You Just Can't Make Up Something Like This & Ever Think it Could Be Real

[Nevada Convert]

Mexcio, the land of barbaric slaughter with out of control drug cartels, where 1,000's of Americans have been kidnapped & butchered, where 3,000 people are murdered in the streets each year in Juarez across the border from El Paso, Mexico wants to take legal action against the US for allowing 3 Mexican Nationals from being "barbarically killed" by the mall gunman in El Paso. Perhaps these 3 people should've just stayed at home in Mexico where it's so much safer. I can't wait to see the Trump tweets on this!!!

I just doubled checked, not an Onion article.

Umm, maybe they on to something. The major of Chicago should take notes.

I read an that article this morning. It is odd. 

Here’s an interesting article on deaths in Mexico but it predates the events of this weekend.

Populism.  Obrador feeds off populism and nationalism as much as Trump or Boris Johnson.

Yeah, who could believe that deaths abroad would be scarier than many times that many deaths at home? *glances at one of 50 articles about the DR*

I've always wondered what the endgame for US-Mexico foreign policy for Trumptards is. 

Is it just build the wall, forcibly deport as many of them as possible, destroy NATO, and just not communicate with them at all ever again? 

 

Or do they want to eventually set up an economically exploitative neo-colonial state there? 

 

 

So many questinos.

I really have a tough time understanding the need for a wall outside of xenophobia. Immigrants come through legal ports and overstay visas all the time. It seems disingenuous to call building a wall immigration enforcement without basically increasing ICE resources by a factor of 10x to deal with all the illegal immigrants that do not come from Mexico illegally. But only the bad ones comes from Mexico I guess? I've seen plenty enough from Asian gangs to know that isn't true. Bad actors come from everywhere so the sole focus on Mexico seems very racially motivated.

The really +++++ed up thing is that overstaying your visa is a civil offense, and crossing the border illegally is a criminal offense.

One guess as to how they decided to make that peculiar distinction.....

I never realized that. Very bizarre. I blame Canada.

Well only a small percentage of immigrants are European, so your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they want more Nigerian and Indian immigrants?

I guess if you look at it as they are trying to encourage people who cross illegally to cross legally, it makes a little sense... kinda… but with that reasoning seems to come tacit acknowledgement that people will keep overstaying visas, and they are less concerned about that for whatever reason.

Eh, I don’t know. I don’t think either should be a criminal offense for the record. I just think it’s funny that people assume it’s just a bunch of white people overstaying visas.

They need to finish writing the code on the next release.

backdoor vetting? "I mean, we can't get real reform passed, but if you can qualify for a travel visa you should be able to qualify for a temp stay/ temp work one as well"?
