NOT Donald Trump There's your meltdown *curtsies* My physical therapist is a Mexican immigrant. He told me in no uncertain terms that he was voting for Trump this election, and it would be the first time in his 25 years living in America that he would be voting for a Republican. He was very upset about the open border policy that let millions upon millions of migrants into the country with little to no vetting. He followed all of the rules, and it upset him greatly to see millions of people not having to follow the rules that he followed. Also, he was he was even more upset that the lack of vetting let tens of thousands of violet criminals into the country, many of whom have been responsible for the violent deaths of woman and children. Many of those women and children being Hispanic immigrants who followed the rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 1 hour ago, SectionC3 said: Yeah he knocked it out of the park with health care reform the border wall and the handling of the pandemic. My beefs with him aren’t necessarily policy related. I don’t share his policies, but that’s not a problem. My issues are grounded in morals and integrity (he has none). And the dirty little secret is that he’s frankly not effective at governing. He just doesn’t get stuff done. Time will tell if that changes. He’s got his shot, and it’s MAGA’s turn to try it again. Good stuff, S3. Can't argue your perspective. @4th&long, we were discussing whether or not conversations lead to people changing their minds, or considering alternate opinions. I told you my experiences here--S3 is a poster who educated me on a particular topic a while back. Something like this post is easy--it's reasonable and while I think the topic of "morals" in politics generally is kind of funny given the last few dem nominees, I certainly can understand his view on things. I'm typing all this at the risk of summoning the ghost of L'Ron and his fireworks/a-bombs/sex toy/apples analogies--that's how much I want us all to heal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point Steve. People don’t realize the cost it takes to legally come in to the USA. It’s a lot of money for people in countries with stable economies… Imagine coming from one without that or a low GDP? There is several steps to the process and you aren’t even guaranteed if you’ve paid. Get to the final step and are denied a temporary green card? Well, you start all over again; fees included. I see both sides of the issues, some don’t have the financial means etc and choose to risk it to better the lives of their families but like you alluded to, if someone has spent their life savings and managed to get her for a better prospect or future why should others be given the free ride because now all of a sudden it’s deemed a right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back--I nearly tagged you the other day but know you don't always like to be dragged in. Hope your wrist is healing well!

It seems completely consistent that they may feel that a person/persons bypassing the system with tacit approval of government ae taking advantage of the system.

Its a career ender.
