Migrant workers coming in with covid

These are not migrant workers. These are illegal aliens. I know a lot of migrant workers and they are here legally working in the USA. These people are not immigrating. They are illegally entering the USA. Let's all go try that in a foreign country and see how far we get.
You go first
 

Those are just the ones they caught. And I don't care if there were 10 of them , you don't let them spread out through the country with a disease. There's a reason they're called illegal.
Oh, I see, only legal immigrants are allowed to spread out through the country with a disease, or people with visas, or visitors from other countries, or American citizens, or people going to funerals, or motorcycle club members, or people traveling for thanksgiving or Christmas or a million other reason.

Are you even aware how absolutely silly this sounds? Talk about someone needs to wake up and smell the roses. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

The virus was spread by many LEGAL people traveling throughout our country. OMG, thanks for the laugh but now I got to go change my undies-the price I pay for a good laugh.
 
I am awake, probably more awake than you cause I have Native American blood running through my veins and I don’t remember any Native Americans inviting Europeans to move in and take over. Everyone who is not a Native American is the child of an immigrant, perhaps you should wake up.

Those so proud sons and daughters of the original so called colonists were illegal immigrants. The USA has a history of illegal immigrants. It’s not the illegal immigrants that people want to control, it’s the COLOR of the illegal immigrants that people want to control. IMO.
B.S.
 

Covid came from Europe to Seattle and New York, we have the European version. Until we have the now United Kingdom version from, you know, the United Kingdom which is not in Mexico. I have not heard of a Mexican version of the virus. If you know of a Mexican version of the virus, please enlighten us all.
You make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Who cares what version virus they're bringing in? I don't care if they were coming in from Canada. You don't let ILLEGAL people with a pandemic disease walk into your country and spread out. It's absolutely ridiculous. You obviously have a blind spot on this issue. So why don't you invite some of these people to stay at your home? They need places to stay. Oh, I get it, not in my backyard. Hypocrite some?

Supposedly, there are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the USA. These people are working. Some of them are doing jobs Americans refuse to do. Americans like cheap food. It's the only way to keep prices low.

According to DHS, 667,000 people overstayed their visas in 2019 alone.
It's not the only way to keep prices low. There's nothing that says we can't increase LEGAL immigration but allowing people to walk into your country when you have no idea who they are or what baggage they bring with them is ridiculous. No other country does it. In fact, in most countries you have to prove a certain level of wealth before you can immigrate.

So what you are saying is:

1. There is not a Mexican version of the virus.
2. You would only let LEGAL people with a pandemic disease walk into ā€œyourā€ country. (Which, btw, is how covid got here from Europe.)

And I make no sense? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

As to your ā€œnot in my backyardā€œ comment and why don’t I invite ā€œsome of THESE people to stay at your homeā€ comment; the typical ignorant comment from someone who does not realize the rules regarding sponsorship, and has no ideal that, like some, I do not just flap my jaws.

Oh, btw, am I inviting someone from Canda 🤣 or Mexico?

But, let’s see I did adopt an infant with Down Syndrome who is multi race, a white father and a Mexican mother. He lived in my home for 22 years. I see him every weekend at his group home.

Before that I did foster care for an illegal infant with Downs Syndrome who was brought to California by his parents. I had him for two years. I cared for many illegal children who were in foster care. As has my daughter who became a foster parent as an adult.

WOW, I guess I did invite them into my home and allowed them to use my backyard.


I also had a close friend, for ten years who was an illegal from Canada. I often invited her to my home and often visited her home. She was allowed in my backyard as well. šŸ˜.

Why don’t you quit while you are behind? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

You probably should do some research on what countries allow people to walk into their countries without knowing who they are and what baggage they have. You obviously have never heard of refugees. Just how big of a shovel and how big of a hole are you digging for yourself? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

You're hopeless. You're reading comprehension is terrible. Why do you keep harping on some "Mexican version" of the virus? Who cares what version of the virus they have? I wouldn't let ANYONE into the country with the virus.
And while your adoptions are commendable they are not germaine to the conversation. We're talking about illegals with the virus. When you take some of them into your home, I'll admit you're walking the walk.
I'm done here.

