I’m curious
I have been thinking about something on and off for awhile and was wondering if someone could help. It has to do with all the undocumented people who are entering our country, mostly across our southern border with what it looks like with nothing more than the clothes they are wearing. How do they travel so far without the means to take shelter at night, eat drink and take care of their bodies needs?
How did the person who invented the first clock know what time it was?

The ones you are talking about, with only clothes on their backs, are doing it by the simple will to live. Their current situations are so bad, the idea of working on a farm picking fruit or other low pay, high labor is worth a 500 mile walk and having nothing.
But we all know that most are drug smuggling murderers. Right?

I believe most of them are seeking a better life and are willing to sacrifice and work in order to achieve it. I can’t even begin to imagine how bad the circumstances must be from wherever they are coming from to endure the heart ship of such an arduous journey.

Bigfoot, you sound like a liberal thinking that way…. That said, liberal politicians talk that way, but action is lacking or horribly implemented.
To me, there needs to be trade agreements with Central American countries and other incentives for companies willing to produce some of the low paying junk manufacturing that we rely on China for. This provides jobs for these people keeping them there, while less reliance on China. It also pumps more money in their communities allowing for more of their money to fight the gangs and not our money. I’m all for “bringing manufacturing back”. But the low paying junk manufacturing that we all take advantage of, if relocated in the US with livable wages, would triple the price. The more lucrative manufacturing, make every effort to bring back here.
Many times “their problems” are our problems in an international economy. Like most complex issues, solutions are rarely ever solved by political one liner rally chants or concepts of a plan…. Maybe this time will be different?

Hope springs eternal! Actually I would consider myself a compassionate conservative.

The ones -and there are many thousands from across the ocean didnt swim to the Southern border and its highly likely many -not all but many didnt walk over a thousand miles from deep in S America either.
Food isnt found along the roads nor is water all the time either.
There are many down there who are from up here greasing the wheels.

I was trying to find the vid I watched some years ago. a man and his girlfriend traveled from central America thru Mexico and swam across the Rio Grande and walked into Tx I can't find it now They rode freight trains most of the way north They weren't without means and were able to buy food and bottled water in the towns and villages along the way (as were most all the others in and on top the trains) Here's a vid I watched some years ago too. the land trip from south America to get north of Panama is pretty perilous The Darian Gap The World's Most Dangerous Journey? ,,KTF

I've watched clip after clip of the invaders coming across on Fox for the past 3+ years. They appear to be clean, (meaning showered and clean clothes), some carry a knapsack, and nearly all of them carry a cell phone, most notably an Apple, not cheap. (I know I can't afford one). They don't look like they're starving, although many need water, as would any of you after a couple of miles walk in the south Texas heat. The NGOs are taking very good care of most of them to get them into the US, and it remains to be seen if the NGOs are actually getting federal tax money, because we already know that under Biden, Fema used their funds here in the US. And what about the 325,000 that Biden flew in? Who paid for the planes, the fuel, the people, the takeoff and landing fees. That took a lot of cash.

Whenever you want to know what the Democrats are up to, watch what they accuse the other side of doing.
