These people are being used as pawns. It would not surprise me in the least if this whole thing was financed and supported by pro trump (so he could build that wall) or anI-Trump (portray him as a despicable human being). Shameful.
why don’t people around the world want open immigration? One reason is here in the US we are not even taking care of our own. The number of people with no access to medical care is growing. Our schools are no where near the top in the world. We have homelessness, drug crisis, drinking water crisis (Flint is just one example), our own Veterans not receiving adequate medical care and so on. There are Americans who have for generations worked and paid taxes all over Florida, California, the Carolinas etc. who are living in tents and sleeping in cars due to natural disasters. Should they not be our first priority to help?
non assimilation into the American culture is another. The fear of Muslims, gangs, terrorists and so on. The news photos of a woman alone with three kids and pregnant is a picture of someone who will require a tremendous amount of resources before she and her children will be able to give back. Plus many of these young men, the majority of the caravan have admitted they want to make money to send back to their families left at home.
So right or wrong, this is why they are not wanted by many here and why Donald Trump was elected and still enjoys over 40% support, despite all the ugly tweets, criminals he has surrounded himself with and lies.
i understand that you don’t have to pay the full amount back, but your still screwing someone over.
As to my financial situation, I paid for my college by working construction jobs during the summer months and breaks, I did borrow a small amount, but paid it back in full, with interest. I also paid for much of my wife’s college and my two sons.
i decided to quit working just before I turned 50, no pension, just savings and investments. My wife also retired at 50, although she is 3 years younger so not at the same time. I have not worked in 11 years and my net worth is higher now than then, even though we spend approximately 10k a month, not including taxes.
When I got out of college I married my wife a few months later, she was 19, I was 22. She now has a masters degree and specialist. We got married at Fort Knox on Saturday and I was at work in Texas on Monday. I owned a pickup truck but my wife had a few thousand in school loans. So not much net worth to start with.
Good post flowerseverywhere! There’s so much here with our own American family that needs help with out letting more in who need more help.
dmc: Don't you worry little buddy, you'll get your chunk of the change I borrowed. I only have a 1% chance of getting my loans forgiven anyway.
See this:

I don’t understand why various ones of us continue to think that ultralight is not paying off his loans. The loan Forgiveness program is in place to pay him back for years of work. He’s paying his loan by working it off. He’s not in default like so many others.
I also suspect the people throwing rocks and tearing holes in fences may have had something to do with it.
If you consider long wait times to be a sufficient provocation for that sort of thing, I would like you to come with me next time I go to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
