Orlando Buffalo Posted January 1 Posted January 1 8 hours ago, Steve O said: re I believe that sanctuary cities do not increase crime. - cities don't increase crime, their policies allow for the increase in crime rates. re I believe that illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native born citizens. - To use your term, "Illegal immigrants" have committed a crime by being here. Their crime rate starts at 100%. Any additional crimes committed by illegal immigrants (again, to use your term, I prefer foreign invader) are crimes that would never have happened had sanctuary cities enforced federal laws. re I believe these things because they are supported by data and studies. - These data and studies are selective as to which crimes they choose to include. Again, they choose to exclude immigration law. re Therefore, I believe that people whose arguments that sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants increase crime rates are either ignorant or lying. - Actually, and again, people who argue in favor of sanctuary cities are the ignorant and lying, and selective as to what laws they choose to include in their argument. I recommend not arguing with him anymore, he likes to combine legal and illegal immigrants in his argument. He also believes that ICE is a right wing disinformation group because otherwise he does not understand math. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/politics/nyc-home-nearly-60k-criminal-migrants-report.amp

B-Man Posted January 2 Posted January 2 “Conspiracy Theories” that came true: 1. Noncitizens voting. 2. Illegals migrants are being flown into American cities in the middle of the night. 3. Covid was a lab leak. 4. Eating the cats and dogs. 5. The border is not secure. 6. There were informants working with the FBI at the capital 1/6. 7. Hunter Biden laptop is real. 8. Masks, vaccines and social distancing never worked. 9. Biden has dementia. 10. Fauci funded gain of function research. 11. Kamala Harris is very popular.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Greetings from Cuba, the first communist country I’ve ever visited. Firstly, it’s likely not going to be communist for long. The embargo and the easy access to green cards from the US for Cubans is taking its toll. 10% of the population has left in the last 3 years. Ask trump and Rubio about automatic green cards for Cubans. Seems antithetical to his proclaimed immigration policy but that’s how they roll. All that said, it’s a beautiful country with friendly people. I’ve yet to see an armed soldier or policeman. I’ve walked the streets at night both alone and with others with no problem. They’re low on oil getting almost all from Venezuela. Secondarily there’s garbage in the streets because the trucks have little gas. There are blackouts everyday for 1-3 hours for the same reason. Since we are with a university group, we met with several journalists and artists They admitted censorship but not at the cost of imprisonment. Anti government material results in harassment and at worst, exile. One of the artists painted the famous Obama sketch in light blue after his visit here. No problems for that. They were very hopeful til trump took over for him. We go to Jamaica every year. The standard of living seems much better in Cuba. So communism will likely fail here ( the journalists agree) but it hasn’t done badly compared to other Caribbean countries. Havana has a university for 60000 students that is free. Healthcare is free. maybe there’s a happy medium… Edited January 6 by Joe Ferguson forever 1
B-Man Posted January 6 Posted January 6 But what would he know ? Another January to remember Cuba American Thinker, by Sylvia Canto Jr. Cuba became an independent country in 1902. You can divide the island’s history into two periods: the pre-Castro years and the current regime’s period in power since 1959. I was born in the last decade of pre-Castro Cuba. My story so typical of the other kids born in the 1950s. We were the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of immigrants from Spain or elsewhere. Our ancestors came to Cuba because it was a prosperous island, an attractive place for Spaniards seeking a better life, for Jewish refugees from Europe, hardworking Asians, and others. It was a young and vibrant country with hope and a future. In other words, the island of Cuba attracted people rather than driving its citizens away looking for a future. It is really sad to watch Cuba today, from energy blackouts to importing sugar. Let me repeat: importing sugar. As a result, the young escape and look for a better life, preferably in the U.S. The old get stuck behind. As I saw yesterday, Cuba is on track to have the oldest population in Latin America. It is even more painful when you realize that pre-Castro Cuba attracted thousands of immigrants from all over the world To wither is to shrivel, fade, decay, or lose the freshness of youth. Cuba is indeed withering today. So another January to remember the tragedy of Cuba and how much longer it will go on. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/01/another_january_to_remember_cuba.html

But the pre Castro years were not good for many. Very good for a few. The mafia ran Havana with all the decay that culture brings. Many of the early emigres after the revolution were tied in and lost everything. They and their descendants lost a great deal and have great resentment. So take all that bitching with a grain of salt. A Cuban American in the Miami airport was appalled that we were going there. She told us the government was starving all the people. I have seen a single malnourished Cuban or even a dog or cat and we actually went to a squatter community that the government ended up providing water and electricity for. To be fair, we saw a dog with mange there. Cuban history has many more than 2 historical periods. To say so is ridiculous. As with most things, it’s nuanced and complicated. Very little is black or white. Edited January 6 by Joe Ferguson forever 1

Healthcare is free. maybe there’s a happy medium… You make it sound pretty good, what with the blackouts, censorship, gas shortages, accumulating garbage, and the threat or exile for complaining about blackouts, accumulating garbage, censorship, gas shortages, harassment and/or exile from the homeland. I'm not sure how you square the 'free' part of education and healthcare given the other concerns you've raised here. Question--are the educators immune to threats of harassment and exile, or do they generally follow the directive of the government? 1

Very little is black or white. You can't seriously believe what you have just wrote? No one with an ounce of sense or intelligence doesn't realize since Castro took over that Cuba has turned into a shell of what is was formerly. I will take the word of the Cubans I know whose relatives were murdered by the Castro regime, and just because Bautista was his version of bad does not mean Castro is not much worse
