Republicans hate America 23: If you love Migrants so much why don't you house them?

"We can fight about fixing the border or we can fix it..." - President Biden, State of the Union March 7, 2024.

If you love the immigrants so much why don't you put them in your house?  In Chicago, at least, one man is doing his best to answer this disingenuous rhetorical retort with "Alright..."

Joselin Mendoza sleeps on the floor of a cold stone basement with her two kids at a house in Roseland.

The property’s owner Chris Amatore came by in a truck one day in January and offered her the chance to leave a city-run shelter before she and her family were kicked out.

He has now resettled close to 500 migrants in 15 buildings around the city, spending $150,000 of his own money, he said.

Amatore’s solution isn’t a long-term fix — for himself or the migrants, who are grateful for the vacant buildings they now call home. He is facing strong backlash from community members and city officials, as housing experts raise alarms about what is going to happen to thousands of people without assistance. 

This man's humanity, compassion and dedication to his fellow man are beyond reproach.  He's a General Contractor who founded, a company Manage Chicago, most likely buying and flipping homes and buildings.  Now... Flippers and General Contractors can be ruthless predators but, Chris Amatore apparently put his money where his mouth is this winter.

However, 'this why don't you do it' is the Gotcha Lib! rhetoric question rightwingers use to put you on the defensive and "prove" you're a hypocrite when it comes to the so-called Migrants crisis.  Now, understand the Republicans don't frame this as a human crisis but use the phrase Border Crisis.  This is deliberate.

The reason I (or even a business like Manage Chicago) don't simply house all the immigrants is the same reason I don't simply solve the Israel/Palestine problem... Such problems are too big for any one person to solve or handle alone.  Of course, this is precisely the reason Man (Homo Politicus) came together to form Government in the first place; to deal with problems which are too big for anyone to address.  Of course, the Republican solution for immigrants is the same for the Palestinians; Total Eradication.

Now, this Gotcha Lib! bad faith device has been used by rightwingers before as they've said this for decades about homeless (or unhoused people) i.e. if you really want to hep the homeless you'd let them stay in your house.

And now a variation is being used to undermine the military aid to Ukraine as Republicans have apparently discovered many Veterans Republicans have been fucking over for years are homeless.

Of course, Republicans are full of shit because just like everything they say they have no intention of every following through.  But, they've played the Corporate Media to reporting Republican words are as good as action.  Being a conservatives means having No Memory and shamelessly using their past panics and phony crisis to undercut the current dilemma. 

 Republicans have claimed over and over again in committee meetings and interviews that Joe Biden is so senile he can't speak.  Biden just talked rhetorical circles around every Republican in the chamber.

One of the avenues of attack, Republicans have taken on President Biden is to invent "The Border Crisis".

In Katie Breathy Britt's, vile lie filled speech she referenced the border 9 times without mentioning the people.  Well, except to tell a Massive Lie (using the Excluded Middle Fallacy) about a trafficked young woman allowing rightwing drones to believe it was happening under President Biden when, in fact, the situation occurred in Mexico, in 2004, when George Worst Ever was President.

But, have you noticed that in order to demonize President Biden, it is necessary for Republicans to remove humanity from "The Crisis".  Dehumanization is the first step towards death trains and concentration camps.

But, Republicans are planning far, far worse.  Rightwingers across the country claim the Border is the biggest issue facing America.  They've dutifully been conditioned and if Trump gets back in, they will dutifully support the next step for the "illegals";  Rounding-up and elimination.

Mike Davis, one of the men under consideration by Trump and the Project 2025 for Attorney General, proudly told rightwingers in September 2023 he would “unleash hell on Washington, D.C." , would "indict President Joe Biden and every other scumball, sleazeball Biden,” and helping pardon those found guilty of crimes associated with the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. 

“We’re gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing—anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents,” Davis said. “We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious. We’re gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo.”

Steve Bannon, says the 2024 Election is a referendum on "deportation" of 10,000,000 people.

But, remember there always is that unspoken middle between what Republicans openly talk about now and the physical deportation of 10 MILLION people.  How do you find them?  How do you arrest and process them?  Where do they go when awaiting deportation?  

