Does it? Seems posting something on a bulletin board is calling attention to themselves?

I'm waiting for the opportunity to try that two day amnesia excuse with my wife. Hope she buys it.
She might just be waiting on that day as well šŸ˜‚

It's sometimes called a fugue state. A few years ago, this guy in Albuquerque had one. Disappeared for a weekend then showed up naked in a supermarket claiming to his wife and the authorities that he had no idea where he'd been or what had happened. Crazy, huh?

Dude probably had a weekend getaway with his GF and knew he was toast without a good excuse. lol

JFC! Let's not worry about having actual merit or ability to do a job as a requirement. Let's just make sure we check the DEI boxes and nobody feels left out. Next up: Dumbasses sue medical schools not letting them become brain surgeons and operate on your kid.

That is my school district. Going in at 3:15 to take pictures of my 7th grade son's social studies room. Should be interesting to see if they changed anything.
Can we except a clip of you coming out in handcuffs?

I'm being cordial and have given them a full month to drag their heels in response. I told the principal I am taking pictures and doing so in a way that no students are involved. Hiding and denying from parents is a pretty big red flag before you even get into the inappropriateness of the material dominating the learning environment.

All that said - I have a few folks on call to bail me out and will be recording the entire interaction.

No jail today for me. I'm sure I'll have an FBI agent assigned by dinner and probably full cavity search when I fly on Sunday.

Principal did not have an opinion, said he has to see what the official policy is to respond on if the massive pride flag and woke slogan flags are appropriate for middle school or not. Said at least half a dozen times the teacher lied to me - if he wants to wave and NOT own it in front of parents it is a massive problem.

Well that's it then. Thanks for the heads up, TG.

First the Hessians.
Then they sunk the Lusitania.
Then they bombed Pearl Harbor.
Now they've taken over Pittsburg.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but nobody comes to our house and pushes us arounnd. This nonsense stops now!

This looks like every panic post just substituting Germans for non-whites.
We’re not panicking because there are Hispanic cultural and music festivals, we’re panicking because known murderers and rapists have been allowed to enter our country and surprise surprise, they’ve raped and murdered American citizens.

Did you read the post above yours?

You're doing DEI on crime. Illegal immigrants have statistically been less likely to commit crimes than native born Americans. There's been 27 homicides this year by illegals lmao. And, before everyone melts down - yes they should be shot into the sun like every other murderer. But this *insane* rhetoric around migrants in general like they're some sort of unwashed band of raving murders is insane. You're much more likely to be killed by Cleatus who spends all day scrolling End Wokeness.

First, am I illiterate or have the stats on your own link increased markedly over the past 8 years in every category, noticeably changing dramatically in 2021?! My bad if I read that wrong, but seems like these numbers support the fear that crime is increasing with a Biden border policy.

Regardless, Stats aside, let's be honest about why people fear immigrants when there is a relatively open border. If you have a 100 person sample size of random Americans, sure there is going to be a full spectrum of people and some will be criminals. In a 100 person immigrant population, the number of crimes may be similar or even less, but skewed to each end of the curve, no? There may be a lot of people more excellent than the average American. There may be engineers coming from say India(or wherever), doctors etc. The fear is the opposite end of the spectrum. If there is a porous border, why wouldn't a country like China take advantage of that to send spies? Are you that naive to think this is not a golden opportunity that they would absolutely take advantage of? Do you not think criminals of all kinds will use the opportunity? Will countries like Venezuela not send undesirable folks? That is common sense that people with bad intent in some way will take advantage of it. Maybe it will be some other way not imagined. Also, are the outstanding immigrants more likely to migrate legally or illegally, duh.

I would assume immigrants are on the more extreme end of the spectrum. Some outstanding people that cant receive the same opportunity/compensation in their own country and some that are facing tough times for a number of reasons, some nefarious.
First, Shouldn't we be at least given the chance to vet those coming in to ensure that there is no illegal backgrould, mal-intent?
Finally, I'm assuming you would disagree, but shouldn't immigrants be people that are exceptional that are going to benefit the country they are moving to? Is that considered a wrong thing to expect in 2024?

