I am not sure human and drug traffickers would come in legally in any case. I am thinking of the Dolal Idd types. We need a short leash on these types of people that are not showing respect for laws.

I think there are a lot of people in this country including citizens that are not respecting laws and not enough is done about it. I think a big part of that is various systems are simply overloaded. I think it would be beneficial to find ways to lessen what needed to be enforced. Legalizing marijuana would likely help in that regard.

I agree, but also think we don't lock enough people up. Interesting at church tonight they had a group about rehabilitation of men coming out of prison and helping them become good citizens. I am hoping to get more details on what they do.

I read something on twitter that showed people going to department stores in California, gathering up as much merchandise as they can hold, and then simply walking out with it. The reason? If it's less than $1000 the police will not make an arrest. So basically it's literally a free for all. People are going to be forced to take matters into their own hands. I can't see how it ends well.

Monster, question for you. How do you feel that your kids or your neighbors kids will have to wear a mask at school, while the government is letting anyone cross the border, many Covid positive, without even testing them. Are you starting to get what's happening here yet?

Saying the government is letting anyone who wants to cross the border is simply untrue. Don't complain about people lying about one administration and then saying things that simply are not true about another one.

Yeah, you're right. They won't let the freedom seekers from Cuba in. But c'mon, if you make it to the southern border from Guatemala, Haiti, or Mexico - they are letting you in.

It appears Biden has retained some of the previous regime's immigration policies, including Title 42... despite it being ripped by allies AND ignored or dismissed by many republicans.

Presidents of all kinds can't win when people so clearly already made up their mind...

Well...it turns out they aren't letting people from Haiti into the country either. What else don't you know?

They most certainly are, what is your source? I get my information from the left leaning Twitter.

As I had asked previously, if you are a socialist we don't have to bother with these arguments. At least then we can agree we have different ideologies and have an understanding we won't find common ground. Is that what this is?