Stephen Miller went further, 

“You grab illegal immigrants, and then you move them to the staging grounds, and that’s where the planes are waiting”

"The Staging Grounds" are that unspoken middle, Millions of people in concentration camps and you absolutely know that will result in huge number of deaths, rapes, and other crimes as once Republicans have successfully demonized "illegals" and have millions of people in custody far from peoples eyes it will be easy for Conservatives to simply accept the liquidation of these people.

In 2025, if they've managed to secure power Republicans will destroy the United States of America.  Democrats build, Republicans destroy.  The choice for President is clear and simple;  Either you support Joe Biden and the United States or you fundamentally wish to end the Democratic Republic and replace it with a Christian Fascist Nation.

Additional:

I don't think it can be stated strongly enough just how much Republicans hate America and loathe the American people.  Republican Senator James Lankford was censured by the Oklahoma GOP for being seen during the SOTU saying "It's True." as President Biden laid out exactly how Donald John Traitor Trump scuttled the Bi-Partisan Border Security Bill.  There is no greater sin than correctly reporting Republican actions.  Republicans absolutely have no interest in governing or solving problems; they are laser-focused on destroying the United States.  Republican-led domestic terrorism is coming when Trump loses in 2024, be prepared...

Pigfvckers Darren Bailey, Sean Hannity, and Curtis Silwa endorse violence against immigrants (Faux News and Guardian Angels attack innocent man on air)

Bailey's Farm 1172 Miles from Eagle's Pass  

That pigfvcker Darren Bailey is back at it again.  Now, even though the "Bailey Family Farm" is located just south of Effingham, Illinois nearer to the border with Kentucky than anywhere close to Mexico, Pigfvcker Bailey decided he needed to travel to Eagle's Pass, Texas.  As you may have guessed his press conference afterwards was an endorsement of voting for Pigfvcker Darren Bailey,

 

“Friends, it’s time to vote for a secure border. It’s time to vote for a safe America.  It’s time to vote for me.”

As with Jim Oberweis, there's something about these wanna-be Landed Gentry who believe they are the Patrician Class and political office is owed to them as their birthright.  Darren Bailey absolutely believes he is owed Illinois office and the deference from the American people.  Bailey also repeated lies about "illegal" immigration and fentanyl and was accompanied by Illinois Freedom Caucus State Rep. Blaine Wilhour another downstate Illinois farmer.  Wilhour spoke about the need to stand up to Governor J.B. Pritzker, an end to sanctuary cities, and the help for Illinois residents instead of migrants.  

Hilariously, the real problems at the border are the various factions of Reactionaries turning on one another at Eagle's Pass as they learn Faux News and rightwing liars, lied to them again.

One of the most bad faith tacks rightwingers take when talking about money for Migrants is too bemoan that money could be going to homeless veterans.  It's the most disingenuous bait-and-switches Republicans use, similar to how they try to distract from every mass shooting and sensible gun control law by talking about Mental Health, which is another thing Republicans will never fund.

Republicans have no intention of helping homeless veterans, Republicans routinely piss on Veterans.  While Chickenhawk coward Sean Hannity was broadcasting an attack on President Biden and giving a bullshit monologue claiming Eric Adams and New York City liberals should be giving homeless veterans a $106,000 debit card they are giving migrants, his bad faith broadcast was interrupted by Curtis Silwa proclaiming, "our guys have just taken down one of these migrants."  Because "they've taken over.  They're taking over."

Sean Hannity has always loved domestic violence

“The Guardian Angels spotted him, stopped him, he resisted, and let’s just say we gave him a little pain compliance,” Sliwa said. “His mother, back in Venezuela felt the vibrations. He is sucking concrete. The cops scraped him off the asphalt. He’s on his way to jail.”

FUCK YEAH!  Pain Compliance!  His momma felt the vibrations!  BOOM!  Suck Concrete!  Nice admission to the crime of battery and unlawful restraint but, Republicans are already comfortable with the idea of rounding-up people and shipping them off to camps.  If you resist well, rightwing paramilitary terrorists will make sure you "suck a little concrete" before your train ride to a concentration camp.

