us no God but 'them'.
I agree with the article, I wrote a comment last week about that. I, a female white, middle age, RN, Vet w/disability, previous VA worker as an LPN applied here in NC, didn't get the job even with previous experience and Vet preference. I asked or wondered to my husband why I didn't get hired, he pointed at the sign that says "come work here" or something to that effect and said because I wasn't one of them. The picture showed a trans "woman" and a black woman only. I will not try again, not worth my time.
They are in shelters throughout Chicago from what I’ve read, from police stations to a huge chunk of O’Hare where they are screened off from public eye.
For now I believe they’ve been bused primarily into sanctuary cities like NY, Chicago and parts of CA. No doubt, they will be dispersed throughput the country in the near future. We live in a city of <200,000 and during the Obama administration, 7000 Somali people were brought to our town. We heard that they used agencies such as Catholic Family Services. Jobs were provided, I know that large numbers of the men are bused to meat packing plants in the area. However assimilation has been difficult…children thrown into schools with no English language, or basic cultural knowledge. We’ve heard wild stories like children and adults defecating on the floor in Walmart, and one woman started an apartment building fire by building a fire on top of the stove, because she had been told to cook on it!
I rarely see them in our part of town, they seem to stay pretty much in their own community, but you will sometimes see them at Sam’s or Walmart; many of the women still wear traditional Somali dress.
But I fear much worse with the group coming across now, because it looks like an army of young military aged men, awaiting training and marching orders.
We’ve had an influx of illegals. The owner of a local thrift store took out the fitting room because too many people were urinating in it. They’re ruining this country.
James O’Keefe’s OMG has/is producing a series on illegal immigrants and the NGOs sponsoring them. Well worth watching and supporting his investigation. He shows you where our tax dollars are going!
I fly through ORD often and have noticed all the illegals sitting or sleeping all over in the baggage claim area. I try to take a carryon because it makes me uncomfortable; they’re often standing around the baggage belts, too, and I wonder how many bags go missing. Yes, I realize there are cameras but I also know how lax on crime they are in Chicago.
Yes, we have seen them! By the hundreds, and that’s a snapshot, briefly passing through. I’m sure it goes on 24/7. Luxury busses, totally out of place on the dusty back roads of Yuma and Ajo and Gila Bend, dropping off 20-40ish yo males. We’ve seen them line up and patiently wait to receive a stack of cash, and what appeared to be hotel vouchers. Local restaurant workers say they are also given cash or debit cards. We’ve seen their matching sneakers, and their abandoned “tent cities” (high end tents, all matching too) and the remaining debris when they move on to who knows where.
I wrote another response, but decided it was too inflammatory, so started to delete parts and it disappeared. I can’t find it, so my apologies in advance if it turns up and offends anyone.
Anyone notice that there is no media coverage of all this, except the occasional token family (that I swear was shopping in our local supermarket the prior week)?
Seriously folks, read between the lines on this one, and it has zero to do with compassion.
And as I understand it, New York has a law that they must be housed. Not too long ago, some city tried to move them from hotels to a huge tent and the illegals refused. They know their rights…our tax dollars pay for their attorneys. WTH!?!
I heard Trump briefly on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday afternoon. He estimated by the time Biden's 4 years are up, 15 million illegals will have been allowed in this country.
Texas to set up massive American Gladiator type foam block obstacle course in-depth replete with 1990s spandex attired athletes of varied race and ethnicity and gender shooting foam ball cannon from multiple towers and bunkers, to discourage rapid border invasion of under-welcomed hordes from the underserved parts of the world community.
"We simply cannot allow people to pour into the U.S., undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, lawfully to become immigrants in this country" — 2005, Senator Barack Obama
"You're going to make sure those cowboys don't stop the surge of military aged men from entering." — 2024, Obama Puppet, Fake President Biden
The treasonous US government is overtly inciting, financing, and then shuttling in torrents of invaders from every hellhole imaginable - the inhabitants of which each have a thousand different axes to grind. Brace yourself, you're witnessing the planned destruction of America from within by traitors in our government and armed forces.
Controlled demolition.. as Jeff has dubbed it.
We, humanity, must eventually reach a status of OneWorldGovt with a "mark required" to buy or sell goods. THAT is a milestone destination. We can and should protect ourselves, our children, our country. Just know, if we believe the Bible is the word of God, then we know A. Hell on earth will come- for a time and B. this is NOT our home.
Keep the Faith 🙏 Hold the Line ✝️
Amen. this is truth. A hell on earth WILL come. Many just believe the rapture will occur at different times. I am one who believes it will come before that hell on earth.
Amen! I am 100% certain that it will happen before. The body of Christ is taught by the Lord to study his word, and that is by rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15 kjv) and considering what the Apostle Paul says, that the Lord give us understanding in all things (2 Tim. 2:7) {pertaining to understanding his word}. We must know who our apostle is for this dispensation of the grace of God and that is the Apostle Paul, and he fulfilled the word of God.
Col. 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
The Lord has put Israel's prophetic fulfillment on hold until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (Rom. 11:25).
Thank you, Paula, for this last Biblical reference. I continued to read more context (Rom 11:25-32) and it seems confusing but it is a wonderful explanation of how God’s mercy works.
Same. I am too. But I know others don’t believe that. ;)
Texas needs to cede the most pressed border areas to the Apache and Comanche Nations; give them ALL the wire and obstacles possible. No Gvt. entity is obligated to place signage or safety apparatus to warn or dissuade entering a body of water. Mexican medical personnel are obligated to rescue persons in distress on their side of the river, and US on our side; there are no guarantees of timeliness of response in an invasion zone with terrain and deterring obstacles---otherwise both gvts need to co-fund building a paved bridge for them with handrails to ensure safety at every single point that someone wants to cross the river without being observed. Supreme Court is currently filled with Supreme C--ts.
