And you are still following Saul alinsky's rules for radicals.

Why are we spending many billions more on an unwinable war in Afganistan, yet neglect our own countrymen, refusing to stop illegal immigration.

Because certain billionaires, mostly bankers, do not want Trump to derail their plans for the New World Order, and because the weak minded will keep the minions of the Left in power as long as those minions promise to be their nanny from cradle to grave. And because certain people who control media and media content will do whatever they can to censor those who expose the Leftist agenda.

I used to follow conspiracy theories and find them fascinating, and some like 9/11 somewhat credible. You don't seem to be grasping one possibility and that is that getting Trump in the White House was part of the plan. Having such an incompetent, immoral, rural, racist Russian backed President will create such a strong counter reaction that power will shift sharply back to the left and a lot of his supporters will be forever discredited. Have you ever considered that?

If they fear for their lives, why don't they go to a country other than the U.S.?
About 60% choose to stay in Mexico, where they at least speak the language. The other 40% continue on to the US.

I was ready to quit out and so were some others. We all swore we would not go through it again. I was patrolling the board because we had no mod here at the time.

Now it's your turn. The old guard will not step up this time. If this board is worth anything to you, it's up to you to grab the baton and ignore the trolling entities.
This forum is inactive because a small group of phony conservatives have taken a vow to prevent the entry of any new ideas. Look at how few threads actually have any traffic. The most active is a bunch of lunatics discussing cannibalism, which is just one more take on the Zombie Jamboree idiocy. Has it ever occurred to you that unrelenting hostility results in nobody willing to talk with you?

Yes, hostile invaders are a real concern. They are already a concern in border areas, where their militia is funded by drug war income. The border is handy for them because if legal heat gets too much, they can just duck across the border and disappear.

The Wall is the fantasy of a draft dodger with no concept of military tactics. A wall is a diffuse target that can only be maintained by defending the entire length with massive resources, most of which will never be used. It can be breached anywhere by stealth, rapid deployment of a point attack, or both.

Nope.

During periods of glacial minima the tropics see climactic changes last. Climatology 101.

Last century attitudes. Now that we have a data baseline, the word is that the tropics will collapse first, at least for human occupation.
