Immigration Ban

It’s sh$@ty, but at some point what can we do? What about all the Africans or Asians that live in poor conditions? What about all those having trouble feeding themselves that were born inside our borders?  I feel for them, and it’s the same reason I’m so glad to be an American, but what can we do? Increase the tens and hundreds of billions that we spend yearly on illegal immigration? Let’s here it. 

I’m so glad your parents aren’t mine

This country is rich enough to take care of all in dire need.  Jeff Bezo’s alone (Before impending divorce settlement) could almost end all hunger in this country with his wealth.  

What can we do?  Something.  Anything that takes care of a fellow human.

Imagine if Bezos could live off a measly 100 million and commit the rest of his fortune to lifting those in need up

 
You guys realize his fortune is in Amazon stock, right? He doesn't have 136 billion in liquid cash. He'd have to cash out and lose his controlling interested to realize that 100 billion

I completely realize that.  If he were to wake up tomorrow and decide to end hunger by cashing in stock, he could lose his controlling interest.  But it’s not that easy anyway.

Right now he’s staring down the barrel of potentially paying half to his wife in a divorce.  Which would also potentially make him lose control of Amazon.

But right now he’s got a team of lawyers and financial planners working for him trying to figure out a way to make his wife the richest woman in the world AND retain control of Amazon.  So that tells me there’s a way that he could do the same to end hunger in America.

But my original point wasn’t to tell JB what to do with his money.  My point was to show that there are obscenely rich people that COULD do way more good than they doing.  They could literally end major strife in this country without hurting themselves financially.  Instead it is put back on the shoulders of those working for the obscenely rich to take care of their fellow human.  As it always has

This part of the article doesn't make sense:

Agents arranged for an ambulance to meet the family's bus at the border patrol station in Lordsburg about 90 miles away.

When they arrived at the station around an hour and a half later, Caal told authorities his daughter had stopped breathing. Border Patrol emergency medical technicians began administering medical care and called an ambulance, according to DHS.

Why would they need to call an ambulance if they'd already called an hour and a half earlier to have one meet the bus?

That's a nice troll by the person that did that.   I'm more miffed/baffled that 4.6 million has been donated.   It's really hard for me to understand that mindset of wanting the wall so badly that you are willing to pony up money for it.

I don't understand why media is giving this attention.  It should be giving more attention to the fact that none of this money will actually ever go to the government to build a wall.

 
First, this is important. Trump wanted SCOTUS to take up this case and declare DACA unconstitutional to do his dirty work for him. They've declined and the next time they could potentially take up a case would be the summer of 2020 during the heat of an election.

It also kind of destroys Trump's offer to temporarily extend DACA in exchange for the wall. It just got temporarily extended anyway.


Secondly, I found this interesting. The derp wherein anyone who doesn't support each and every one of Trump's ridiculous, cruel immigration policies is accused of wanting open borders is deafening.