Amen and Amen! Psalms 121.
Thank you for this. Was a salve to my soul.

I serve no man, my loyalty is to the country.
It’s Trump 2024 or the country faces a Rwandan style genocide once Democrats activate their gangs from the border.
Let no man deny the stakes.
Biden Quote: https://tritorch.com/degradation/BidenSurgingBorderWithMilitaryAgedMen.mp4 [22 seconds]
That is a legitimate Biden statement??? Insane!
Sounds almost too competent. And unlikely to use the term “military aged men” imo.
It could be AI generated voice. In the country I used to believe in, those two border patrol agents would have stopped dead in their tracks--"say again".
Yep! Too canned…
Probably AI. Not sure what the jury has said on final voice print analysis? Can tech discern real from AI?
And... harkening back to 9/11 and planes, but AI was so crude then... can tech discern between images of real live humans and "people" we see, even in live, real-time feeds, or heck, even if you're in the room! -? Are we living in a holodeck?
Tin foil hat? Check.
Hot mic moment...
Could be, but I trust nothing that sounds too good to be true. Of course that’s the plan though.
Planned and refined since the 1940s and final implementation phase underway, wait til you see what's coming next...
Not gonna like it, whatever it is. Any suggestions?
Some of it involves; methodical fragmenting, expunging, swallowing up and enclaving targeted areas of middle class working and small business Americans (moral and MAGA types mostly) but also Black middle class gets wiped away as does Mexican-American middle class that's grown and thrived. Districting changes and even County and small towns get worked over so that Democracy and Public-Private Partnerships thrive and the old systems are cleansed. Key infrastructure and choke points through underserved communities will be as Pete But-I-Judge says; incorporated and essential into the new and well-funded transportation system; mass transit and ever less individual transit and long-range travel. Mass transferring of wealth, power, and a cultural/ethnic blending with Global Citizenry as a pinnacle to strive for while enacting erasure of Western ideals, advocacy, and norms (with all its Greco-Roman-Hebraic roots). Chinese Commie Community will grow in power, status, and thuggery while the Chinese-American and other Asian-American Communities also get targeted to the revised status of second-class residency as "citizenship" as we know it is re-defined and sinks to meaninglessness.
Of course this transformation will be dressed up as a New Expansive and Inclusive Global Middle Class with favors doled out based on personal choice social scores balanced against an Apartheid-based system of cultural, racial, and systemic perceived and quantified privileges for equitability. Rationing of education, healthcare, technology and dispensing of safe and factual information will be ever more normalized and sought after.
That's difficult to believe, TriTorch - not impossible, but really difficult. Won't say biden isn't THAT stupid, because we all know better, lol - but hell I'd love to be within bitch-slapping distance of him if he ever confirms making that statement.
I kinda doubt Joe really said this, only because he didn't stutter and stammer and all the words are understandable. The man can't complete a simple sentence, even when reading from paper or a teleprompter.
Biden did say, on national TV that he was advising illegals to SURGE THE BORDER as soon as he took office.
Where are all these millions of people? Has anyone personally seen them? I was in downtown Chicago last week during the subzero temperatures. There on the street corner was a shady group of Hispanics, men women and children, with a makeshift lemonade stand in the back of a kids wagon, I kid you not, and let me remind you it was sub zero temps… Maybe they were typical downtown chicagoans? I don’t know, I was on the lookout the whole time. Where are these people living and working?Temporary housing and kickbacks from the government will only last so long, then what??
I doubt a single one of them is working. If they are, it's under the table. I understand some parts of Chicago O'Hare airport have been closed off to house them. https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/migrants-ohare-airport
NYC has housed them in hotels. And no, I have not seen this with my own eyes. You are right - this will only last so long. I'm not sure what the plan is here, but I do know these people at the border I see are arriving bathed, fed, and the men don't have the facial hair they would if they had walked for weeks. Something stinks.
Most of them are also overweight. Not judging, but they didn't just get done with a 2000-plus mile trek
I noticed that too. And how exactly did they get 3 meals a day walking 2K miles? Who cooked it? Where did the food come from? How about all the clean water? Women had hairstyles, too.... not that overgrown shaggy look when a hairstyle grows out. Clothing was clean. Tell me where they got the shoes to walk that long and that the shoes are still intact. I call b.s. on the whole thing.
Much is provided by NGOs (ie Open Society, Gates and other foundations). Once in the country, the Catholic and Lutheran Charaties take over. Those charities get funding/reimbursement from taxpayer/government money.
NGOs coordinate buses and planes through their recruitment camps at Darrien Gap, Panama.
I saw a commenter saying their relative in Mexico got a random text, encouraging them to migrate to the US for all of the freebies being offered by the US govt.
They often ride buses or trains, I think.
They’re flown into Tijuana and Yuma. IDK from where.
All over the world. If they can afford what all this costs... why not go through the immigration process?
Because they really DON'T want to become citizens. They want all the freebies and benefits WITHOUT the responsibilities. Cut off ALL the incentives and they will quit coming. Then start sending them back. THE ENTIRE FAMILY. Even the ones born here (of illegal parents). Let them challenge the 14th...
🎯🎯🎯! And do away with Anchor Babies. Every other country has, except one or two.
And chain migration (family members). The Anchor issue could be charged by a defining of the 14th A. by Congress. It was NEVER meant to allow illegals or citizenship for "pregnant visitors". It was written to give slaves that were brought here against their will, who had established a family, work and had know a different life from living in Africa, citizenship and the privileges/benefits of living here. It was never meant to be for foreign citizens to use as they choose.
