General Election 2024

OK, Ed, I'll try not to over-react

Haitians come from conditions that will produce great challenges for any community that takes them in. No matter how hard-working they are, they're not going to be qualified for any other than menial jobs.

BS
That's the same racist shit describing the Irish immigration.
An African immigrants son became the President of the United States
No doubt it could happen to a son or daughter of Haitians.
To think otherwise is racist

No doubt children of Haitians have the same chance of becoming a doctor as native hillbillies. Maybe better

a horrible execution of logic ... an example of something that is *possible* proves that I was claiming my points were *universally* applicable. I made no such claim and I'm disappointed in the racist card being played here.

Using a term like 'hillbillies' shows *you* would discriminate against them applying for college to become a doctor if you could. Very ironic to favor discrimination in college admissions from someone claiming an Asian connection ... just very odd

Oh, I forgot, these 700,000+ will for sure all be voting for Dems

Can’t imagine why they wouldn’t vote for the racist party that lies about them eating people’s pets (if they’re even allowed to vote. I don’t know where this 700k number comes from).

Once they become citizens, maybe they will or maybe they won't. Right now, non-citizens can't vote in elections for public office. If the GOP wants their vote, I suggest the GOP try and earn their votes.

They are just regular people no better or worse then say update New Yorkers or West VA mountain folk.

all their children will automatically be citizens, and many will naturalize

the 700,000 is from a link upthread. I don't make such comments without a source.

That's a lot of votes but I admit I have a fantasy about that: the Dems are really worried they're losing the pro-Palestinian vote that comes from the immigrants in MI [maybe another state too]. If Harris loses those states it might just be laid to the missing votes. My fantasy is that it will happen with the Haitian vote in the future too

see, I didn't just make that up. Back in 2021 Ams would have been sharp enough to know I post sources

LOL

"Killer Kamala?"

Well yeah, she did "kill" the orange oaf in the debate.

the Lefties are proving you can put a spin on anything, even 731,000 Haitian immigrants

I'm predicting the Woke reply coming up next: " 731k Haitians or 731k from [name a first world country ] ... yep, all the same to me"

sorry, we know better than that and it isn't about skin color

When did Half Haitian Harris (HHH) become the Border Czar?

Before or after that number?

So? That's how it works. That's how it's supposed to work. That's how it worked for my immigrant ancestors, and their children. Got a problem with that?
