Just what we need. More haters of our president, carrying the flags of the s$$thole they came from. Welcome future Democrats. BTW, all those in poverty here now, this should be interesting.

FAIRUS

“Using the most recent admissions figures, data on federal and state public assistance programs, and information from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), our analysis found:

The cost per refugee to American taxpayers just under $79,600 every year in the first five years after a refugee is resettled in the U.S.;
In 2016, the State Department spent nearly $545 million to process and resettle refugees, including $140,389,177 on transportation costs;
Of the $1.8 billion in resettlement costs, $867 billion was spent on welfare alone;
In their first five years, approximately 54 percent of all refugees will hold jobs that pay less than $11 an hour;
$71 million will be spent to educate refugees and asylum-seekers, a majority of which will be paid by state and local governments.
Over five years, an estimated 15.7 percent of all refugees will need housing assistance, which is roughly $7,600 per household in 2014 dollars.”

They are over 2400 miles away and walking. Let's everyone just calm down. All this is just fear mongering and they are breaking none of our laws right now.

Critical thinking is not a quality you possess

Actually this does not require critical thinking. All it requires is to either clean out your ears or hearing aid, or turning up its volume so that you can hear the migrants statements and not the ones fed to us by too many in the media that are promoting their own agenda.
There are a number of those that have had interviews aired in the US and in other countries that are admitted criminals both in the US and in their country of origin that have been previously deported from the US. There are also a significant number of others that have been interviewed that are not necessarily criminals but have admitted to have been previously deported from the US and their waiting period is not yet over (waiting periods are 5, 10, and 20 years). These individuals have openly admitted that they are trying to violate or circumvent US law.
And if you think that either myself or my wife are mistaken in what we heard and understood them to say, then you are sadly incorrect. My wife was born, raised and educated in Panama, specifically Alanje in the Chiriquí Province. We know and understand the situation in Central America quite well and still have family there (quite a few as a matter of fact). Just because I look like and am a gringo does not mean that I do not understand what is going on.

You are getting interviews from a few, and in fact the US military has identified about 120 or so who are admitted criminals (not necessarily violent). And they've said they believe few will make it 2400 more miles, because most are just poor people with no visible means of support. I couldn't walk that far. I promise you this will die down after tuesday and it won't be such a crisis.

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