Thanks for mentioning that! Absolutely! Because CA law requires that anyone in active labor be treated (agree with that, BTW), many come across the border just to deliver “for free” and for a child who is automatically a citizen. Need to fix the law to discourage this dangerous practice.
My 3 siblings and I were born in the US to Swedish parents, prior to 1958. My father was here on a student visa. We did not get citizenship until my parents gained US citizenship in 1958. When did this ridiculous “birthright citizenship” begin?
There have been a number of disastrous outcomes over the years.
Not just cut off incentives. We should make it criminal for American employers to hire them if they are illegal. That's part of the problem....the people who hire them.
It already IS illegal to hire illegal aliens. I don't know how many times I had to PROVE I was actually born here when seeking employment - Form I-9 & E-Verify. ICE used to bust Mexican restaurants and construction sites all the time in Houston in the late 90s/2000s. (They used to shut down a really good restaurant we frequented! 🤣). We need to ENFORCE the laws already on the books! And amend laws (like the Anchor baby and chain migration) that have been bastardized beyond their original intent.
💯💯💯
ConcernedGrammy is correct. There are I9 laws and others that IF ENFORCED could and would stop this crap.
There are no buses nor trains thru the Darien Gap. Forty years ago a guy on an offroad BMW motorcycle made two-wheel history by being the first human known to get a motorized vehicle thru the Gap.
Their clothes were new looking and clean, not messy or dirty as you would expect. New looking shoes, backpacks, etc. The women's hair looked well taken care of, clearly they'd all gotten off a plane or bus or something.
I have seen documentaries and articles on Epoch Times reporting that NGO's are literally flying them to the border. Why not just fly them right in? Why stop at the border. Also, the reports were showing that NGO's are making tons of federal money off the illegal immigration. Kinda like the NGO's that make tons of money off of the homeless in CA. It's a win win win for the left. They change the landscape of the country and make tons of money to boot and to top it off, they can virtue signal that they are the ones that care for every single human being in the world..
The Colorado Dems want Federal funds and resources, the cities, counties, hospitals whining for $$$$$ to process and settle the masses for citizenship and full Revolution/transformation of culture and governance. Blaming House Republicans for problems and lack of resources; Congress needs all data collected from past 3 years (at least) to see that each home country is billed minimum of $8,000 for each and every person entering that won't leave regardless of reason or excuse given. Price of admission, you're not an invited guest.
Just like NY and Chicago. It seems to all be part of their agenda. Take red money and send it to blue areas. Seems like we are funding our own destruction. I remember that Trump sued to keep from counting illegals in the census because representation in US House is based on those numbers. He lost that case. Bottom line is the more we ship them to blue areas the more representation the Democrat areas will have in the US House.
Socialize the Demise, as they Globalize, and Ultra-Privatize, to Tyrannize
I'm thankful that this is not my final destination. I look forward to heaven when justice will prevail.
It’s worse than you think : https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1747755685704843700?s=67
NY has housed them in schools, shutting down those schools and requiring kids to attend online. There is also an already empty school in San Diego where they are housing illegals. Isn’t it just great! 🙄
We have a children's home with in-house school, for kids who have been abandoned, can't live at home behavior problems, etc. It is supported by local Methodist churches and private donations. The home has been the recipient of bus loads of young children from the border since last year. It is a 'secret' as no one is permitted to talk about it.
Well, a child is a child is a child - regardless of what nationality, and not responsible for their parent's actions.
There’s a lot of them in construction. My neighbor had a pool installed by non-English speaking Hispanics. He had a roof installed by different non English Hispanics -one of which was a child around 11 or 12 years old. It was extremely upsetting for me to see that boy going to work on the roof. My neighbor only commented that he was probably an unaccompanied minor. He didn’t care about the child at all.

Tucker Carlson did a piece on Twitter about Chicago - this clip from YouTube, not sure if it is an abbreviated version....
James Okeefee of OMG (citizen journalist) has been doing many videos on these places where they are taken to, then hidden behind walls and fences with tarps hiding them from the public. He recently video tapped a place in Tucson. He has been doing many videos for the past month on the white busses and Where they go.
Trying to talk to the drivers.
He was on the east coast and southwest.
X Tucson resident.
Boyfriend worked at DM AFB and it was seen in the beginning of 2021 early in the morning (4am) the white buses unloading “people” and then loading them onto waiting planes on a remote tarmac
Nogales is a quick ride from the old Pueblo

Nick Johnson on his YT channel went down to the Texas border (Eagle Pass) a couple weeks ago. Trying to video and talk to anyone he can.
Redacted on YT recently interviewed 2 brothers who made a recent documentary (their with Muckracker) tracking the entire route the illegals take.
I have to watch it but Clayton’s interview with the brother journalists was eye opening
I’m wondering why isn’t AOC at the border crying?!
I live in Maryland and cannot go shopping anywhere in my area without hearing multiple languages being spoken. Then you have this BS in Aberdeen where a 20 yr old autisitc girl was raped and murdered.
https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1749418630452826187
I believe it is going to get much worse before it gets better and we will start seeing many more violent crimes. Keep your families and guns close by now.
Same thing here. Anytime I go out and about in Charlotte, NC, I hear 4 or 5 languages and none of them are english. I keep asking myself, has this aways been and I am just now noticing? No, if I think back, it really ramped up during the lockdown, when people were home and didn't notice the change. Now they are all here. We have a TON of people that are ineligible to work legally, using our pubic services & schools, not putting into the system, and competing with us for housing, transportation, and food.
I noticed it during the holidays when I was walking down Main St in the small town I live in. I have lived here for 40 years and this was the first time I heard multiple languages being spoken.
Fundamental Transformation was Obombya's promise; what did people think?? Left has called for the "Browning of America" for decades. What they really meant was importing hordes of unassimilated, stooges to wreck it all and let the masses of working and shirking and criminal classes fight over the scraps afterward. Middle Class Equity will be the innocuous term to disguise the chaos and brutality
In Louisville, about 1/5 of the students do not speak English as their first language.
