just to be a glutton, Europe and Africa are continents, United States is a country,, comparing their immigration standards is an error in compatibility

not to mention United States is not a European country

so, its cool discussing US attitudes towards immigration, or European attitudes towards immigration, but they shouldn't be lumped together as it is the country which decides immigration policy and not the continent



What the op brought up was EUROPEAN attitudes, probably due to the history of EUROPEAN countries to take over and oppress other lands,,,


but to the OP, perhaps that is why SOME Europeans are so adamant against it now,, because they are like the dad who was a pimp and knows one when he sees one,,,,

all publicity is good publicity eve when its bad publicity

most will remember the name but not the bad

thus any publicity leads to name recognition and that is true what
wins elections in the U.S. people do not research candidates very often

all the liberals need to be kick out of this country they hate america

I will probably be whichever party is likely to be labeled 'liberals' (it was once the republicans,, so who knows what the future holds...)

That assumes those services can only be accessed through Planned Parenthood.

Part of the ACA (and one of many "problems" in keeping it from being immediately repealed) was mandating a minimum amount of certain services being covered by all health insurance coverage.

Most if not all services provided by Planned Parenthood are covered by insurance, as well as medicare. Therefore can be accessed through any healthcare provider.

Taxpayers/government pays for medicare. Taxpayers/government subsidizes insurance plans. Government currently mandates insurance being carried. Government mandates people under 26 (25?) can be covered by their parents insurance.

"Leaving clinics to close" is more like getting rid of a 3rd vehicle than "cutting off our nose to spite our face."

if the dollar collapses, I will welcome the haves into the world of the have nots

and I will feel secure that something will FINALLY Be done about income inequality

(action is always taken on an issue once it starts affecting the HAVES)

Why would anyone ever think they are trying to dumb us down and poison us?

Well, what a great shame-that there are actually people out there who believe these people in the first place,and to let themselves be emotionally blackmailed into voting a certain way,it really is beyond belief that anyone can be that dumb,after all the years-months-weeks of campaigning trying to get there message across, they make the decision who to vote for-based on some mouthpiece spewing up a load of venom,and anyone with half a brain would surely see right through it,dear oh dear it is so depressing.

0bama will go down as the first 2-term President in American history to be at war every day while he was in office!

He will go down as the WORST President ever!

God help any member of the armed forces that would be forced to partake in his funeral (which, BTW cannot come soon enough!)

I was born in 1969, but my mother was born in 1940 and her mother was born in 1914

I do not have a 'memory' of 250 years of slavery, but I have learned about it

I do not have a 'memory' of the 100 years of jim crow 'separate but equal' segregated culture that followed, but I have learned about it and I have listened to the many experiences of my elders who lived through it

I do see the impact of such a long foundational culture of status by race, its embedded in the administration of justice, in income disparity, in educational disparities,, and the list goes on and on

I feel today that much has been done to stop the legal discrimination that was once so culturally implicit, but much still must be done to close the GAPS that such discrimination created,,,


I have used the analogy before, Its like there was a 5 mile race being run, and group b were not permitted to join until group a 3 miles down the road

suddenly allowing those group b members to start the race, as noble as it is to finally include them, does nothing about the miles of head start group a was given and will always have EXCEPT for with individuals who are willing to have to run at least 3 times as fast just to catch up,,,,,
