Lake Ontario? Do you know how easy it is to get into Cananda or vice versa via our Lakes alone? I can't even count the number of times I have sailed or boated out of Erie Basin Marina and ended up at the Buffalo Canoe Club without issue. Or, taking our boat from the Lewiston Boat launch (near the old Riverside) and end up at Niagara on the Lake - without issue. Good luck man. That's hardly comparative to what's happened on our border with Mexico which is an organized and well funded (much of it US taxpayer money) operation of various government agencies, NGOs and other groups collectively organized to move a massive number of people across land, sea, and air to the southern border for a crossing into the United States using the ruse of "asylum" as a pretext for entry.

The US acquired Catholic territory (New France, New Spain) by conquest and land purchases, then acquired large influxes of Catholics later by Ellis Island and, even later, the southern border.

No, see - that's the Trump position - since we don't have to do anything more about this until January 2025 - which even then - won't happen - cuz it didn't happen on Trump's first watch. 10 minutes ago, All_Pro_Bills said: That's hardly comparative to what's happened on our border with Mexico which is an organized and well funded (much of it US taxpayer money) operation of various government agencies, Thanks for proving my point.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) 21 hours ago, LeviF said: Mexicans are overwhelmingly catholic (strike one), often mestizo (strike two), and don’t share a language (strike three). maybe it's your writing. What did you mean by this? Strike one implies a negative connotation, right? or did you mean that there aren't many Catholics in the US sharing Mexicans beliefs? You're right, I'm confused by your statement. But I have some ideas.... Edited February 26 by Joe Ferguson forever

I have a lot of respect for medical doctors and the training and education required to obtain that title, but man you guys are literally the opposite of the “jack of all trades” trope. 1

And this is how you defend your statement. Not buying it. You're clearly anti Catholic like so many far right extremists and hate groups. They're real and pervasive in some parts of the country (think deep south and white hooded robes). Sadly, our faith has its own subset of extremists. To wit, B man.... 1

I have never been mocked for my faith by anyone on the right, but many on the left have attempted to mock my faith. You literally must call anyone who's not a braindead liberal a right winger with this kind of characterization 2
Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) I didn't say "the right" but certainly some of the far right are anti Catholic. Which party do you believe the KKK identifies more with? And I'm still searching for the motivation for Levi's clearly anti Catholic sentiment in regards to Mexicans. 1 strike against a group of people is never a good sentiment but perhaps you share it and would like to explain the rationale. Levi clearly won't and will pretend he meant something else while not explaining. Familiar tactic amongst the extremists and their leaders. Edited February 26 by Joe Ferguson forever
