detained for 15 months and denied critical medical care

oh look this veteran was detained, oh look this young mother was detained

oh wow

actually stopped someone from having their cancer treated because they were trying to legally migrate through pre-existing judicial processes

OH well yes she is actually an illegal though, thats why she was detained. She should be allowed any treatment she can afford though

"'Sara and her family are overjoyed that she will finally be able to be with her loved ones and receive medical care after being unjustly detained for over 400 days,' said Eric Ferrero of Amnesty International USA."
*unjustly detained*

due to the way population pyramids work in impoverished countries (they have huge amounts of children that dont live very long due to poor living conditions), if dems have their way we will be taking in a huge stream of impoverished migrants *forever* and expecting middle class taxpayers to foot the bill

there are always impoverished people in the world, in many countries

there always have been

have you considered that maybe having less than 1% of the people own more than 50% of the wealth is a problem

https://www.oxfam.org/en/pressroom/pressreleases/2017-01-16/just-8-men-own-same-wealth-half-world

yes, thats a problem but its not related to this issue

so huge amounts of impoverished people has nothing to do with a few people holding most of the wealth

no, migration

concentrated wealth means concentrated poverty

what were talking about is migration

alright then

let's go ahead and take a look at why they're migrating, anyway

we can make their countries better, that will fix the problem

let's start with honduras

letting them migrate will save one generation of hondurans and the next generation will be back to square one, its pointless

http://cepr.net/press-center/press-releases/investigation-reveals-new-details-of-us-role-in-2009-honduras-military-coup

so it would appear that the USA shot themselves in the foot here

let's step back a bit further and expand our focus a bit wider

its true for any impoverished country though

*ruins country*
"wait why do you want to leave"

http://www.coldwar.org/articles/50s/guatemala.asp

the USA also did it in guatemala

when they casually backed a coup and genocide

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/trump-and-el-salvador/550955/

and then in the 80s they supported death squads in el salvador

yes you speak truth, but what i said is still valid. we'll save one generation of x hondurans, guadamalans, *whatever* crappy country, and then the population of the people still there will be the same, because impoverished people have huge amounts of kids, and they will be in the same situation

so theres no point

and let's not forget oliver north

https://theintercept.com/2018/05/12/oliver-north-nra-iran-contra/

my point is

the USA completely fucked up central america so we owe it to them to at the very least give the people fleeing from our own destruction a safe haven

well maybe... you can feel good about that but central america is still going to be a bunch of crappy countries with impoverished people 20 years later...

nothing has changed by allowing this migration

it's a step

we just need to fix central america, i think
