How in the world would anyone with a thinking brain not think that these millions aren't a threat security wise and economically wise? You puzzle me, Leo. I have asked you before but you haven't answered. What is your ancestral background? Are you afraid to answer because it might expose your motive?
Sorry, I had not seen that you asked me this question before. I have German and Scandinavian heritage.

I think I have written about my German ancestors before. My great-great grandfather immigrated in the 1860s. As far as I know, he came in legally, but I doubt there was any “vetting “ of immigrants back then. He benefited from the Homestead Act, being given 160 acres of land from the government as long as he agreed to farm. My mother was a 3rd generation American, yet her parents often spoke German in the home and retained a lot of German culture.

This is why I am not threatened by Hispanic immigrants. I don’t see them as being any different than my ancestors. They might get some government assistance, they might keep speaking Spanish, but their descendants will be English speaking, productive US citizens.

Yes, this how to destroy a democracy from within.
1. So no fraud. Biden is the most popular president ever?

2. And no hoards coming through the boarder?

3. America is doing great? No homelessness on the streets? Rampant crime and drug use?

4. True, Biden is apparently immune from laws

5. What number booster are you on?

Serious question.
Nothing. Xo is a plant, a mole, and he has been for a long time. You would have to be brain dead to not see what he's (or rather, his robotmasters are) doing to our wonderful USA. Typically his actions would be called treason, why they're not I don't know.

I wish we could bring back the WWII generation at their peak. They would burn down Washington DC to the ground if they saw what is happening.

Biden can't even figure out if he has to pee or not. Let's get real.

1. So no fraud. Biden is the most popular president ever? No fraud. Who said anything about Biden being the most popular?

2. And no hoards coming through the boarder? Hordes are coming, but they are not an existential threat to our nation

3. America is doing great? No homelessness on the streets? Rampant crime and drug use? America is doing pretty good. Prices up, but so are wages. Most homeless are by choice (unemployment at 3.5% means everyone can get a job if they want one). Crime is down.

4. True, Biden is apparently immune from laws. Pay attention. It’s Trump that is claiming immunity from laws.

5. What number booster are you on? I don’t see how that is relevant

Yes trump is trying to become a dictator and destroy our country. His followers are blind just like Hitler’s were. My mom’s grandfather was from Germany and he really thought Hitler was going to save Germany.

The day he picked up the German newspaper that said Hitler invaded Poland he had a heart attack and died. Unfortunately the majority of posters on this forum are indeed mislead. I am shocked by what they believe.

Luckily I don’t know anyone in real life that is this misguided. Why would anyone in our country talk about civil war? I don’t hate people that have different political beliefs. It’s one of the foundations of our country to be able to disagree.

Never before Trump did I care who won the election. I always voted and hoped my candidate won but in the end I knew each president would respect the constitution and leave office peacefully if he lost an election.

The thought of Trump winning is horrifying because he is telling us what he intends to do if reelected. He’s not even trying to hide it. Anyone sane is voting for anyone but him. Look at the interview Trump did with Time magazine.

Biden is a useful/useless idiot for the extremists who are pulling the puppet strings. Notice any time he is in public he has a team of handlers who guide him away from the press, tell him which way to go, and he insists he'll get in trouble if he says the wrong thing. He's not in charge. Not to say he isn't a horrible human being and a lifelong corrupt politician, but his brain is so far gone someone more radical than him is at the wheel. Obama said he always wanted a third term where he could lead from the background and control things from behind the scenes. Well, here we are.

You're not wrong about Biden, but can you provide a link to Obama saying that? Or provide any evidence that Obama is doing that? People can't seem to get away from thinking Obama is the Anti-Christ with political superpowers surpassing any other president.
