The US will never fund enough treatment to undo half of the brain damage done during this really really bad drug epidemic of a decade+.

That's not a political point either. Junkies moved to Portland like flies to shit, that's Portland's stupidity but junkies gonna junkie.

Whose fault is the drug addict? Themselves. It's their addiction. Can they be helped? Some. Are these people often outright neurologically be-dwarved? Yes. Do we have the resources to help them all? No. Will anything in this paragraph change? No.

It's a hard life. Any fool knows that. Good luck. Lots gonna keep dying you know.

So I get your concern about the drug issue.

You're a very strange poster, sadre. Are you making like an analogy or something by changing my post to be about drug policy? Confusing as ever.

But on drug policy, particularly the fentanyl epidemic, lax border policy is a huge driving force behind that. Trump was 1000% right when he had the audacity to suggest that many illegal immigrants are rapists and drug dealers, because they are. You can apply to get into the country legally, the fact that many don't is kind of a red flag they might not be the best boyscouts ya know?

This a self-correcting problem. My concern is they aren't dying fast enough which means they're staying alive long enough to be an issue for parasitic politicians to swaddle themselves in to obsfucate their horrible policies.

Ooloo - so yah death in border agents custody so what?

You really do it to yourself Ooloo.

EZ still triggered from guilty pleas in a governmental investigation. Guilty pleas ha! Ha!! :rolleyes:

Ripp scared Of Mice and Men … oh no more blasphemy

Ah I see a kid died, while in ice custody! That means ice killed the kid on purpose and it also means that it's not super rare! Btw what I was originally responding to was origen's ridiculous assertion that if texas seceeded they would "put immigrants and non-binary people in concentration camps", which is just a mentally ill thing to say.

Stop electing democrats, enact sensible border security like every other country in the world does, and punish/prevent crime. Then 8 year olds won't be stuck in detention centers in el paso in the first place.

Ignorance is not an excuse. He should know better. Its literally his job to know these things.

this world needs more dictators

Probably, but if they had seceded by then I'd be powerless to do anything about it. They'd outlaw aid if it didn't run afoul of those few right wing Christian conservatives that have actually read the bible and act upon its advice regarding foreigners.

Similar to the circumcision shit. We all know why the right won't treat that with the same hateful vitriol as they do transgenderism: circumcision fights would be right on right. Doesn't serve their actual, fascist goals.

How novel, an atheist Liberal lecturing Christians on Scripture.

If you had any idea what the Bible says and a basic sense of reality, you'd know there's a difference in foreigners and illegal immigrants. Since you're so knowledgeable on the topic, perhaps you can share with the group what Romans 13 has to say about it.
