even the fucking birds have to be migrants for people to give a shit lmao
This cracked me up, lmao

I'm allergic to cats. Well, if the goose is protected then by all means sic the game wardens on them.The Canada Goose is a federally protected bird. And no. In civilized countries we shouldnt have to expect a cat is going to be eaten by a person. What sort of shit hole do you want to live in?
It's just a joke about referring to yourself as a "wee lad", like you're character in an Irish folk tale or something.What does that mean?
That comment isn't even a serious critique, its just shitposting that completely misses the overarching point on purpose. Why even dignify it with a response as if he will come back with something substantive instead of another shitpost?
I'm allergic to cats..."If you let your cat wander around the neighborhood be prepared if it will get eaten".
Wtf is wrong with you man?
not allowed? who's not allowing?
Ok. I'll let people think whatever they like before I let them just import a subclass of people like a tactical nuke designed to lower my quality of life under the guise of "aide"
It is just recycled hate, that the racist used to accuse the Asians of doing and now are recycling as a slur against brown people.my contribution to this discussion is that white people culturally appropriated accusing Haitians of being cat eaters from black people.
The first time I heard of that was in the YouTube comment section of a street fight video from North Miami (Haitian area) and some African-American left a comment to the effect of “look it’s a bunch of Haitians fighting for the last piece of cat leg”

Fear and disgust over immigrant foods has a long history in America. Italians were once upon a time labeled as “garlic eaters”. Writer Gustavo Arellano has written about how the staple diet of beans led to a slur against Mexicans. The stereotype of the immigrant who eats cats and dogs is also storied, often lobbed against Asian Americans.
“The dog-eating stereotype has historically been utilized to belittle Asians and Asian immigrants,” writes Jean Rachel Bahk in the Inlandia literary journal. “I was incessantly pestered about whether the meat in the side dishes I brought for lunch was dog meat” she recalls about her own childhood.
“Despite my persistent attempts to explain that dog-eating was not at all a common practice among Asians not to mention Asian Americans I started to beg my mom to stop packing me Korean dishes.”...

Mike, i say with respect that you are arguing against history and making the EXACT same arguments that each and every single new wave of immigrants faced.
One after the another as the Irish, Italians, Roma, Jews, Russians, etc, etc came to America they came in mostly to the lowest paying jobs and faced scorn and derision, and called dirty and criminals, from those already here. Even those who just came in the prior wave, and faced similar derision.
Your repeated view that it cannot end well and harms America is PROVEN FALSE by each and every example in the history of America.
It is the #1 factor as to why America became the #1 world power and maintained and grew as the biggest economy, as wave after wave of immigrants flooded in and grew America.
probably not, but since multiple people are saying it, I wouldn't rule it out and it should be investigated. I'm not one to completely dismiss what has happened, if multiple people see a UFO in the same area, it should be explained, if multiple people see any parts chopped off at the farm, it should be explained, etc.
now you answer:
Are random strangers making this up on the fly?
You don't even have to be that hateful or bigoted to buy into a dumb rumor. For most people this discourse has virtually no stakes and so they will be quick to believe something dumb. Its like believing in Bigfoot or aliens, if you're wrong who cares? Except in this case someone does ultimately suffer and that's the Haitians but the people spreading the rumors don't see that first hand.Can you accept that 'multi people' might be prone to believe the worst and also to make up stuff about people, if they are racist, xenophobic or otherwise hateful towards immigrant newcomers?
Would you ever say American society would have no one who would simply say the most stereotypical and hateful thing about Italians, Jews, Russians, etc who they see, even if only based in stereotype?
Would you agree those type of people could reach numbers of "multiple people".
They often were dirty and criminals and we wouldn’t have had all kinds of mafias without them. But I suppose if you give it 100 years without a constant replenishment of immigrants, they can Americanize and become respectable people.Mike, i say with respect that you are arguing against history and making the EXACT same arguments that each and every single new wave of immigrants faced.

A percent were, historically yes, as they are humans.They often were dirty and criminals and we wouldn’t have had all kinds of mafias without them. But I suppose if you give it 100 years without a constant replenishment of immigrants, they can Americanize and become respectable people.
You know the difference between murder and manslaughter, right?while it's sad to hear a dead child's name brought out, the fact that the school bus was indeed hit by an immigrant haitian, amplifies the out of hand driving issues the residents face by the immigrants.
the dude is double downing on that narrative all by himself.

It has been investigated. There's no proof to back up the claims. That should have been the end of it. But instead you've got a bunch of racist right wing morons elevating it to national news. Just because multiple people are spreading a rumor doesn't give it merit.
It is just recycled hate, that the racist used to accuse the Asians of doing and now are recycling as a slur against brown people.
A former President spouting BS like this in a national debate?It kills me to see people who have fallen for every single hoax over the past decade looking down on people for believing this story.
You're literally the same thing, just from a different point of view.