C’mon man. Those rapists and murderers were impoverished, destitute and politicized in the country they came from. They don’t know any better.

The issue isn’t whether illegals are killing more per. The issue is with the current administration’s policy of open borders. It’s making it infinitely easier for those that would have been turned away to enter the U.S. and commit these crimes.

I love how they pretend hundreds of Chinese men at military age coming across is fine. Middle East? Fine. They also keep this Mexican farm worker image when it is really the globe trafficking people here. People who hate America, spy on America, and are fleeing prisons. I’d rather be surrounded by Mexicans and Cubans than woke white women.

Strong countries have strong roots. If you or I move to Ukraine, China or pick another country… we have no connection to the country we are in. I don’t care that someone else’s family fought in some war I never heard of or was even part of a military I don’t have a country I have no connection to. Personally I have lived in 5 different states and been to about all of them on travel or to visit. I live in Granger because this is my home (Elkhart). I’m proud of where I come from.

With that said so are these people fleeing these other countries. People aren’t moving to Elkhart for the weather… they are moving because that is where the factories are, jobs. You get two illegal parents coming to the US they will find a way to work. Often times they find or buy someone else’s documentation to work under. They are also grabbing benefits as an illegal under their own name. These people… right/wrong… are survivalists not loyalists. I have seen a lot of these fresh from across the border military aged people immediately find a recruiter and join the Army Guard… with the promise of expedited paperwork and citizenship and all the benefits that come with military. These guys with zero roots and zero loyalty to the country besides the promise of beneifts are joining up in droves… it’s like military NIL lol. I have seen people that have never stepped foot in the US trying to join the military and boot camp is their first step on American soil.

I’ll just say without saying too much but if there ever was a WW3 the worry is not an outside attack but one from within. Imagine moving to another country… joining their military for the benefits and then ā€œoh hey, that country you lived in your whole life… we just declared war on them, here is a rifleā€

You're not illiterate, just not understanding of rate stats. I don't even get the point you're making in the second paragraph. You're using a sample size of 100 people and then saying "skewed to each end of the curve"...so this means?

I am not naive, at all. If the fears you speak of were true, would we not see this reflected in the data? If these illegal immigrants were causing crime would we not seem them being convicted at higher rates than naturally born citizens? I think you have incredible faith in these countries to open their prisons and create this elaborate logistical feat to send their societies undesirables on this voyage to do....what? Cause crime? We already know they don't do that at incredible rates. So these criminals from Southern American countries are spies, ok if we accept that position - what intel are they gathering? Even before you get to that, these criminals from some shitass prison in Venezuela are going to be reporting back to their handler and somehow evade the FBI/CIA? This would make a great film because it requires a great imagination.

Assuming I would disagree with what? You believe that I don't believe in any sort of national security? That is an outlandish claim.

The issue isn’t whether illegals are killing more per. The issue is with the current administration’s policy of open borders. It’s making it infinitely easier for those that would have been turned away to enter the U.S. and commit these crimes.
That's great. The conversation you inserted yourself into was framing it as they're all raving murders.

Were rates listed somewhere else? I just saw the front page. I would need to know the exact amount of immigrant increase to know if rates were increasing/decreasing, but for sure, the numbers went way up starting in 2021. I prefer percentages but the dramatic increase in numbers cant be ignored.
I probably should have stopped after the first point to see where you were coming from. However, what I was trying to point out is you cant necessarily compare immigrants to the general population. It is a different animal. Potential crimes from immigrants, like spying, sabotage, massive drug operations, sex trafficking. ' This shit is not a myth. It is real. Spying happens. It isnt some 1960s relic. Sure a shithole country can even do it. On the other hand, there are immigrants that are excellent. Probably much more productive than your average Joe. However, no matter what, people just want to know who is coming. Is someone a potential trafficker, or whatever type of criminal.

Even the ā€œgood onesā€ are swiping people’s info to just work under a name to work. That’s a huge problem.