Well, guess what?  It turns out the man is a New Yorker from the Bronx and not a "dastardly" immigrant and was merely speaking Spanish and Silwa invented a story about him "shoplifting" to justify the assault & battery his Red Beret Paramilitary terrorists visited upon him. (Crooks & Liars).

I am completely unsurprised the "Guardian Angels" saw a brown person, accosted him, and threw him onto the street.  Look, don't kid yourself, Fascism is already here.  Faux News labeled this video "Guardian Angels stop Migrant Attack in NYC"...  Republicans will call their violent mistreatment of migrants and "suspected" migrants as enhanced Internal Border Patrol and beef up and super charge the Homeland Security Apparatus and then use it as all Authoritarians do; to cow and control the populace at home.  Of course, the circle of enemies will expand from migrants, to those who aid migrants, to LGBTQ+ persons, to women who get abortions, to anyone suspected of being associated with an abortion, to anyone teaching children wrong American history, to anything Republicans can come up to send people to the massive concentration camps Republicans have already planned to create Day 1 in 2025.

This is how The Law works in a rightwing dictatorship, you are guilty on sight and if you resist then you get roughed up (or killed) before being taken away.  Just ask any black person you might know about the presumption of innocence.

I'm not telling you to take to the street and fight the foaming at the mouth angry white people but, have you thought of what you'd do watching a gaggle of fat white fuckers throwing around and beating some Person of Color or a young person who they claim is a "biological male"?  Be brave if you can, but be prepared.

Migrant Buses and the Government's inability to respond to a crisis Part 5: Caravan of Conservative Terrorists on the way to the Border

There may be a convoy of armed rightwing domestic paramilitary terrorists is heading to the Texas border to bolster Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton's play.  (Never forget Republicans are so fat and financially well-off that the can take off for weeks or months and drive 1000's of miles bringing their arsenals of expensive guns to go Glamping and Cosplaying Cops in the Texas desert.). They call themselves TOBB and 'God's Army' as conservatives continue to make violations of Godwin's Law meaningless, knowing that the FNYT will simply not call them Fascists and will continue to BothSides everything, while making Republican Perfidy just palatable enough for the largely politically unmotivated middle able to punch that (R) on the ballot with a semi-clear conscience.  

"Let me tell you, I'm not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat," Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. 

Republicans not only have no intention of doing anything constructive in reference to the border and immigration, it looks like they are hoping to spark a shooting confrontation with Federal forces.  And you know these Convoy Cosplay gun-tottin' yahoos are just itchin' to shoot a brown person. 

Republicans saw the Trump loving murderer in El Paso as a model and a Hero.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.  They are not interested in anything to help the American people or to effectively govern the United States, nor any desire to interact with the wider world other than to play big swinging dick and tell everyone else well, SUCK. ON. THIS!  It's Rule or Ruin.  That's what's going on and that's what 2024 is all about.

I've said before but, when The Left (writ large) became so disgusted by the criminal and oppressive actions of Republicans and rightwingers we made a "mistake" in allowing them to co-opt the language of Patriotism, Freedom, and Liberty.  Republicans profane the Untied States of America but, they learned from the mistakes of their ideological ancestors in the Confederacy and have worked for decades to infiltrate, subvert, co-opt, and pervert the Nation into an ungovernable conglomeration of little fascist fiefdoms.  It's the same with religion, or more specifically christianity in America.  The abuses by the religious leaders, the dehumanization of people written into dogma, and the massive on-going grift by various denominations have allowed the worst people to claim the mantle of religious leadership.

Will this Texas border stunt turn into Mahleur Bird Sanctuary or a Waco?  Well, Biden was no doubt advising President Obama not to let the Bundy Insurrection (#1 or #2) turn into a large scale Ruby Ridge, which the Bundy Klan and Supporters definitely wanted but, this time we have a Governor and multiple "Law Enforcement" Agencies in Texas defying Supreme Court rulings and ratcheting up the pressure for a shoot-out.  Faux News continues to call this a Civil War, so you know diaper wearing rightwing grandpas watching at home are itching for this to be the Casus Belli, and open insurrection they've yearned for, for so, so long.

