Yes. I'm not sure if you're unaware, but despite making progress on rooting out corruption and battling the cartels, they still have a ways to go. And some of the cartels operating there also operate in countries with the asylum seekers are fleeing from, and that's who they're fleeing.
I mean, do you think that these people who are making such a long journey wouldn't have stopped in a closer country if it was safer? They're not exactly making the journey because they'll be welcomed with open arms in the US.
Given the $100s if not $1000s that migrants from all over Africa magically have to hand in order to get to Europe, $50 is nothing. Need many more zeroes on the end TBH. Still, I guess if even a few are discouraged from going to the US by $50 then hey, it's something at least.
Still not tired of winning.
This is much less than what it costs me to exercise my Second Amendment right. Something that explicitly states "shall not be infringed"
Less than the cost of a passport.
Hell, it's less than the court fees for filing bankruptcy.
having extra money so you can buy a gun or get a passport to travel is not at all comparable to fleeing for your life with what little you can carry likely from a country that you were already living in poverty in and with out a favorable exchange rate.
mabye if you see such things as more important then actual people dying because they can't pay such a fee you should do some serious reflection on your morals.
I'm not talking about buying gun, but just the cost to acquire permission to exercise the right. You probably assume no one has ever lost their life due to being forbidden to exercise their 2A right.
what about bankruptcy fees? People who are so burdened that they are unable to feed, clothe or house themselves are forced to pay a fee to the government just to have the consider their circumstances.
A government's concerns should be for it's citizens. In times of plenty, when citizens are fully cared for then it should look outside it's borders and help others.
I'm still waiting on any of these conservatives to answer the simple question of "why don't we want immigrants" that isn't obvious pivoting onto something else.
the difference between buying a gun it self and having permission to have a gun is meaningless both are about buying a gun. as to what if's about people dying because they don't have the 2A there's a thread that and you should head on over to it if you want to talk about the right to bear arms.
It should likely be done away with but the two still aren't comparable.what about bankruptcy fees? People who are so burdened that they are unable to feed, clothe or house themselves are forced to pay a fee to the government just to have the consider their circumstances.
talk about bullshit don't pretend that you actually care about citizens being cared for.. America can fully take care of there citizen's it just refuses to and that refusal shouldn't be a blanket pass to ignore the plights of other's.A government's concerns should be for it's citizens. In times of plenty, when citizens are fully cared for then it should look outside it's borders and help others.
Of course racism is really short hand for xenophobia..
Also nazis had no issue putting white people in concentration camps, communists, socialists, gays, and jews, if they were any or all of that the nazis were happy to see you to a camp.
Edit: The last sentence was merely because both racists and nazis were mentioned, i am not making specific claims anyones a nazi..
