Pretty literal NIMBY for borderland owners. Not that I disagree with them.

I would be cautious quoting anything the NYT, Time, Newsweek, NPR or anything from the left media. Their agenda is to turn America brown again. But a wall along the border won't do anything unless the United States is willing to enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books. We should try that first. If that doesn't work then we can try the Israeli option.

Can't have that, can we.

 

[quadraginta]

Can't have that, can we.

Certainly not again. It took us a couple of centuries to put them all down the first time.

Don't want to waste all that hard work.

The term "NIMBY" is usually used for something that will benefit others while potentially harming you if you are close to it. Doesn't really apply here.

Do you think that there needs to be some sort of border security for the US?

Chris B.

Are you suggesting the Dems think there should not be? And is this a purely binary situation for you? (a) Trump's beautiful 40-foot concrete wall, or (b) Nothing at all except a welcome sign?

That's exactly how Trump loyalists are framing it. Trumpanzees want a wall. Democrats want open borders. They don't care if it's a lie, they will still say it.

 

[thaiboxerken]

To Trump loyalists, there is an invasion happening. It's been happening for decades. They see their white privileged, culture threatened by a multicultural society that accepts people of all sizes, races, cultures, genders, and sexual orientation. This is what their wall is about, this is their national emergency.

They are trying to make the whole USA into their own gated community? Seriously??

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Pretty literal NIMBY for borderland owners. Not that I disagree with them.

So you think the rest of us need said wall and these guys just don't like it?

Couldn't possibly be they have a front row seat to the faux emergency?

I strongly suggest you stop drinking that koolaid before you get a toxic dose. You're already exhibiting symptoms.

 

[Lurch]

I'm at times ashamed to be white. The fearful members of my tribe here in North America need to have it pounded into their skulls that they are the progeny of an invading horde of illegal immigrants who displaced and slaughtered the indigenous peoples on an almost genocidal scale.

Now they have the hypocritical temerity to claim that they are under seige. Even though the current crop of immigrants are demonstrably *at least* as peaceful as they.

The unmitigated gall of that lot of privileged, hateful, selfish, un-Christian (for that is what most *claim* to be) ingrates disgusts me. To the point that I derive some joy from their futile alarm at the browning of the white lands.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I'm at times ashamed to be white. ...

I'm not. Those white supremacists don't represent me.

Yes...only trust FOX News, Breitbart, and Infowars because they've earned the reputation for being fair and balanced. All else is Fake News. Their agenda is to Make America White Again...well...except for the brown people needed to pick our produce, clean our homes and mow our lawns.

I'm not criticizing the objections of the landowners. I'm just pointing out that it's a literal application of "Not In My Back Yard". It's an ever so slightly humorous aside, not anything more.

I said I don't disagree with the expressed sentiment. Geez Louise.

Exactly

I was just asking Ginger if she thought we should have some border security. Some think the borders should be removed.