Same here. My fiancee was given flashcards to communicate with all the illegal aliens added to her kindergarten class this year. She says it has made things very hard, especially for the english speaking kids because it changes the class dynamics big time when a portion of them cant take part in the lessons planned. She said the administration is pushing all of the kids through to the next grade regardless of if they met the required milestones or not. She is worried because she said the teachers in the higher grade levels report the same thing.
As a teacher in South Florida, having multiple non English speaking students, takes away teacher time from the rest of the class. You literally have to plan so much extra to service them, all while maintaining a positive environment and dealing with unruly behavior from kids who don't care about learning.
It can be done in a better way like putting an aide or volunteer to help the non English speaking children. I worked at a poor school and they do not have the same resources as affluent schools which makes it worse.
I went to college to make less than a garbage man.
I quit over mask wearing. Never again... and neither will my children go.
Hard way to learn a valuable lesson - but one which will literally save your children.
We can only do our best and trust God.
Funny thing... I told my classes that garbage men make decent money more than teachers and proved it. Surprise...
I graduated college in 93 and went to a Christian non catholic college and they were far from perfect but better. Teaching and schools are very different now and I saw the change. It was still bad though in the 90s with having inclusion pushed. I had a down syndrome child and he would get into all kinds of things making a mess and annoying others. He was sweet but he didn't want to try and was frustrated. At the same time, every school had to have a certain amount of minorities so it was hard to get hired. I was passed over for a job at a school I loved and subbed at for a year when a minority applied at the last minute. The same hire had me sub for her and she left me notes for the class. She literally used improper verbs and she was expected to be teaching them to 1st graders!!! How did she even write a paper in college and graduate?
My last child graduated last year and is definitely NOT going to college but trade school.
My oldest is ready to have kids and wants me to homeschool them so...
Check out "Mike Rowe Works" scholarship program for.trade school. GREAT program.
Thanks
The unruly behavior is rampant in our district, and we don't have as big of an ELL problem as some of the bigger cities. But the administration does not back the teachers, and many are leaving. Inmates are running the asylum, but the board is majority D (4-3) and will not address it. Working to flip it in April, with 2 very strong candidates, although a lot of damage has been done already.
If everyone took their kids out of public school that would solve it. Either change things or dissolve them. In the meantime working parents can take turns with each other educating their children in groups.
I support this, but then wonder if things would REALLY change. In the end, do they care if the classes get smaller and their job of brainwashing fragile minds gets easier? The locals won't allow you to NOT pay taxes so who would care?
There would be a lot of empty buildings and people out of work.
Desantis gives a lot of public funding for alternative education like homeschooling and private schools. They would have to do something if all these parents demand the money their home public school would have for their kid.
Please don’t automatically equate the speaking of a language other than English with illegals. I was born in the US but grew up speaking a different language with my parents and also speak a non English language with my children and spouse. But we all speak perfect English and are not illegals. I’m sure a lot of the ones you have seen and heard may very well fall into that category but I am just cautioning you not to jump to conclusions every time you hear someone not speaking English.
This latest view is not confusing your situation with what is happening now, by any means. University town all of my life. Same routine pretty much, shop in the same places, attend same events, etc. My local Publix sees a huge difference between now and 3 years ago. It is not just different languages, it's different demeanors, different behaviors, different selections. Stood behind the family in front of me with two shopping carts crammed with products unknown to me. You see, our Publix has added far more "international foods and products"... not hard to see. Their purchases were 80% sodas, sweets, beer, processed foods, processed bakery goods, and it was stunning how many Visa cards they produced! The tab was nearly $800 for
80% junk food! The elder of the group produced the stack of cards, then wrapped them in a rubber band before returning them to her pocket. They were a group of five 20-30 something
males, two females with infants and older children plus the elder. How do you feed that many people with sugary sweets, sugary drinks and sodas, and junk food? Spend govt support.... I don't know. None of them spoke a word of English. Nothing I saw prior to 2021... This is an invasion.
Just a thought - sometimes people buy that kind of crap food to resell it. Whenever my store has a super sale on pop, this one customer comes in and buys 2 shopping carts full. He then takes it to his convenience store and re-sells it at a substantial markup. Our manager has talked to him, not because she wants to stop him, but because she wanted to know how anyone drank that much pop and he flat out admitted what he did.
I'm not saying there is not a huge problem and it's possible they really do eat all that garbage. If so, their life spans will certainly be reduced.
Agreed. However, I understood their Spanish and it seemed to me to be for their consumption... And, yes, you are correct, so much for a healthy lifestyle. The canned dried beans they bought were the cheapest, numerous packages of tortillas were the same cheapest. No fresh anything. Charcoal, foil, t-paper, detergent. They loaded everything into an old, beat up truck, some of the men climbed in the back of the pickup, everyone else crowded into the pickup. No childseats, no elderly men.... I've seen folks at Sam's and their purchases for resale. I do not believe this and the other similar groups I see frequently are resale purchasing.
Well that re-sell practice has been going on forever. I worked for Aldi in the late 80's and we had a binder of tax ID letters for lots of small businesses who would buy mass quantities for either resale or for their mom and pop restaurants. The restaurant owners said Aldi was cheaper than their wholesaler as they didn't get the volume discounts. Anything bought for resale was exempt from sales tax. Although I guarantee random personal purchases got tossed in the cart too under the auspices of a business purchase.
But yeah, way too many of the food stamp customers were cringe back then too. A cart load of prepared food and junk food, and if their total went over, the first things that got taken off were fruits and vegetables.
