[MYFOXNY] Some of the mayoral candidates, including the current mayor spent a night in the Lincoln housing projects, vowing to make conditions better for the residents
It's a fine line between life and death at Harlem's Lincoln Houses even on a sunny Sunday, the teens hang out and talk with their friends. But instead of dreaming about the future, 17 year old K'shonna Johnson says they worry about staying alive.
"Just to see people I know passed away....I hear a lot of gun shots, violence due to drugs" the teen told us.

"Residents say"
BP says it's all about the entitlement complex that builds up from a lifetime of handouts.

Some of the mayoral candidates, including the current mayor spent a night in the Lincoln housing projects, vowing to make conditions better for the residents
Why do I get the feeling that the 'candidates' were safely escorted and protected by a troop of fully armed bodyguards?

It was here on the 'Burg a few years back that I read another poster's comment that sums up my feelings on this one:
"I stopped being so sympathetic about blacks when I saw a Vietnamese-American kid who'd escaped Vietnam in a leaky boat 12 years before, graduating as class valedictorian from the Air Force Academy."

The left has created a complete society of entitled victims. They are not willing to work hard or try. They show over and over that they are resourceful and work hard at being in gangs and in the making and selling of drugs. Seems to me they have no desire to leave the comfort of the projects and try to make a difference in their lives...

Which is why Asians are classed as "white" in California's higher education system.

Better not let it go to your head.

But if you get lucky
You might find yourself gettin' lead.
[Hurriyet] Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) appealed to the country's top election authority April 6, asking for the cancellation of results of the contested local elections in the capital city of Ankara.
'Cause that'll work with a man who defined democracy as as train to ride until it gets to the right stop.
"The will of Ankara's people does not accurately reflect in the ballot boxes. We expect the YSK [Supreme Election Board] to impartially assess this situation and decide for a repeat of the election," the CHP's nominee for Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, Mansur Yavaş, said at a presser.
Yavaş, accompanied by CHP deputies, held the presser at a hotel across from the YSK, while a huge crowd waited outside the hotel in show of support for him.
"We are after each and every vote. If the YSK rejects our appeal, we will take the issue to the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights," Yavaş said.
The CHP has insistently claimed the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rigged the race's result on March 30, where the AKP incumbent claimed a narrow victory.
The provincial board in Ankara rejected the CHP's appeal for a recount on April 4.
As of April 5, Ankara's incumbent mayor of the ruling AKP, Melih Gökçek, was granted "mayoral mandate" by the president of the provincial election board at a reception held at the Ankara Courthouse.
At the same ceremony, AKP Deputy Chair Salih Kapusuz bestowed Gökçek with a belt which reads: "Ankara's Chief Wrestler Melih Gökçek."
[Daily Caller] Jeb Bush says entering the U.S. illegally is often "an act of love" as much as it is a crime. Insert foto of snoring Rhino here. Seems I've heard screwing referred to as 'the act of love.' That can be a good bounce on the marriage bed followed by a smile at breakfast. But it's also something you can buy from a hooker, probably at increasingly unreasonable prices. You can also loan your lawn mower to the people next door. When they move away, taking it with them, you've been screwed, haven't you? Just think of it as an act of love.
"There are means by which we can control our border better than we have and there should be penalties for breaking the law," the former Republican Florida governor argued during an interview with Fox News' Shannon Bream from the George H.W. Bush presidential library in College Station, Texas. "But the way I look at this -- and this is not, you know, I'm going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it -- the way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family's, you know, a dad who loved their children was worried that their children didn't have food on the table. And they, you know, wanted to make sure their family was intact and they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. It's kind of -- it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family." We simply love the village of Einsiedeln, SZ. I'm sure the Swiss won't mind if we just bring the kids along and relocate there. I'll find some work in a hotel or café. I've got a great-uncle who was living in Liege last time my granddaddy heard from him. That was sometime in the 1930s. Maybe I'll go look his descendants up and move in with them. I'm sure they won't mind. It'll be an act of love.

I wonder what he would feel if someone (or an entire extended family) were to move into his house and start eating his food and guzzling his booze, leaving messes all over, peeing on the walls, stealing from his wife and kids, and hogging the TV remote.
Would he call the cops? Demand that they leave immediately? After all their moving is is simply an act of love!