Well, at least I don’t have to dig myself out of a hole, with my bad spine THAT would be hopeless. šŸ˜‰
I'd actually like to apologize for some of the harshness of my comments. Illegal immigration is a trigger point for me. I still don't agree with anything you said, but agree to disagree.

Actually you know someone is done when they start using platitudes, and personal attacks to try and make their invalid points.

While I find your writing non-specific, I did not directly comment on it but instead asked questions which you have never answered. Who am I supposed to take into my home? Be specific.

By the way, this point has been made by several people on the forum on several threads, no one specific person gets to decide what someone else is talking about or when someone else is done talking about whatever they are talking about. Threads tend to drift off in several directions.
 
108 illegal immigrants released by Border Patrol in Texas test positive for coronavirus, officials say | Fox News

Which is it?

Migrant workers or as the web site states Illegal immigrants? If illegal why not return them to where they came from? I could be wrong but I don't think the Gov. of Texas has control over what the border patrol does.

Hasn't the view by the federal gov. about illegals entering America changed recently?
Yes, whatever the consequences, the man at the top is hell bent on undoing everything his predecessor did.

I also agree to disagree and appreciate the apology as I do know how to read. šŸ˜

I find it interesting when someone who does not live in the USA comments on what goes on in the USA. Honestly people who live in the USA barely understand what goes on here. You should compare the USA to the countries of Europe, as we have 50 different states, a few territories, and Washington D.C. which is neither.

Every single area has a different agenda, is populated by different racial groups, and unique political beliefs which makes Americans very hard to understand IMO. The needs Iowa have very little in common with the needs of New York. And the Dakotas, don’t get me started 🤣.

Its where they grow sunflower seeds, acres and acres of sunflowers, miles after miles of sunflowers. Hundreds of miles of nothing but sunflowers that stretch across the state. used to be corn, now it’s sunflowers. Who knew? Ok, really off thread in a way, but we all know who works in those fields. Anyhow.

@Rosemarie your comment is political, therefore, while I would šŸ˜, to comment on it, in detail, I cannot. But you are correct and I am 🄳.

Sometimes, those who are not personally involved in a situation can view it more objectively.
 
How absurd.
I did read the article.

With Texas's governor lifting all Covid restrictions, do you really think all TX (legal resident) positives are going to isolate for 14 days? Or that asymptomatic legal residents will wear masks "just in case" they've got the virus?

I'm not saying it's good or appropriate for people who test positive to be traveling long distances on public transportation, but that this is one more small piece of a very large pandemic puzzle.


I just got back from NYC where mask restrictions are very tight. People wear them on the street, which makes no sense to me.

Yesterday, New York State, with a population of 19.54 million, had 7,468 new coronavirus cases.

Texas, with a population of 28.70 million, had 7,582 new coronavirus cases.

So who's doing the better job? Sounds like Texas to me. (Texas has 153 deaths per 100,000 population, New York has 246, second highest in the nation. Yet New Yorkers never tire of talking about dumb Texans).

You wear the mask on the street cause when someone coughs or god forbid sneezes you don’t want to walk through the droplets in case they have Covid and they are Covid droplets

@JimBob1952, with a population of over 70,000 people per square mile, Manhattan's population density is far higher than any place in Texas. Presumably that's why people in NYC continue to wear masks outside.

I continue to wear my mask outside when walking in case someone else is walking. I don’t think it’s a big deal, I am so used to wearing a mask now.

Based on my few days just spent there, they continue to wear masks outside because a) it hides the smell of the garbage stacked up on the streets and b) it helps block your view of the rats running by your feet.

Rats are everywhere now. We walked by a restaurant at 615 one night and a big one scooted out from the building, presumably to see what the "outside" diners were enjoying. I lived in NYC for 12 years and saw maybe one rat, late at night at a subway stop. My last two trips I've seen about a dozen, all sorts of places, all times of day.

When I was in Alabama for basic training, they had field rats. Those rats are as big as small dogs. I’ve never been so scared in my life, walking to early morning KP duty seeing those huge rats. I hate rats.