"If so, their life spans will certainly be reduced." And likely see chronic disease for want of proper nourishment. Good for business in the medical-pharmaceutical complex, which is primarily institutional with reimbursement contracts through both managed care (what a euphemism!) and public programs. Can't refuse care and all that. Yadda. Downward spiral on numerous levels. Human tragedy. Insupportable. ...No answers. Sadness, anger difficult to rationalize away > personal tragedy multiplied by how many clear-seeing Americans plus the fight with the other side of the divide; how ugly will it/we get (justified, but still ugly)... Speak for myself?💔
Guys we didn't take them to raise. Let them get a tooth ache and go back home. I don't care, just send them home.

Oh yeah that’s an interesting point!
Look at Disney to see unspeakable behavior. When I was a child no one pooped in line. Now it is common there.
We don't do Disney anything. Our daughter danced every Thanksgiving and Christmas for years at Disney. But that was back when she was in her teens and early 20s... and we got in free. No more.
See, that is additional and potentially relevant information. Not just based on the language. Although I would argue that the international section of the supermarket is equally likely to have been influenced by more travel abroad and more interest in ethnic foods in the past couple of decades. But yeah the rest of it is definitely something that makes you wonder 😕
But also don't assume it isn't illegal.
If it is different from what you experienced, say, three years ago it is reasonable to conclude it is illegal.
Possibly but like I said, I’m sure people wonder about us when they hear us out and about but my point is, wait for other evidence than simply speaking other languages. There are far more bilingual families in this country than there were 20 years ago.
Yes! And speaking another language is a benefit to the American born, not a detriment. I worked very hard to teach my children the language of my grandparents. It has greatly enriched them imo. Knowing another language opens your mind to a different culture which can never be experienced the same way in another country without really knowing the language.
Indeed! And we can be “real” Americans if we speak other languages in addition to English.
In my hometown (just up the hill from Fetterman's) there have been multiple ethnic groups, many self-segregated into individual neighborhoods, since the industrial revolution. The 1910s thru 1940s saw tens of thousands of Poles, Germans, Slavs, Hungarians, and Irish land in the Mon valley and go to work in the mills and mines. To this day, toursits come to Pittsburgh to enjoy the still-extant and thriving "ethnic enclaves", and the FOOD!
Yes. People have an inherent comfort in finding people with the same heritage, traditions, mindset and language. Especially when they’re new to a place and surrounded by everything that is unfamiliar and strange to them. And even more when they’re rejected by the people who are already there because they’re told they’re different, odd, or interlopers. So they gather together.
Yes, I agree. Both sets of grandparents immigrated and my parents learned English in school. HOWEVER, they learned English in class without aides or language assistance! That was how it was done.
Yes exactly and that was very effective. Children learn very quickly in an immersion environment.
Unfortunately.
Unfortunately what?
My father was a first generation Greek American. At home, he spoke greek, primarily with my grandmother. But like all other immigrants (like your family too it sounds like) English was society's language. Thanks to the GI Bill, he went onto an Ivy League education (back when that was something to be proud of). I personally think that allowing "Press 2 for Spanish" was instrumental in weakening our culture. A blended culture worked because people worked hard, assimilated and shared values. With that base, our cultural differences could be celebrated. But without any common base? Now what?
Same background here. My grandparents were Greek immigrants and they were proud to have learned to speak English so well. My grandfather became a successful businessman so it was important as well. Ofcourse, they spoke Greek at home and taught their children.
As for the Press 2 for Spanish thing, I think that what our country needs is the same English language assimilation importance that our relatives faced, (this eliminating the press 2 for Spanish) but perhaps we could as a country, take advantage of so many Spanish speaking immigrants, and use it as an opportunity to get our American children to be bilingual. We are the only country I know where the population only knows one language fluently.
Yes there needs to be a common base and generally shared values.
Oh c'mon that's not that common. You are probably a family of one in a million that does that. If you are choosing to speak a different language out in public then be prepared bro be judged . And what do you care anyway what people think ? Apparently you don't , so don't be telling others what not to assume. You set yourself and your family up for it by simply not speaking English in public. Just sayin.
Um you’d be wrong, I am very connected to bilingual communities and it’s far more common than it was even 20-30 years ago. And really? I set myself up? You clearly know nothing about what it takes to support a bilingual child’s language learning. I don’t care what people think but I do object to someone equating speaking another language to being an illegal immigrant 🙄 That is totally simplistic. All I am saying is, don’t jump to conclusions without additional evidence. Why is that so hard? I think that is one of the problems of our society, people love jumping to conclusions before they know the whole story.
I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with calling on people to NOT jump to conclusions. I am all for securing the southern border. At the same time, I welcome legal immigrants here. We have several legal immigrant families in our neighborhood, and they are all such lovely people. America is a melting pot and always has been. It is sad to see Americans become extremists and hateful, instead of keeping cool heads and kind hearts.
It’s not unkind to want to protect your culture and heritage which is now being degraded and destroyed. We weren’t always a “melting pot.” It wasn’t so easy to become an American in the past.
Of course it is not unkind to protect our culture and heritage. You misunderstood my meaning. But America has had the culture of melting pot since it's beginning when Europeans came here for religious freedom. And it has continued. Immigration should be done legally! I am completely opposed to Biden's policy of letting in illegals! Furthermore, who is it that is really degrading our culture and heritage? Isn't it the extreme leftist policies of our own "President", et al, who are destroying our history, Constitution, freedoms and rights, including the legal process to become an American?
People in Montreal have been bilingual for maybe two centuries. Ditto Hull, across the river from Ottawa. Ditto cities in New Brunswick.