His wife is Mexican so I suspect a lot of pro immigration background noise coming from the house.
Mexico is poverty, no education, no money. However people can't just walk in from there, they need to prove they are hard workers and believe in free enterprise and will pay their taxes, not a criminal. I know one guy who is about 50 from Mexico who works from 9 in the morning until 10 at night in a restaurant. Never sits down. They are welcome here if they followed a legal immigration process tailored for the Mexican background.
Unfortunately, the Rhinos and Dems are interested only in votes regardless of the fact that there are many of these people who are moochers, coyotes, and bandits.

You aren't demonstrating love if you fail to apply discipline and enforce the rule of law in fact, you are setting the country up to reap disastrous, painful results from the endorsement of illegal behavior and subsequent destructive choices. A good leader speaks and acts to dissuade illegal behavior to 1) protect the nation from further illegal behavior that could hurt others, and 2) restore the strength of the rule of law to health and wholeness.
Jeb Bush is contemplating running for the highest public office in the land, The Presidency of the United States of America. America has now had at least six years of this kind of disregard for the rule of law.
Frankly enough is enough, the next President needs to apply respect to the will of the United States citizenry not to the illegal alien and discipline himself to uphold the rule of law to strengthen the nation.
Your statement Mr. Bush, indicates you do not possess the discipline to provide the leadership this country in its hour of need.

Feeeeelings. Nothing more than, feeeeeeeeelings...
That, is the Left for you. And I include the sappy RINO's also.
Except for the upper percent who own and operate the place. Why should they reform it or even face revolution from the masses if they can dump their excess on the US. That's why they don't care about sealing the border. It works for their retention of power.
By the time of the armistice in Korea, South Korea as pretty much a economic basket case. It's a small area the size of Kansas or Florida. It has little natural resources and very limited arable land. Yet today it's GDP is ranked near Mexico's which several times it's size, has abundant natural resources, vast arable lands, a much larger population and hadn't suffered the extensive economic devastation that South Korea experienced. The only difference between the two is the deep underlying culture of corruption that has drained the potential of the country and has hurt the vast majority of its own citizens.
Till that is resolved the border will continue to be overflowing with what the ruling class in Mexico City dumps on the US.
Had the Beltway listened 10 years ago and had really sealed the border, much of this discussion would not even be here. Some sort of amnesty probably would have been worked out. However, the pols lie and lie again about doing something about it and then demonize those who want to end the farce this has all become.

Thanks Jeb, for helping me see what you are so early. Yet another example of why New England cannot seem to produce a genuine conservative, and of how dire a state the nation is in when pandering to 20 million illegals is considered essential for political strategy in the Republican establishment. The Republic is really, really in trouble.

Illegal immigration is often an act of love? Only if you believe rape is consensual sex and child molestation is an expression of love towards children. Illegal immigration is country and culture destroying. I saw where Germany does not permit citizenship unless you pass a German language proficiency test. If you don't pass the test, you don't get citizenship even if you married to a German citizen.

Bay of Islands, NZ for me. The locals will accept me even without documents, won't they? After all, it's the "progressive" thing to do...

If I lose my job and rob a 7/11 to feed my family is that an act of love? I won't go to jail will I?
#20
No worries, Besoeker. And one more thing...since they speak English in NZ, I have to come up with part of "my culture" that I MUST be allowed to retain no matter what. I think I'll keep on driving on the right side of the road :-)

We have the Mexicans that come here illegally, they find work, pay for their families in Mexico and eek out a living for themselves here. They have to keep their heads down, stay away from crime and the rest out of fear of deportation, and yet they still come, they find work and survive. Then we have the gettos in NYC. They feel we own them housing, a phone, internet, money for food, booze, and whatever. They wont leave the projects, look for work, and bitch and complain about how racist America is. I would take ever Mexican across the border with open arms over New York City projects any day.

It ain't gonna be JEB that's for sure, the name kills. But unless some currently obscure Republican can catch lighting in a bottle we're looking at 8 more years. The good news is that the party will continue to purify and distill itself until such time as there can be a consensus on WTF a Republican is.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
