Have you been to Southern California? (The most illegal immigrant welcoming state in the United States)

We went went from like an 70% Caucasian, 20% Hispanic, 5% Black 5% Asian population like 3 decades ago, to now entire school systems are about 90% Hispanic, 3% Black 3% Asian and like 3-4% Caucasian.

i really don’t care if they are here on a VISA; any immigrant on a VISA, no matter the nationality, needs to wait until we can get this all figured out; let ICE do their job and get the illegal immigrants out of here. Then once like 90% o the illegals are deported, we can open borders again but with higher restrictions and better defense.
Well no it's just the opposite here in Texas. My mothers family came to New Spain in the 1500's when Texas was part of New Spain and my fathers family came to the US in the 1700's. Texas was part of New Spain until it became part of Mexico and then in the 1830's became the Republic of Texas, and then part of the US in 1840's. So for the first 300 years it was either American Indians and Hispanics until the 1800's when the whites came with their slaves but Texas is around 60% Hispanic and no telling how many are Hispanic/white(I'm Hispanic/white myself). I do agree with you though we need to shut down immigration until we find out where all these foreigners are coming from.

You keep mentioning one ten year old girl who had one traumatizing moment in her life. Yes, that mistake shouldn’t have happened but there are children who have it way worse in this world. Did you live a sheltered life?

No I'm from Texas which was part of New Spain and then Mexico,then Texas and then the US. I see stories like that and what I see is my family trying to come to my house on Christmas from where they live in Mexico and being arrested before they get here. Get it Texas/Mexico once the same nation and so there are multiple citizens from both from the same family being told their cousins,aunts,uncles and grandparents are now enemies and no longer welcome.

I’m sorry that you are caught in the middle of all of that. My grandpa from Hawaii’s family came from Puerto Rico, so I have some Hispanic in me.

Each place has its issues though; I know the Hawaiian natives absolutely hate tourists and will literally beat them down in public if they are being disrespectful. My half aunt, who is actually pretty left, has no patience for tourists and basically wants to shut all tourism down so the islanders and live in peace and reclaim independence from the United States. Pretty radical stuff.
So every state has their issues.

Thank you. Not everyone try's to see the border issue open minded but yes you seemed to wonder why I kept pointing out the Legal verses illegal part . I have never been to Mexico but I have family members who are Mexican citizens who travel back and forth several times a year until now. It's actually a frightful thing to wonder if I will ever see some of them in person again if we are arresting legally documented people with valid passports and visas. God save us all.

Now I think that is more traumatizing then what that little girl went through, especially if they come over for holidays every year.

i know, cause i decided not to show up to any family holiday gathering last year cause i was seeing someone whose father just passed away and i think it was traumatizing not seeing family those holidays, even though i felt like I was doing the right thing by keeping her company when all of her family are dead.

I always wanted to go to Mexico but was told it wasn't safe so they always came here on the holidays. The little girl and her brothers and sister are US citizens so they will need to hide them because they are worth a lot of money in Mexico. https://travel.state.gov/content/tr.../traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html

Jeez. I’ve been to Mexico once when I was 18 and it was one of the funnest times in my life before Jesus that I ever had. I have a pretty horrible story, where I went strip club hopping in Ensenada, with a bunch of guys who were having a bachelor party nextdoor to the beach house we were staying at. That is all I’ll say in public.

I've heard quite a few funny stories of Mexico when we all gathered together for holidays myself,some real funny and one or two really tragic stories. I enjoyed the conversation with you but I have a few things to do so good night my friend.

My best friend in elementary school Michael, is half Mexican, half Czech. We would visit his gangster grandpa in the California desert every year and having a lot of get together with his family, really great people. His mom was super strict though but she also was the President of a company, so she ran that house like a well oiled machine, as a single mother. His father passed away, I think when he was 4 years old. So I never met his Czech father.

Is this quote in the Bible? Because I dont see it anywhere.
I see “be still” though, “and know that I am your God.”
The Californians who packed up and moved to Tennessee are cowards. They aren’t warriors. They are more in love with the world and the comforts it brings them, than actually sticking it out, to battle it out.

Thank you. I could open the link. I dont trust Putin. Ucraine will pay a high price to got peace with this criminal murder.
Mr Trump and his team are not helping. The opposite. They regurgitate Putin's lies and seek to throw Ukraine under a bus. Mr Trump has done great things in the Middle East, but Ukraine/Russia is a different story.
