Lol well BpG was correct after all.

So they buried it that you couldn’t readily see it on the front page. Yea, that’s pretty shady.

Shocking but not racists:

Black People

Asian People

Poor People

Rich People

Smart People

Dumb People

lmao... What we have here is a failure of technical savvy. These URLs are NOT sections. They are dynamically generated results of the search function gernerated as topics with a headline that matches search queries to articles that might be relevant.

But I can see how this might confuse and offend somebody who is less than computer savvy.

If you can show me anywhere that a private company has to let anyone say whatever they want on their platform, I will agree. But there isn't.

The government can't infringe on your right to free speech. Any company has the right to control the content on their web site. There really isn't any true comparison there.

Nah bro, look at my explanation.

Alright so it's not a "Section" per se, fair enough. Open the white people tab and then side by side look at the black people tab.


Go back and forth and tell me there is not a stark contrast.

Man you are going to be hard pressed to find a liberal site that is actually racist or racially biased. Libs would destroy them.

Nobody on the left thinks it's bad to BE white. But we all lash out at those who think being white is in anyway justification for discrimination, racial entitlement, or white supremacy. These are NOT good things, so yes you will see stories tearing them down.

It's ok to be white, to be proud of being white, to be proud of white heritage (not racism or other bad crap). smh

Wall or not, the illegals will keep coming as will the constant flow of narcotics.....Its basically spending billions more dollars to address a problem that we created in the first place.

Its like building a house in the middle of a swamp and then spending more than your house in worth on a cutting edge pumping system to keep the water from filling up your basement and living space.....

You created the problem with poor misguided policy, policies that you've spent billions trying to prop up over the past 60 years, and now, you want to spend billions more on a physical barrier since your previous efforts have been fruitless. When will people realize that the answer to all of this lies in updating drug policy....

Guys, why are we talking about the media when there are so many other places to do so and not talking about the cost of the Wall, when this is the only thread about it?

Come on, fellas. We can agree/disagree on some of these factors regarding The Wall:

--Will it even work? Will people find other ways to enter the country illegally?

--Is it cost effective?

--Should we even build one considering almost all of us came here in search of better opportunities?

--Should we make immigration laws less stringent? Would attempts to enter the country illegally be reduced if we had reasonable immigration laws?

--Is race an issue in being so adamant about building a Wall?

Does anyone want to play fairly? I'm not asking you to agree w/my opinions on these matters. I'm simply asking you to not hijack the thread because I think a lot of these issues are important.

It's funny you should mention that. Here's the latest thing I saw on a news report. Mexicans were paying mules to sneak them across the border paying crazy amounts of money. As of late they figured out a much better plan. You don't need a visa to travel from Mexico to Canada. So the newest thing is for them to fly to Canada for about $300 and cross the northern border. It's a very good read.

This leaves out the legal/illegal component. I'm not saying that the laws shouldn't be changed or altered. There's varying opinions on that. What I am saying is that we have an obligation to try to enforce the laws in place.



I believe in this case you're asking for a blanket answer that actually has multifaceted answers. For some I would certainly say race is a factor. For others I think that it's simply a belief that our laws be enforced. That within our system there are ways to change laws. That it's most likely that our laws be modified but until such time we must enforce the laws on the books. So I don't believe there's a pat answer here that includes everyone much like most topics we see on this board.



I hope you consider my answers as playing fairly.

The wall... lmao They can fly to Canada for $300 and just cross from there! I wonder if Fox News has covered this? Trump's head would explode if he knew.

GOP Rep. Introduces Bill That Would Fine Mexico to Pay for the Wall

A border state Republican congressman is introducing a bill that would effectively use foreign funds to help pay for President Trump's planned wall on the Mexican border.

Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona authored House Resolution 6657, which would establish a separate U.S. Treasury account to "hold deposits to be used to secure the southern border of the United States."

Republican Reps. Scott Des Jarlais of Tennessee, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Paul Gosar of Arizona have signed on as co-sponsors.

Details of how it works would be nice. You going to issue fines to those countries and they are just going to pay them? lmfao
That will be the day.

Of course, I do. I don't agree w/all of them, but that isn't what I'm not asking for agreement. I'm asking for honest discussion. Thanks for answering.

--Will it even work? Will people find other ways to enter the country illegally?

Probably will be effective for a time. Democrats will come into office and cut the budget for manning it in all likelihood and it will be less effective at that point. It would be a deterrent for sure.

--Is it cost effective?

lol definitely not, short term it's going to be an albatross and will take decades to recoup the expense via less illegals on public resources.

--Should we even build one considering almost all of us came here in search of better opportunities?

The infrastructure has to become overwhelmed at some point we have never seen immigration like this in the history of the world and the damages won't be known for decades.

--Should we make immigration laws less stringent? Would attempts to enter the country illegally be reduced if we had reasonable immigration laws?

I don't think so, if we lowered our standards how is that helping us? This isn't a soup kitchen.

--Is race an issue in being so adamant about building a Wall?

I don't think so, every American I know that wants to wall talks about resources as the reason not race.
