Then I guess the NG needs more marksmanship training.

Not a terrible outcome.  His medical bills won't be our problem.

Denver residents are being asked to take in illegal aliens:

If memory serves, at least one east coast city is already doing this.  I'm curious about what percentage of city residents comply.

NYC made similar pleas a while back.  There have been one or two other cities that have asked, as well, but I disremember who they are.  I've slept since I read the articles.
Was it in the "Domestic Enemies" series of books, where one of the plot devices was how it became mandatory for apartment renters and home owners to take in illegal immigrants?  They were assigned to live in someone's home by .gov.   I wonder if that is in our future?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

16 year old was suspended for three days for using the term "illegal alien" in class, family is suing.
Could be more to this but here it is

Quote
According to the student's mother, Leah McGhee, in April, an English teacher at Central Davidson High School in Lexington gave a vocabulary assignment that involved the word "alien." In response, her son Christian asked if the teacher meant "like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?"

Another student allegedly took offense to the term and threatened to fight Christian, forcing the teacher to contact the assistant principal. The staff later deemed the term to be offensive to Hispanic students and punished Christian with a three-day suspension.

The third book, Foreign Enemies. One of the character’s mothers, living alone in a house, is forced to take in an illegal family or pay insane tax rates for unoccupied rooms.

... which makes me wonder how much anti-air capability the cartels have.

Well they definitely have RPGs, which is enough for a Clear and Present Blackhawk Down crossover event.

Back before the 2020 election I got an e-mail from the Democratic Party in Virginia, asking me to open my home to one or more Democratic field staff who were working the upcoming election.

I'd take in a whole family of tuberculosis-riddled illegals before I took in a Democratic field staffer.

Massachusetts has also done it.

You know, oddly enough, I'd bet conservatives would step up to do this more than liberals would. It always seems that liberals talk a good game... until they're expected to comply with what they're asking...

Friend's mother, quite liberal and fairly wealthy, was QUITE enthusiastic about building some center for something or the other, maybe the homeless, and plunking it down in a working class neighborhood across town. She just couldn't fathom why there was so much opposition to it.

But when asked if she'd support it being built in HER neighborhood, that's when all of the excuses started coming out as to why it couldn't be built there.

She just couldn't see the glaring light of her own hypocrisy.

Illegal aliens have a list of "demands" that must be met before they will accept government-provided shelter:

That was DEFINATELY written by an American.  Way too much entitlement to have come from anyone else.

Just refer to my post #59 in this thread for the response of one small German town to this sort of nonsense.