Yes! Indeed. The same in many other countries and regions. Being bilingual does not mean you can’t belong to or identify with the broader culture. And there is much less stigma about it generally speaking than there was maybe fifty years ago. Lots of people now recognize the advantages of bilingualism and understand that it doesn’t automatically mean people don’t want to integrate otherwise. But there are still a lot of misconceptions as certain comments today have demonstrated.
Real Americans speak English. That’s the language the founders of this country spoke. It was a mistake to allow immigrants in that don’t assimilate and make English their primary language. It’s what is dragging America down to craphole territory. If people want to speak the language of their mother country they should move back there.
One of my Polish grandmothers, who immigrated to the US, loved this country and raised her 11 children to be Americans. They became lawyers, doctor, teachers, secretaries. She, however, could not seem to acquire the new language; it was too difficult for her. She was content to live in the Polish culture, but she loved to try speaking words from Bonanza, her favorite show.
Not all have the ability to learn, fluently, another language.
Speaking another language doesn’t mean you can’t or don’t speak English.
The US has no official language, and several different languages
were spoken during the founding of the US.
I'm trying to say that you have as little right to try to control or suggest what people should think as I would to tell anyone how to speak in public . You do you and everyone will think whatever they want.
Lol I’m not trying to *control* anything 🙄 I’m just making a point that using limited information to reach a conclusion can be misleading. I’m not sure why my suggesting an alternative way of looking at things or cautioning not to hastily draw conclusions is controlling 🙄 It’s in the same vein as not assuming when you hear someone with a southern accent that they’re an ignorant hick. You are free to do what you want, though. If you want to make erroneous assumptions based on limited information and seem uninformed then you are of course have every right to do so. I’m just putting this out to people who might like to hear other perspectives, which doesn’t seem to apply to you so not sure why you’re so upset about it 🤷♀️
We are being invaded right now so I look at things a bit differently than I did a few years ago. Because of that , I find I am more concerned and notice more. To be frank , I do not go around making assumptions etc. My point was more about being told how I should think about what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears when I am out and about . Times are very different now.
I get that sensitivity to this new situation but I disagree that I told anyone how to think. I just politely (I started my sentence with “please” for goodness’ sakes!) requested that people might want to consider another possibility as a reason people in public could be speaking a foreign language together. That’s all. I’m really not sure quite how you got “controlling” and “being told how to think” out of that. You are free to jump to conclusions as much as you like or use whatever information you have to decide what to think, I don’t really care. I just personally prefer a more rational analysis and less knee jerk emotional response and thought others might appreciate a different perspective as well. If you don’t, fine, just scroll on by 🤷♀️
Funny because I see your need to suggest how people should perceive your speech out in public as being the knee jerk, emotional , reaction. You obviously assumed what people think about your language and felt a strange need to educate the masses , lol. Bye bye , now.
Limited hangout
Well, I do think it's more common to retain one's native language than it was a generation or 2 ago, and it's a good thing. My great grandparents were immigrants from what is now the Czech Republic. My grandparents and their siblings were never taught Czech, and my grandparents never cooked any Czech dishes. I didn't think to ask, they've been gone for 40 years now, but only learned of Czech food when we started going to different ethnic festivals. A good friend's mom was born in Italy, met her dad when he was stationed there in the Army, got married and moved to the US. She still gets together with friends from Italy for card games every Sat night and they all speak Italian, but she never taught the language to my friend or her siblings. I asked her why once, and she said, what's the point? She does cook some great Italian food though! Bottom line for me - I think it's good to retain your language - where I draw the line is when these groups insist that they be accommodated in their native language. I recently read that a local school district (KC) has hired a bunch of translators to accommodate parental notifications and communications, and that the primary hospital that provides indigent (uninsured) care has had to do the same.
See, that is a bit of a conundrum. Especially as regards health care. If a patient doesn’t understand what the provider is saying, how can there be informed consent? And how can the care be appropriate if the doctor and patient can’t communicate? Plus it opens up the hospital to potential liability if there is a miscommunication. So maybe the non English speaker should be responsible for getting an interpreter? What if a person doesn’t have the means to pay for one? In the past, people’s children or friends or relatives would serve as interpreters but there are huge problems with that. There are potential conflicts of interest (relatives have been known to purposely withhold information or change the meaning of what was said), these people don’t necessarily know the medical terminology in both languages so that opens up a whole host of potential issues, and minor children should NEVER be put in the position that they have to be a party to and bear responsibility for their parents’ medical care. This is not going to the store for clothes or groceries. So what do you do? Even people who are trying to learn English, if they haven’t been here very long might not understand medical terms. They might be able to get by in English, even, but it is really likely they would misunderstand or miscommunicate in these situations especially in more stressful emergency situations or serous medical problems like cancer or an autoimmune disease. So yes, I get the frustration with the cost and provision of these services but what is the alternative?
As for schools, I have mixed feelings about this. There are confidentiality issues and terminology that make a professional interpreter a better choice, but in many ways it does seem like the parents and school officials should just figure it out like they used to do. I guess the idea is it’s easier to support learning and discipline when the communication is smoother though.
My problem is not so much the interpreters, I guess, its just one more line item in budgets that are out of control, and if we push back against any of it, we are told we are xenophobic, racist, whatever. Not totally new, I remember reading an article back when my kids were in HS in the Obama years that said Garden City KS (western KS, meatpacking plants) school district had 35 languages spoken! Part of a controversy in KS at the time over 'underfunding schools' (which has been the mantra everywhere as long as I can remember - it's never enough). So multiply that cost by every school, every hospital, every government service. Somewhere, there is a tipping point where the cost of helping assimilate 13? million or more new residents starts to strain budgets, services to existing citizens, and our tax bill. Our property tax bill (~65% of which goes to schools) went up $1200 this December. Insult to injury when every other bill is going up and we had to dip into savings to pay the tax bill. We are lucky we have savings, some people are either going to have to sell or lose their homes because they can't pay the huge increases. And yet, the county is putting another tax on the ballot in April....and these so called refugees are also getting gov't checks, taxpayer funded services, and potentially voter ID's.
