  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Of course, how else would they pay their debt?

It's also worth pointing out their debts aren't owed to human smuggling networks run by Mexican drug cartels. People don't seem to realize exactly who is profiting from these policies

Does it not destroy or diminish the lives of the people already in need in the USA? Are they, who are citizens and have paid taxes, going to have their employment prospects and even necessary government assistance reduced so that people who have no stake in the USA, have paid nothing into our welfare, etc. systems, but who need food, clothing, housing, and so on and can get it from our government?

And how "Christian" is it when those in government who constantly claim to be the ones helping our poor and disadvantaged, instead make them poorer and more disadvantaged...and all because the newcomers are expected to vote for the political party of the officeholders who are doing this?
Exactly! I'm sure these migrants are eager for the free healthcare, education, housing vouchers, food stamps and much more Joe Biden has promised them if they make it. Once they get here, you can bet the Biden administration plans to give them voting rights. Is this really about the Biden administration loving their neighbor or is this manufactured crisis an attempt to change the demographics of the United States in order to give permanent power to the Democratic Party?

I know republican like to say democrat want free healthcare, education , housing and everything free government has to offer. But it seems like 70% US economy comes from the county which vote Democrat. I wonder how Republican county/ state which only contribute 30% US economy make a living.


Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America’s economy. What does this mean for the nation’s political-economic divide?

That is because the wealthiest 1% (the ones the Democrats love to reference), pay 40% of Taxes collected by the government. The top 5% pay 60%

How is that fair?

IOW - the 30% that you are speaking of (both Democratic and Republican) are middle class and below, who contribute 30%.

The multi billion dollar healthcare industry is making that 1% wealthier by the moment regardless who is paying for the health care. Why not want government run healthcare - the government pays more for goods and services than the public, so it is more money in their pockets while making them look like heroes.

IMHO - it shows that the Democrats pander to the uber wealthy and Republicans to the middle class and poor.

Wait a minute. The point was that the wealthiest Americans DO pay their share, and probably more than that. The story we always hear about them as a group successfully avoiding taxes is a partisan myth.

And to this, you responded by saying that the poorer states are Republican states??????????? How does that change anything about which class pays what percentage of its income in taxes?

Point is wealthiest Americans are democrat and reside in Blue state. They pay higher taxes yet they vote democrat. On the other hand, people who receive the most federal funding, they complaining about everyone else( mostly democrat) are living on government and free stuff.

Not disputing that - it does not change my post.

Not too sure about that assertion that the wealthiest Americans are Democrats. I have not seen a breakdown. But certainly glad you are admitting they pay higher taxes. Something the Democratic leadership refuses to admit.

Also please understand that many of these wealthy have no problem with government give a ways be cause they become wealthier through the give a ways. The government uses our tax money to pay for them. They gain wealth through the government purchasing their goods and services, typically at a much higher rate than retail.

Wow...you're clueless on how this works, huh?

Read some articles. Look for ones that ask illegals how much it costs them to get into the US.

My question is what happened to the “ big beautiful wall” which Mexico paid to built.
Biden stopped funding and building it. What happened to Trump's "stay in Mexico" policy?

QFT - we have a winner, you are now promoted to Captain obvious. One side of the mouth is saying that the wealthy do not pay high taxes while the other side of the mouth says the wealthy pay high taxes.
