    Yeah, never mind those children and innocents.

    They are just the children of immigrants.

    Not at all. Immigrants come into the US legally and apply for citizenship. They also study American history and learn the language while they await a proper invitation.

    The people coming across the southern border without permission give actual immigrants a bad name. They are illegal aliens, so it is an insult to immigrants to identify them as "immigrants" in any way. This includes idiotic terms like "Undocumented Immigrants".

    'Stuttering John' says he was visited by Secret Service after Trump prank call

    'Stuttering John' says he was visited by Secret Service after Trump prank call

    excerpt:

    "He reached several White House operators before being told the president would call him back. According to the comedian, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner returned the call, connecting him to Trump.

    “Hi, Bob!” the voice identified as Trump is heard saying as he picks up the phone, apparently from Air Force One.

    He referenced last year’s mistrial in the high-profile bribery case against Menendez, indicating he sympathized with the Democratic senator’s case.

    “Congratulations on everything,” he said. “We’re proud of you. Congratulations. Great job. You went through a tough, tough situation. And I don’t think a very fair situation, but congratulations.”

    The pair also discussed issues from illegal immigration to the replacement of Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Trump told Melendez that he was planning to make a decision “over the next two weeks.”

    On his Twitter account, Melendez blasted Trump for allegedly being more concerned with going after him than the staffers responsible for the botch.

    “Alright I guess Donald is more concerned with pursuing this legally as opposed as to firing his screening staff,” he tweeted"

    Like most old men IT security is not Trump's thing. He carries an unsecured Iphone (got to have twitter). Yet Obama's and other important officials had text and the calculator. They have dozens of people around them any app they could need. I see the phone call as the same thing, he's just clueless to the concept that technology can be misused. He will say staffers did but I'd bet he also does not like the word no. He's the president he takes calls you don't tell him no. But shit rolls down hill.

    Trump is the type of person who encourages operatives of a foreign government to release stolen information on one of his political opponents.

    It goes back before Joe McCarthy to the early 1900s. Look up Ludlow Massacre and Centralia Bridge Lynching. Commies have had a bad rap here, even when what they said was truth. The Grapes Of Wrath told a good story. The Jungle told a good story. The value of nearly everything is in the labor. Maybe Obama's father was on to something. He was a PHD student when he was here.

    This might be deeper than the first article. Maybe the Russkees have a plan for the fall months before the elections. Trump 2020 has hired the same people from Cambridge Analytica already.

    Protesters flood U.S. cities to fight Trump immigration policy

    Protesters flood U.S. cities to fight Trump immigration policy

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON -- They wore white. They shook their fists in the air. They carried signs reading: "No more children in cages," and "What's next? Concentration Camps?" In major cities and tiny towns, hundreds of thousands of marchers gathered Saturday across America, moved by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, in the latest act of mass resistance against President Trump's immigration policies.

    Protesters flooded more than 700 marches, from immigrant-friendly cities like New York and Los Angeles to conservative Appalachia and Wyoming. They gathered on the front lawn of a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, near a detention center where migrant children were being held in cages, and on a street corner near Mr. Trump's golf resort at Bedminster, New Jersey, where the president is spending the weekend."

    Mujahideen Shura sounds more like an Afghan group? If Shite then totally different from the others. The Sunna groups wanted to take Iraq after the fall of Saddam. Now we need to ask who paid them and gave them all the $70,000 America crew cab pickups?

    I believe the trucks were left behind after the Iraqi war.

    Yes, but at least we're giving the kids due process. Three year olds are being allowed to plead their cases before judges! Seriously!

    If you can't defend your land, it's taken from you. This has been humanity's norm for centuries. Brutal? You betcha. The comparison you seek serves no purpose in this discussion, the nation is not likely to revert back to a pre-Spanish lifestyle.

    Consider this though, if it hadn't been the Europeans, it could very well have been the Asians. They had ocean capable craft that were basically on par with those of the Europeans. Similar weapon technology as well. However, the Pacific would have been a much longer journey and China was going through various stages of political upheaval that led to centuries of isolation.

    I fail to see the relevance of the "crying over spilt milk" aspect of your inquiry. The primary language in the US at this point is well known. People who don't bother to learn it, out of stupidity, misplaced pride or what have you, put themselves at a significant disadvantage, particularly in the job market. Actual immigrants (the ones who follow the legal process) have a finite list of landmarks they must reach to qualify as Americans. That's not something I came up with, it's been the case for well over a century. It was voted into place by congress.

    Consider though that Ben Franklin wrote a language for Americans because he thought that English should be scrapped. The founders wisely chose to reject it as it would have put the new nation into an instant state of confusion and leave it open to incursion.

    I realize it's popular these days to bag on Americans and compress their history into tidy little 1-liners. But does that really demonstrate an understanding of the history?

    I thought Franklin wanted to redo the alphabet, not write a new language for the United States.

    You dismiss a pre-European history as irrelevant, but want us to study more recent U.S. history. What exactly are we to gain from this? A better understanding of the origins of our governmental institutions that the incumbent President and his barbarian horde seem so eager to run roughshod over? Or do you want us to live in the past, when "you knew who you were then Girls were girls and men were men Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. People seemd to be content, $50 payed the rent, Freaks were in a circus tent Those were the days." Archie And Edith Bunker - Those Were The Days Lyrics

    Indeed, he started with an alphabet.
    [​IMG]

    There was a letter he wrote when he was in France that suggested it as a stepping stone to a new American language. I don't recall who is was to, age is catching up to me. and me.

    I never suggested it was irrelevant, particularly when the truth of that time is being delivered. As opposed to the rose colored glasses view of perpetual peace and gathering flowers and shit that didn't stink.

    While it's not irrelevant, it is very over. It can't be fixed.
