We're experiencing an interesting development related to Border Control. Three of the regular border crossings here have been closed, suddenly and intermittently. The latest is now closing off all non-commercial vehicle crossing from Mexico into the US at the Pharr International Bridge. No reasons given.
Edited by jar, : left out which crossing is the latest

Is there Social Security?
Does Medicare exist? Are there public highways? Are there Municipal Fire and Police Departments? Are there street lights? Is there an Interstate Highway system? Do US Highways exist? Are there Public Water Systems? Sorry Charlie but all of those are Socialist Programs.

Sorry but how do they control the production and distribution of goods?
A single payer medical system does not control the production or distribution of good, only the financing of them. So far I see no difference between public highways, public fire departments (at one time they were not public but rather private) or medicare or social security.

Sorry charlie but that is not socialism but rather self preservation and meant to protect even the fools that deny such things are needed. They are no different than any other laws and mandates need to stop destructive behavior. Edited by jar, : fix attribution

JonF writes: We HAVE breathable air and drinkable water. But we also have special interests who have a financial stake in selling fear about those things.
Yes. Although the air has gotten a little worse in the past two years. Wait until the effect of deregulation really kicks in. Some of us are actually old enough to remember quite well when we did not have clean air or drinkable water and were adults even at that time. It is only through legislation that placed limits on just how much pollution US Capitalism could dump into the air and water that we have any breathable air and any drinkable water. Unfortunately, in the case of drinkable water US capitalism has refused to do the necessary maintenance and upgrades needed to deliver drinkable water and also continues to pollute our air.

It's only a problem if folk want it to be a problem. What if instead of detention centers we funded orientation centers where folk got medical care, a short course on US laws, job training or job placement and send the folk on their way to becoming citizens?
The cost would be he same or less and the outcome would be an enthusiastic workforce.

Chris writes: the problem with that is the resentment it would cause from the fact of millions of homeless in US citizenry. Which is yet another disgrace found in the USA. So let's address that issue as well.
Chris writes: not to mention the baddies like ms-13 and other criminals that kill citizens who aren't overtly interested in rehabilitation They are and have always been a minority and we already have a legal system in place to address criminals. Maybe it would make sense if the USA moved the resources it wastes fighting peaceful folk looking for a better life or on the War on Drugs towards feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, comforting the sorrowful, healing the sick, sheltering the homeless, protecting the helpless.

... is that he really isn't dead. They substituted a look-alike and he has been smuggled out of the country and to an estate in Argentina.

It has been announced that the US will not give the Flu vaccine to detained immigrants even though cases of flu and even deaths have occurred.
Just another example of the planned cruelty policy of the Trump Administration. The man is simply unfit to even be in polite company.

I think he says these things as sound bites to drum up his supporters to feverish heights. He must think his supporters are as deplorable and totally out of touch with reality as he is. Edited by jar, : a ---> as

Maybe he actually had someone read (since it's obvious il Donald can't really read himself) the 1924 Virginia Racial Integrity Act to him.
