    What do you want to do to help the 52% of American families with children that live in poverty?

    :Rolleyes Clearly, the correct solution does not lie in importing illegals and unneeded immigrants, yet your own position seems to imply that you think it the best answer.

    Sharing that information here might be ill-advised, Wesley. The sort that would aid and abet would only use such information against the US. It's bad enough already.

    The only reason to do anything like you suggest is to then get rid of the intruders. And that time is now past due.

    He probably wants all the poor children aborted first. Old tripe that they "don't care about the children after they're born", as if murdering them first is preferable.

    Now you're babbling about the Iraq War, but I'm sure you were all for Obama and Afghanistan. But you're changing the subject, or trying to, MY question to you is how can YOU support a party that advocates abortion on demand and infanticide? And you do, it's enshrined in your party's platform and you people fight for this atrocity tooth and nail. How on earth can you justify that as a Christian?

    And don't bother "answering" this with another leftist cliché again. You're a Democrat first, aren't you?

    What is your solution? Cutting our safety net and taking away health insurance?

    Obviously, any safety net for Americans should be for Americans, not for illegals. Your insistence on stealing from Americans and giving to illegals is abhorrent, extremely anti-American. This is one reason why you don't seem to be from around here. Your stance seems invariably aimed at subverting America at every turn. It's why you sound so much like a troll.

    RT, it's the old thing that you have to have either open borders or a social safety net, never both.

    Well, running around posting links bearing false witness, quoting scripture out of context, blasting conservatives that don't adopt your far-left positions and yet supporting the party of abortion makes one wonder about you. And you refuse to answer a simple question as to why you fall all over a political party that supports abortion and infanticide, the same party that booed God at their convention last time, that one.

    Does seem a bit questionable, do it not??
    In this instance just apply "By their fruits you shall know them."
    Using that standard the answer to his "confession" seems pretty clear!

    I agree with a previous poster -- TROLL!!

    Should I play along or not? My initial response was to recommend you do a search and you analyze the results for yourself. However, I decided to supply some websites for you.

    Three should suffice. I could get snarky, but I'll take the high ground!:Smile

    Your perspective is definitely anti-Christian. I'll side with Jesus instead of your perverted image of America any day.

    OK. I understand. You're talking about activity that is illegal or isn't reported to the government and therefore untaxed.

    The purpose of mass migration is to institute global slavery.

    Obviously, this is one point where we differ sharply. Perhaps the biggest problem here is that you paint Christ as a thief or robber, as one who forces "giving". You may mean well, but you are not siding with Christ in this.

    There can never be a good solution to any such situation as long as people are always demanding, always expecting more, and thus never thankful, never content. "The leech has two daughters. 'Give! Give!' they cry."

    It's all about cheap labor. Communists know that we can't assimilate illegals and that our national debt is growing under Trump. Even Cher capitulated on the border and she hates the orange man as much as anyone else in the world.

    No, I don't paint Christ as a thief. He preached the importance of humility and helping the poor. It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The young ruler rejected Jesus' offer of salvation because he valued his wealth more. Everything any of us has is given to us by God. We don't own it.
