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?

    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.

    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.

    They are being housed, clothed, fed and transported by the Drug Cartels. They are making billions off of the sex trafficing. You gents that think this is cool and they are just looking for a better life are full of **** or you are some of the ones that are sex trafficing the 300k kids that have been lost by Sleepy Joe. You want them here then you whiney bastards take them into your home. Not one **** dime of my tax money should go to any illegal Immigrant.  SEND THEM ALL BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM. Don't like that then maybe you can go with them.

    Hunter Biden was convicted on a gun charge and income tax evasion.

    I thought republicans didn’t believe in taxes and want everybody to have all the guns they want. So what’s the problem?

    At least Biden pardoned himself, essentially, by giving Hunter that blanket pardon (or $crewed himself).  Be interesting if/when they get Hunter on the stand for something and he can no longer plead the fifth.  Wonder if he will fall on the sword for his dad ber perjure himself?

    Where did I ever say there wasn’t human trafficking? That is common knowledge. To say that millions are crossing illegally and it is all run by the cartels is the delusion. They are opportunistic scum, they aren’t orchestrating moving millions of people, feeding and clothing them all on the way as some are trying to say. They are intercepting these vulnerable people. Sure, there might be a few that started in their countries looking for criminal activity, but the vast majority are trying to escape cartels, gangs or horrible governments.

    My view is to try to fix their homelands so they don’t want to come here. Where is the discussion about that? Sure, address those here and try to stop more now. But where is the discussion on actually trying to solve the root of the problem?

    If your roof is leaking, do you rip out the damaged ceiling, put up new and keep redoing? Or do you maybe see if shingles are damaged and attempt to fix the root of the problem?

    The United States has the largest gold reserves in the world, with approximately 8,133.5 tonnes. The next largest gold-holding countries are:

  • Germany: 3,355 metric tons
  • Italy: 2,452 metric tons
  • France: 2,437 metric tons
  • Russia: 2,299 metric tons
  • China: 1,948 metric tons
  • Switzerland: 1,040 metric tons
    • Japan: 846 metric tons

    • India: 785 metric tons

    • Netherlands: 612 metric tons  









    Governments store large amounts of gold to protect against economic shocks and hyperinflation, even though money is no longer backed by gold. Gold reserves are considered important national assets and can influence economic policies and wartime strategies.  



    Australia is thought to have the world's largest unmined gold reserves, estimated at 8,400 tonnes. Russia is second with 6,800 tonnes, and South Africa is third with 5,000 tonnes.

    How does a father pardoning his son set a horrible precedent, while Trump pardoning Flynn, Stone, Bannon, Manafort, Kushner, etc.. is ok with you? 
     
    Here is a man in his twilight years that lost a wife and daughter in a car accident, and a son to brain cancer.  How can you be critical of him protecting his only living son from a vengeful incoming administration that vows to prosecute the "Biden crime family".  I think most fathers would do the same thing.
     
    I would think less of Joe Biden if he didn't pardon Hunter.
