You saying it's not anti-Israel?

It's the country they've sanctioned more than any other.

It may not be perfect but there's many worse places, that certainly seems like unreasonable bias to me.



There are many worse places on the UN HRC, which is why it's such a fucking joke.

There is a time to try to be part of the solution, and there is a time to no longer be associated with the problem.

You're in favour of stopping American funding to Israel?

First of all, thats an unproven claim. Secondly, we are told the Dreamers should not be penalized for what their parents did, but i guess we can now.

What's with all the giant pictures?

How come they're allowed in Politics but not in the Arms?

Is this some some of independent fiefdom?

Given the number of refugees the US MIC has created around the world, including the Americas, what is the procedure there for refugees turning up at the border? Some displaced people say from Honduras (which has had a coup backed by the US to install puppet leader) head for the US, who instigated their displacement, how does the US treat them?

They are not really supposed to turn up at the border and get captured. the correct way is to go to a port of entry and ask for asylum. However being from Honduras does not guarantee you get asylum.

The news today is the kid on the cover of Time magazine was not separated from her mother. Her mother took her, against the wishes of the father, who has a decent job in Hondurasl, left 3 other kids with him, because she had always wanted to live in the US. That is not how asylum works.

Do you know the procedure for Central Americans getting asylum in Mexico? :leer:

2012 US State Department estimates suggested there are between 800,000 and 1 million Hondurans living in the United States, nearly 15% of the Honduran domestic population. The large uncertainty is due to the substantial number of Hondurans living illegally in the United States. The 2010 U.S. Census counted 633,401 Hondurans in the United States, up from 217,569 in 2000.

Apparently, the Hondurans are not exactly sure how it's done either, but that hasn't slowed them down. :ooer:

No I don't, like I don't the US. Which is why I asked.

Wouldn't it be better not to create all these migrants by meddling in other countries? I thought that was what Trump promised, no more wars and all get along. Is he a liar or simply controlled by the MIC?

Is that a bad thing? Countries are always on about growth and the way to get that is more people. It's why immigration to western countries is so encouraged. More customers, tax payers and borrowers If they did GDP per capita, there would be marked differences in how 'successful' various countries really are. It's simply a numbers game to get growth.

There is no asylum in Mexico.


Our meddling probably has some effect no doubt. But we currently have 37 million immigrants living in the US. I doubt all of them are here because of our meddling. I know you find this hard to believe, but there are billions on this planet that would move here in heartbeat, if they could. No meddling needed.

One of the biggest immigrant groups here are the Chinese. Can't blame us for that. :more beer:
