Oaky, here we go again with the immigration issue. What’s the issue? Well, to begin, we don’t have an immigration policy in this country. Oh, forgive me, yes we do have a system, but can anyone tell me exactly what that system is? I am sure we all know immigrants who applied through the “system” and took them years to be vetted and eventually allowed to become an American citizen.
But the “system” we have today is based solely on political leanings. Mexicans at our southern border will eventually become democrats,. Come on, you know it, everybody knows it, especially since the creatures in the swamp will kowtow to their every needs, provide them with all sorts of benefits paid for by you and me. So why would they not vote for those who accepted them? They surely would not vote for those of us who try our best to keep the interlopers out! Agreed?
Okay, so know what about Cuban immigrants. Which way would they lean? Ahh, now we see a different set of immigrants and a different “system.” So, does it not surprise anyone that the douchebag in charge, who by the way, happens to be a Cuban immigrant himself said they will not be allowed ashore in America.
This whole immigration thing is laughable and very simple. If you lean left come on in, if you lean right. get the hell out of here.
About this thing called immigrationby bunkerville |
US immigration is unnecessarily complex. It has evolved into a patently unfair system to everyone who enters the system honestly and with good intent — who seeks lawful admission. It favors those who skip ahead of everyone else and go to the head of the line. US officials created this problem; illegal invaders only take advantage of an opportunity handed to them by political leaders who are either nefarious in their intent or incompetent. You know, people like Biden/Harris whom the American people overwhelmingly elected. If our immigration system is broken, then we broke it.
This must change. No one has a right to come here, but if immigrants knock on our door, it must be in accordance with our laws and procedures. Yes, we need a border wall, but we also need a commitment to our immigration system. No one must come here by cutting in front of the line. No one must come here who cannot contribute to the American economy, who will not embrace American values, and who will not assimilate American society. No “child” must come here without their mother or father.
There is no question that the United States of America is the best place on the planet to live, but does that mean that everyone who lives in a nation less vibrant than our own has a case for political asylum? If everyone who lives in a country ruled by petty dictators or religious despots has an asylum claim, then literally two-thirds of the world’s population will soon show up at our door. There ARE limits, after all, to the number of immigrants our economy can support. People who do not/will not speak our language, who are not educationally prepared for the challenges of our economy, and who know less about our values than they do about speaking in English simply do not have a realistic expectation of success. Note: most Latin Americans are illiterate in their own language. At some point, we must acknowledge that there are (pragmatically) limited opportunities for goat-herders-turned taxi drivers in Newark.
Although with that said, from a historical point of view, the cultural differences between Spanish and Anglo immigrants could not be more unambiguous. I can readily see why Democrats are anxious to accept tens of thousands of Latinos as potential citizens: they are far more inclined to do whatever the government tells them than people of British stock. It also occurs to me that for every individual who runs away from their own country, whatever those conditions are, there is one less person available to fight for meaningful change in the land of their birth and cultural heritage.
Secretary Mallorcus told us that Cubans must not be allowed to come to the United States. Shouldn’t this standard apply to every immigrant who is trying to jump ahead in line or who files a frivolous petition for asylum? Should we return all such people to their home country (or, as he suggested, a third country) until US officials process their claim in an orderly fashion? Note: I’m not sure how French-speaking Haiti would be a good fit for immigrants from Guatemala, but that was his idea, not mine. I suspect there are few Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas willing to accept Guatemala’s problems. Nor should we. What we observe unfolding along our southern borders is only a “humanitarian crisis” because we’ve made it into one.
Sending people back to their home country for processing reinforces the traditional process of putting the names of people hoping to immigrate to the US on a waiting list, which is the only way we have of properly vetting applicants for admission to the United States. There is an exception to every rule, of course, but exception must not become the rule. We must maintain an orderly process of immigration.
Notice that tens of thousands of people, having spent their entire lives living in a communist/socialist country, suddenly appear on our southern border demanding entry to a country in which half of the population can support a communist/socialist administration. Is this not an example of politically compliant people trying to leap from a frying pan into a fire? I find the whole situation very odd, and I wonder why we Americans think we need more communists in our country rather than fewer.

First of all, I did some search to get a photo of the Minnesota State Flag for this post and WOW! t appears they are in the process of redesigning it. I could not believe some of the submissions, albeit I was expecting to see one honoring George Floyd, maybe it’s coming?
Folks, if you live in MN or know someone who resides there, you may want to share this post with them. I can tell this much, if I lived there, which would be akin to living in the real cesspool of politics, yes you guessed it, ILLINOIS, and I had school aged children, you can bet they would not be attending the public school system. Wait till you read this garbage
“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”
Well, this country is working on that generation right now and before our eyes. And MN is leading the way. Question: Do you know what’s being taught to your children? Do you ask them at the dinner table every night what they learned in school that day? Well, if you don’t, than I happen to think you are part of the problem!!!