Understand quite clearly, Republicans have no desire to fix "The Border" because it has supplanted "Abortion" as the cause célèbre for Republicans to gin up Fear and Anger amongst their rabid base.  Notice how Republicans are fighting to make sure Abortion is nowhere on any ballot in 2024.

Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.

I will be amazed but, not surprised if Republican Treachery in Texas results in electoral victories for Traitor Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 elections because this bullshit border theater is too early to be an October Surprise.  But, the Republicans have subverted the government at many levels and will continue to do so not only because it helps them get elected but, also because Republicans don't believe in a functioning government. 

So... where are we right now?  Republican Governors are openly pledging their allegiance to this Texas Sedition and sending their National Guardsmen to help.  Republican Congressmen are clearly behind the effort and if something goes sideways I believe Texas Republicans and the various rightwing paramilitary are going to declare some sort of Declaration to overthrow the criminal Biden Crime Family by any means necessary.

Migrant Buses and the Government's inability to handle any Crisis - Part 1: Background

Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. - Exodus 22:21

"One-to-one problem, yes.  FIVE-to-one problem too much ask anyone," - The Karate Kid (1984)

As a massive blizzard descends upon Chicago and the stories coming out about the struggles migrant people are facing having been shipped to Northern Illinois by vile Republican human traffickers it's useful to understand a little of how we got here.

As Republicans continue to demonstrate on Capitol Hill, they have zero ability to respond to any real crisis.  Now, Republicans certainly have the ability to create crises such as when Tommy Tubberbrain decided he was going to use his Liberum Veto to personally hold up the promotions of senior military officers.  Or with the Republican led House continued inability to fund the government.  Or with the Republican circuses surrounding Hunter Biden, which demonstrates Republicans have no interest in governing but in merely grandstanding and using the awesome power government to go after anyone who threatens their power.

Republican governance consists solely of the hollowing out of the functions of Government and the creation of a Nation which has zero-margin for error when dealing with any crisis.  Now, this is partially because Republicans have said for decades that government doesn't work so it's imperative for them to prove that axiom true by undermining the government all the time.  Doing so under the a of a Democratic President is an added bonus of them being able to blame Barack or Biden for Republican perfidy.

Immigration is not a crisis it's not even a problem but, because of 40+ years of Republicans slashing the social safety net, of Republicans undermining the Nation's industry and foundation, of Republicans using social issues to undercut government programs and funnel taxpayer money into the hands of private business, the Government at local, State, and the Federal level seems unable to address it.

Republicans have hollowed out the concept of community.  Much like the dumb car culture in America, the creation of suburbs and exurbs has led to the atomization of thinking Americans have been brain-washed into thinking each of them and all of us are individual islands instead of a shared continent.  When you couple, Republicans mean-spirited social programs with ruinous Republicans economic theories and policies the majority of the American people are too focused on their own day-to-day struggles to try and help their fellow man.

Of course, Government was supposed to be the creation of people to collectively handle issues too big for any one man to handle themselves.  This is also the mytho-historical truth of the creation of the United States of America; from the Founding Fathers "Join, or Die" to Abraham Lincoln "In Union there is Strength" and is absolutely why Republicans do not want Civics or history taught to children anymore. 

The United States has been limping along on the bones of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and Works Progress Administration for decades now.  That evil slime Ronnie Raygun was hired by the Republican apparatchiks to slay the New Deal and make the idea of government toxic, which he successfully did.

One of his prime targets was the idea of government social services.   Raygun famously declared Social security was going bankrupt over 40 years ago a cry which Republicans echo til this day without anyone in the Corporate Media calling them out for their bullshit.

"As you know, the Social Security System is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy," Ronnie Raygun letter to Congress May 21st 1981.

Raygun also famously got his start by cutting a record for Chesterfield cigarettes calling Medicare and Medicaid "Socialism",

"One of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America... when men were free."