Oh yes I completely get where you’re coming from on that score and agree with your sentiments. The flood of non English speaking immigrants including children, must be stopped.
That’s what I’m saying- how can you tell?! There’s no scarlet letter to differentiate a legal from an illegal
You can somewhat tell in CA and AZ. They’re all wearing matching (new, clean) sneakers. Truth.
It’s not always difficult. One key way is if they don’t speak English. The illegals generally have a different demeanor and dress differently. I lived in Mexico, had a Mexican stepmother so it’s not difficult for me. Admittedly, there are many illegals I wouldn’t recognize from just a look.
I’m sure there are ways to differentiate but it’s probably more subtle or requires additional information.
With this new mentality I will fear discrimination for my granddaughter whose American father of Latin descent has a Spanish last name.
ENGLISH ONLY in the good old USA !
That gives us a huge disadvantage in the international arena (business or politics). Speaking other languages IN ADDITION TO English is not a bad thing.
Haha I went to high school in the 80s and it was pushed on us to learn Japanese… How’s that going?!
Nowhere because they did it all wrong as usual. Children learning in immersion settings is a far far more successful method than some nonnative or even native speaker teaching a group of 20-30 kids for 45 minutes a day 3-5 times a week staring when the are teenagers. Pretty much completely useless, a waste of time and money but the school systems are very good at that!
I had a year of French in high school....my very southern country accent didn't help. I learned and retained nothing. Now.....my typing, sewing, and home ec classes have served me well. I started a small business making and selling custom full front end fender covers for the home mechanic. Im doing quite well in my retirement sewing a few days a week. I make more than i did teaching with 30 years with a Masters degree and work a hell of a lot less. Thank you sewing classes!
Funny, schools no longer offer typing, sewing and home economics anymore. But, they do teach racism, body mutilation, and pop a pill for an ill. How is that working for us?
My two older sisters had the same school experience. By the time I was old enough to learn them, the homemaking arts had been removed from the public school curriculum. This was in the mid-70s. I suspect the decision was fueled by the women's liberation movement. I MISSED OUT! My sisters patiently taught me those skills (the very basics), but to this day, I long to master needlecrafts to the degree that my sisters did because of their many hours of classroom instruction and hands-on learning.
We still had Home Ec in school. I was resistant and did not learn a thing. Even my mother gave up trying to teach me to sew on a button. Yet I began to want to sew clothes in high school, making all kinds of mistakes of course! When I had children, I would sew for them, because they didn't mind my mistakes. Years later, I learned pattern making and began to produce sewing patterns; Victoria Jones Collection . My pattern making teacher expected us to be accurate within 1/32" by hand. I loved it all and still do. The sewing book we used 40 years ago is still being reprinted today and to my mind, is still the best general sewing instruction book: The Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing. $21.50, and you can sew anything!
To this day I still use the cooking skills I learned in home ec, although they called it foods and nutrition by then. My mom, god rest her soul, taught me how to cook by using box mixes and cans, but that class taught me from scratch.
I learned to cook from scratch in school also,
while my Mom was not a terrible cook, I became better. I remember the days of Good House keeping 'recipes', Combine one 8oz can of XYZ with a 12oz box of ZZZ......etc.
BOOM. Mike Rowe thanks you for endorsing trade education and entrepreneurship.
💯
The classes from school that have done me the most good in life, were cooking classes. I have been able to prepare excellent healthy meals for myself and significant others.
Exactly: total immersion.
Yes this!
...but you can congregate the Hell outta verbs! HA!
Later Jay
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Sorry, I meant conjugate but of course if you congregated a bunch of verbs you could possibly conjugate the Hell out of them. Possibly???

Conjugate a Congregation? Sounds kinky.
Unfortunately we were told bilingual was the way we had to go. Everything is now in English and Spanish,
Which I think is wrong, bilingual doesn’t equate to Spanish and English, and why should they get preferential treatment when there are other languages spoken and why should it be assumed they are too dumb to learn English and need the crutch of dual language signage?
I did take some Spanish, but didn't apply myself. Immersion for me was a better way to learn. I regret not making the effort, because in the construction industry, Spanish is widely spoken. It helps to build relationships.
It’s almost always a better way and something that is quite rare in our education system though not unheard of.
I wish I knew more Spanish. A lot of my customers speak it and they are polite people who I wish I could communicate with.
Influx here in Columbus, Ohio, too, although we have always had a high number of international folks, both illegal and many legal. If I had time and money for parking, I'd love to check out Port Columbus (the airport) to see who is living there.
You would think ONE security guard who is helping to house illegals at airports and everywhere else would open their mouth and start talking.
Yes need more whistleblowers!
No getting better. We`re done
They are keeping them at airport terminals in empty wings. (Among other places like hotels and even some gyms at schools) I saw a clip of it on Twitter, they are packed in and have beds on the floor, all behind black curtains with security yelling at anyone who tries to look. James O Keefe also posts some of this video footage on Twitter

I used to live in the Chicago area and remember the time they kicked the homeless out of the airports. Shades of the Tom Hanks 2004 movie, “The Terminal.”
How do they know if those illegal aliens are terrorists?
Nothing like shutting a major airport with a terrorist attack.
Well Kathleen, the aliens are the little green one and the terrorist, no so....

Was this sarcasm, or are you just too far North? Yes, we have seen them, by the thousands, well over 98% of them 20-40yo men. We’ve seen the abandoned “tent cities” when they are moved, who knows where, but I can guarantee, it’s not back out of our country. We’ve seen them delivered to Yuma in luxury busses, all wearing matching sneakers and line up to receive what I can only assume are motel vouchers along with a pile of green bills (couldn’t see the denominations, but they each walked off, some counting them. Word from local restaurant workers is that they’re also given debit or credit cards too. The cash is for ‘incidentals.’ If you’re not seeing this encouraged invasion for what it is, you’re simply not paying attention.