The Minnesota Department of Education released a draft of its new social studies curriculum standards, which place a new emphasis on diversity, equity, and gender.
The social studies curriculum is up for state-wide review during the 2020-21 school year as part of Minnesota’s 10-year cyclical curriculum review. The Department of Education’s standards committee has dubbed the new framework a “more inclusive approach to social studies education.”
According to a copy of the standards, the committee wants to begin social studies classes with a land acknowledgment. Land acknowledgments tell students that they are learning on land that was conquered by Americans, though once belonged to Native Americans.
“Minnesota is the contemporary and ancestral home of the Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples, and social studies education on this land will acknowledge and honor their contemporary and historical voices,” the draft reads.
Under the new standards, learning about social justice curriculum begins in the first grade. Six and seven-year-olds may be taught about systemic discrimination and how groups have fought against such discrimination.
The standards insist that fourth-graders investigate how race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and geographic location shape the opinions of people.
In fifth grade, students are asked to “investigate how groups (example: women, religious groups, civil rights groups, indigenous peoples, LGBTQ) have advocated for access to greater rights.” Fifth-graders must also learn about the ongoing debate about renaming buildings following the death of George Floyd and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Elementary students are asked to “analyze how different perspectives influenced past decisions to name places and impact changing place names today.”
Middle schoolers may soon be exposed to learning about racism in relation to the criminal justice system in Minnesota, the evils of capitalism, and social justice activism.
The standards ask sixth-graders to “describe the goals, offenses, penalties, long-term consequences, privacy concerns of Minnesota’s juvenile justice system and evaluate the impact on Black, Indigenous, Person of Color (BIPOC) communities.”
Sixth-graders are also asked to assess the goals of activists in their “quest for their voice to be heard.” The standards specifically address the activism of anti-war, racial minorities, immigrants and refugees, women, LGBTQ, and indigenous people.
In seventh grade, students may be asked to describe how profit can be used as “an incentive for people to exploit others or the environment.”
High school students undergo the most intense social justice indoctrination. At one point in the curriculum, freshmen are taught about the evils of “whiteness, Christianity, and capitalism,” and asked to question the country’s founding documents.
According to the standards, ninth-graders must “describe the tactics used by the United States government to claim indigenous and Mexican land, including but not limited to an analysis of the ideology of Manifest Destiny and its relationship to whiteness, Christianity, and capitalism.”
The same students learn about how Euro-Americans allegedly used “whiteness” and traditional gender norms to keep people enslaved.
“Identify how Europeans and Euro-Americans developed new legal justifications for slavery and settler colonialism in the Americas by creating new racial categories (i.e. Whiteness), and new ideas about gender,” the curriculum reads.
Other lessons include an explanation of how “systemic inequity” created barriers to accessing credit, explain how race is a “social construction” used to “oppress people of color,” and learn to embrace gender ideology.
“[Students will] explain the social construction of race and how it was used to oppress people of color and assess how social policies and economic forces offer privilege or systematic oppressions for racial/ethnic groups related to accessing social, political, economic, and spatial opportunities,” the curriculum reads. “[Students will] develop a respectful awareness about how ideas and norms about gender have changed over time, and how members of the LGBTQ+ community have responded to persecution or marginalization by building coalitions in order to promote gender equality/equity.”
Instructors are told to teach about the failure and successes of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments during the Reconstruction era. The curriculum asks teachers to “connect this history to persistent discrimination and inequity in the present.”
Ninth-graders must also question why the United States’ founding documents included only the voices of white people.
“[Students will] analyze the founding documents of the United States, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as historical sources, asking who created them, whose voices were absent, and whose interests were articulated,” the standards read.
According to the Department of Education’s webpage, the committee will delay making a second draft until it has paid “full attention to issues of diversity and equity.”
During a virtual committee meeting, the department’s Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Teaching and Learning Bobbie Burnham said that the standards will be developed with an emphasis on the “lived experiences” of young, marginalized students.
“The committee has articulated the need to make standards and supporting benchmarks more meaningful by attending to the race, ethnicity, identity, and lived experiences of young people in relation to civic life and acknowledging voices and experiences of marginalized youth,” Burnham said.
A second draft is slated to be released in early June.

You should know by now I don’t watch any news programs, even FOX, Thanks to my Mother I have nice blood pressure and I intend to keep it that way especially considering my age. But I get lots of emails, hundreds of them a day to be exact. I look at them and some I try to read them all, but it’s tough. It depends on how much time I have and who it is from. So, I do get news items daily from folks, and I have some news outlets I go to on the web.. This one I received today and it is a Youtube by the one personality I have found myself watching from time to time – Tucker Carlson. I like his style, love his facial expressions when he is driving home a point. Anyway, I watched this and was so impressed with his main message I decided to share it. Perhaps if you religiously watch him you’ve see it. If so, watch it again, he has a very powerful message for all of us.
His message? Speak up, don’t take it anymore, you have absolutely nothing for which to apologize. Mine? Get pissed! Do something! Take control of your life and your rights!
