Your whole series of posts to me on this and the “list” thread smack of someone with an air of superiority. So superior that they cannot acknowledge that they called someone out as a liar and a racist by mistake. And I’m not talking about myself, here, although in the past, you have (both overtly and covertly) implied that I, too, am a “racist.”[/quote]
I never said anywhere that “I feel” or “I felt” anything. McConnell is a liar. McConnell is a racist. He just admitted in the last 48 hours that Trump is a racist. And he’s still supporting him anyway. And I think you’re a racist too. I don’t need to apologize for that. You do.[/quote]SK, you’re blinded by your “my way or the highway” mindset. You have essentially called me a racist for bringing up here the massive costs that CA has incurred for services for (as well as criminal justice system costs for) illegal immigrants. I’ve seen it first-hand for the past ~40 years and CA’s “unfunded mandates” over that time frame are likely in the $1T+ category by now. There are dozens of websites (some govm’t websites) detailing in lengthy reports this massive outlay of cash by CA taxpayers over many years due to being unreimbursed by the Federal Govm’t for these services. Everyone in government in CA who has any power at all is acutely aware of the adverse affect illegal immigration has had on this state and has had their own dept’s budget suffer because of it. All the while many of CA’s highways have been crumbling for years.
You’ve chosen to “shoot the messenger” who dares to discuss CA’s most prominent, seemingly intractable, elephant in the room, here. It doesn’t make you “look good” by doing so.
If Trump believes he can have a wall built along our ~1000 mile southern land border to protect this country’s interests and stop the sieve of northbound people (nearly all “indigent”) who are an endless money drain for local, state and Federal government coffers, then I say let him try. He can start right here in San Ysidro, since it is the largest border crossing of all of them.
This opinion doesn’t make me or anyone else that is in favor of seeing this wall built a “racist.” You might be “shocked” as to how many thousands of native-born or legal-resident persons of “Hispanic origin” from all across the country (incl “border dwellers”) agree with me!