That would square with my observations recently of groups of 3-5 men, working age but dressed casually and not for work, piling groceries and supplies into one or two shopping carts at the local Winco. I guess they can do it if they have been shipped in and were given debit cards for food purchases to stock whatever fridge is in their refugee accommodation. Winco is popular with every demographic and is very multicultural, but these groups of men stick out like a store thumb. Middle of winter; there's no construction work or landscaping work or agricultural work, per se.
Sorry, this is the one I tried to delete as being too inflammatory. Maybe not.
Inflammatory can be a good thing. We need to speak out!
We do! I will add that tptb really are trying to keep everything under wraps. We don’t see the illegals on the city streets often; it’s in these remote, rural areas. BTW, these small towns are seeing their economic situations improve on the taxpayer’s dime. Motels and restaurants (other than McD’s) used to be largely underutilized. Now they’re often busy .
We need to ask WHY, why are we taking in 10+ million illegals at this particular time ?
https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/report-claims-more-than-10-million-illegals-have-crossed-us-border-under-biden/
Because they will NOT be loyal to Americans when they are recruited into our military, our police forces, etc. etc. When given the orders, they WILL take us out without question, if they refuse to follow those orders, I am sure they and/or their families will be killed as well.
Apparently, NY and possibly Chicago, are already going around the illegal labor laws and employing them in the police force, think there was an article a few weeks ago about NY finding ways to employ them - I think they already have. Beware of your surroundings and ways to escape if you are ever pulled over and you wonder who the hell pulled you over and for no reason (don't give them a reason!)
And the invaders won't mind if a 'foreign power' sends in blue helmets, steels what what little is left of a country, and locks us up and/or murders us for resisting one world total control. And force up us no God but 'them'.
Bingo. What else could be the motivation for hundreds of thousands of military aged men coming into this country?
To your point: https://amgreatness.com/2024/01/22/white-americans-are-quiet-quitting-our-leading-institutions/
I agree with the article, I wrote a comment last week about that. I, a female white, middle age, RN, Vet w/disability, previous VA worker as an LPN applied here in NC, didn't get the job even with previous experience and Vet preference. I asked or wondered to my husband why I didn't get hired, he pointed at the sign that says "come work here" or something to that effect and said because I wasn't one of them. The picture showed a trans "woman" and a black woman only. I will not try again, not worth my time.

Yeah, no! Will not allow another needle to pass through my skin, no thanks!
They will need to be deported or eliminated.
They are in shelters throughout Chicago from what I’ve read, from police stations to a huge chunk of O’Hare where they are screened off from public eye.
O'Hare moved where buses for hotels pickup people because that area of the airport now houses illegals. That was a news story a few months ago.
For now I believe they’ve been bused primarily into sanctuary cities like NY, Chicago and parts of CA. No doubt, they will be dispersed throughput the country in the near future. We live in a city of <200,000 and during the Obama administration, 7000 Somali people were brought to our town. We heard that they used agencies such as Catholic Family Services. Jobs were provided, I know that large numbers of the men are bused to meat packing plants in the area. However assimilation has been difficult…children thrown into schools with no English language, or basic cultural knowledge. We’ve heard wild stories like children and adults defecating on the floor in Walmart, and one woman started an apartment building fire by building a fire on top of the stove, because she had been told to cook on it!
I rarely see them in our part of town, they seem to stay pretty much in their own community, but you will sometimes see them at Sam’s or Walmart; many of the women still wear traditional Somali dress.
But I fear much worse with the group coming across now, because it looks like an army of young military aged men, awaiting training and marching orders.
We’ve had an influx of illegals. The owner of a local thrift store took out the fitting room because too many people were urinating in it. They’re ruining this country.
James O’Keefe and OMG are doing some fine work exposing the operators. I believe Jeff has cited this work in previous installments
James O’Keefe’s OMG has/is producing a series on illegal immigrants and the NGOs sponsoring them. Well worth watching and supporting his investigation. He shows you where our tax dollars are going!
I fly through ORD often and have noticed all the illegals sitting or sleeping all over in the baggage claim area. I try to take a carryon because it makes me uncomfortable; they’re often standing around the baggage belts, too, and I wonder how many bags go missing. Yes, I realize there are cameras but I also know how lax on crime they are in Chicago.
Yes, we have seen them! By the hundreds, and that’s a snapshot, briefly passing through. I’m sure it goes on 24/7. Luxury busses, totally out of place on the dusty back roads of Yuma and Ajo and Gila Bend, dropping off 20-40ish yo males. We’ve seen them line up and patiently wait to receive a stack of cash, and what appeared to be hotel vouchers. Local restaurant workers say they are also given cash or debit cards. We’ve seen their matching sneakers, and their abandoned “tent cities” (high end tents, all matching too) and the remaining debris when they move on to who knows where.
I wrote another response, but decided it was too inflammatory, so started to delete parts and it disappeared. I can’t find it, so my apologies in advance if it turns up and offends anyone.
Anyone notice that there is no media coverage of all this, except the occasional token family (that I swear was shopping in our local supermarket the prior week)?
Seriously folks, read between the lines on this one, and it has zero to do with compassion.

Our bright President has them housed in hotels for which WE the taxpayers fund. Let’s Go Brandon!
And as I understand it, New York has a law that they must be housed. Not too long ago, some city tried to move them from hotels to a huge tent and the illegals refused. They know their rights…our tax dollars pay for their attorneys. WTH!?!
