“Immigrants AND refugees are the seeds of America!” What does this even mean? I bet American Indians don’t use such handy euphemisms to describe the immigration that destroyed their culture.

Janus execs make 6 figure salaries taking advantage of grant money related to the 37 year old 1980 Refugee Act meant to deal with Cubans and Vietnamese. It’s time for reform and millions of people voted that way.

The only principle of America that matters is that it’s a democracy. Sounds like you have a problem with democracy and you’re grasping at straws. It’s an understandable dilemma. I’m sure you believe in democracy but you can’t come to grips with the fact that it went against you this time. Hey, you win some you lose some.

Regarding: A Mexican child born in Texas is not a Mexican, he or she is an American under current law and that’s off topic.

Refugees vs immigrants? Come on, one is a subset of the other and you’re being pedantic. To Trump’s base it’s irrelevant

You’re missing the big picture. Trump won on a base of disaffected blue collar workers. They apparently exist in the 10s of millions and they vote. Not only did Trump beat Hilary he beat the Republican status quo as well. It was an astounding piece of work. I’ll say it again. If Democrats don’t want a 2nd Trump term then they better come to grips with blue collar America. What’s really funny is the Democrats used to be the party of the blue collar worker.

You need to read The Downside of Diversity and The Atlantic article on Democrats and Immigration.

I have lived in more than one “diverse” neighborhood and exactly as described in Downside of Diversity, there was little integration. There was little participation by immigrants in the local gov’t. It is not a panacea and to think otherwise is naive idealism. I guess I’m just an outlier and my experience is useless anecdote right?

And finally, I bet I’ve done more to help immigrants and poor than 90% of the people out there. You’re just going to have to take my word for it but I’ve worked in a couple of businesses which focused on the 99%. Honestly, that path was probably a mistake, it’s pretty hard trying to get rich selling to poor people unless you’re a Walmart or something.

EDITOR NOTE–Time to go to your rooms and be quiet for awhile. You guys have each had more space than the original story times about 4! Comments closed.

First, there is a difference between immigrants and refugees. You are confusing the two.
Jannus works with refugees.
US Dept of State works with immigrants.

Immigrants AND refugees are the seeds of America! Any opinion not embracing that fact is just ignorance.

You typed, “Citizens can’t afford to go to college…”
Yet you are implying ‘we’ should ‘subsidize’ them to go to college?
In YOUR own words, “IF they want to {go to college} on their own means, then fine”.
IF a “native born”?
So a Mexican child born in Texas (to a non US Citizen) needs their “social safety net”, right? Are you okay with those second generation immigrants, or is just the ones with blue eyes?

To correct your misunderstanding Cynic, we are not “resettling immigrants”. We help resettle refugees.

Cynic, you simply need to pick up a book and read about scapegoating- exactly what you are doing- best reference is Europe in the 1930’s. Maybe you can use Google for a search on the topic. Google, a great American company started by a couple of immigrants. Maybe YOU, personally, “subsidized” them too. ha! 🙂

But first, try to decide if you are scapegoating “refugees” or “immigrants”.
Big difference!!!!

And then read this a few times:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Those “Americans” who don’t believe in the principles of immigration and providing shelter to refugees, do not understand the real principles of America and humanity. It is ignorant Nationalism. It’s sad!
Perhaps they should be cast out of this land and be refugees themselves.

Why do the execs at Janus aka Mountain States Group ada Agency for New Americans make six figure salaries? Why don’t they just volunteer their work? And why do they need to hide behind so many names?

Look around you. We have native born people who can’t afford to go to college and yet we’re shelling out how many $billions to resettle immigrants?

If they want to come here by their own means, then fine. There is only a finite amount of taxpayer fund to go around and it is a huge slap in the face to native born citizens to have their social safety net cut only to fund immigrants.

Everyone notice how Easterner didn’t address the emigration issue to Canada or Australia or China or the UK?

You need something like $500,000 to emigrate to Australia either that or a business that can instantly employee at least 10 Australians. Maybe they’re immigrant hating bigots too, huh?

Don’t even try to emigrate to Mexico, it can’t be done.

In America, we have what is described as the two biggest hate groups in America, the Democrats and Republicans, who are both laser focused on the belief that their team would succeed if not for those hated others.
“Politically moderate” is code for ideas approved of by the Deep State.
The “political fringe” is used to discredit anyone with beliefs not manufactured and certified by the corporate media.
In reality, the political fringe are the only folks worth listening to, since everyone else is just regurgitating Deep State propaganda.
Easterner, your red pill awaits, just swallow and say goodbye to The Matrix.

I can create a website announcing “Rednecks for Hire” and then publish false statements that “Rednecks for Hire” is available to crash your wedding (or political rally). And I’ll bring a professional photographer too.
Maybe HuffingtonPost will pick up my ‘false story’- that my business paid a million rednecks to show up at the last inauguration.
May I put the address of “too quiet” for contact info?

“A false flag” in Charlottesville? fake stories and idiots are roaming wild!
Such statements are sad.
Hey, too quiet, I suppose you and Alex Jones still think 9/11 was an inside job. Please hide in your closet forever.

From the folks at the Chateau, a poem by Saadi:

Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.

If you’ve no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain!

“or, one can be anti-people”. :-/

I agree with ProudAmerican, that it is shameful that an elected official such as ACHD Commissioner Goldthorpe, makes such an opinionated statement (chickened out. stonger than that). But then he is simply in the shadow of Trump and some elected Idaho legislators, such as Heather Scott (fully endorsed by IFF); being right in-line with the extremist, nationalist ideology.
Perhaps the guest speaker (Murray) could divert his IQ research to IQ tests of IFF members and Idaho TeaParty members- the typical rural, white, uneducated, religious person, who wants to scapegoat immigrants and minorities for one’s perceived circumstances. If IFF is truly concerned about Idaho, they should be finding ways to maximize K-12 education funding in rural Idaho. Rural poverty and the related ignorance is Idaho’s issue, not racial profiling or “paid protesters”.

If anyone finds it necessary to join such a group and offer your money to their objective, one might want to ask what the real motivation is.
People who tolerate such negative opinions from other people are just as bad as those generating the vulgar words and ignorant opinions. Hitler killed himself; his disciples were put on trial.

Engaging in debate and free speech is fine, tolerating ignorant speech achieves nothing.
Perhaps C. Goldthorpe and ACHD would like to host IFF at ACHD’s public auditorium.

Good job to the Riverside for pulling the plug on IFF’s plan.