That scumbag Reagan damaged the country in so many ways but...  But!  He also granted amnesty to 11 million immigrants in a move no Republican today would tolerate and rightwing propagandists would call for the impeachment and the execution of any President DemocRAT who did.  (OH LOOK, Republicans are trying to bootstrap the term "Insurrection" because of the "8 Million" onto Joe Biden even if Missouri Attorney General Jay NEPO BABY Ashcroft couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground during an interview with CNN.

The basic facts are the Republican Party is completely uninterested in helping anyone; immigrants or American citizens.  The Republican Party does not believe the federal government should aid or help anyone; you are on your own.  The 40+ years of "compassionate conservatism" has been a cover the Party and the Media allies use to cover the awful truth of the Republican Party; a wholly Fascist Organization wedded to destroying the American dream and shackling the vast majority of the American People into perpetual corporate bondage and under the tyrannical thumb of christian fundamentalism. 

Fox News and the entire Republican Party treat Veterans like Toilet Paper

I became aware of this lie while watching the channel of Brian Tyler Cohen and he sums up the Republican perfidy succinctly.

Who cares if it's not true!
It's what conservatives want to hear!

I don't think I've ever seen a more casually despicable and off-handedly shameless piece of agitprop in a long time.  This isn't just a lie, it was an outright fraud, an outright conspiracy in which Republican agent provocateurs appear to have picked homeless men off the street and instructed them to pretend to be Veterans and then concocted a tale of them being kicked out of hotel to make room for Joe Biden's Illegal Immigrants.

I think I'm not being clear enough.  Republicans in New York pulled a George Santos knowing this MASSIVE FRAUD would be picked up Nationally, rebroadcast and generate a lot of Rightwing Outrage and engagement.

MediaMatters as usual has an extensive summation of the hundreds of lies Republicans and Faux News perpetrated because they know, THEY ABSOLUTELY KNOW, conservatives will believe this story no matter how many times in is debunked.  Homeless Veterans kicked out for Illegal Immigrants stimulates the Fear&Anger response conservatives crave.

Republicans breathlessly rushed to get in their condemnations of this, they dusted off their oratory skills to pretend to be Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's Julius Caeser to denounce this shocking mistreatment of America's Heroes while giving those people, those Non-Citizens, those criminals, those Illegals preferential treatment.  Of course, of fucking course, Faux News ran despicable segment after segment after segment of how America's Heroes, Our Best & Brightest, Those to Whom We Owe so so much, were mistreated by Joe while also lighting up the pleasure centers of the rightwing brain by pumping the Border Crisis lie and Racism against anyone from Mexico, Central America, and South America.

This made up story is the Pure Dope to the rightwing Wurlitzer of lies and propaganda.  This is beyond low.  This is beyond deplorable.  I am beyond incensed.  

We've always known that Republicans treat Veterans and Service members like dog shit and little Risk tokens, flinging us about and using us to advance the mean rightwing agenda of oppression and intolerance.

Republicans don't give a shit about the unhoused community.  Republicans don't give a rat's hind tit about homeless people.  Republicans especially don't fucking care about Homeless Veterans.  Republicans use people and Republicans shit all over the Nation, the Flag, the American people.

ThankYouForYourService

Rightwingers have lived for decades on the lie that they are the Party of Veterans, that they are the Party of Law & Order.  And it's absolute bullshit.  Republicans haven't been the Party of the Military for 40 fucking years.  Most of the enlisted who served during the Phony GWoT, that Republican warmongering adventure, pushed by Faux News and the entire Republican media apparatus are liberal or left in viewpoint.  This was demonstrated conclusively by the 2020 election in which the Military (writ large) voted for Joe Biden conclusively over Traitor Trump.

Coked Out Chickenhawk Coward
speaks for all Veterans  

The undeniable fact that Veterans and Service Members voted for Joe Biden really makes MAGA mad.  This is why MAGA crafted the large overarching narrative of a rigged and stolen election, they still believe (or affect to believe) that they are the large silent majority and represent the American people and values of the United States.  And they don't.  They... Don't... and this dissonance is leading us to were we are currently and were we are going in the next couple of years.

Fascism is here and the violent death throes of recalcitrant rightwing villains will follow.

Addendum: 

As always HRC was far too kind when she called half of Republicans a basket of deplorable, because every Republican is straight trash.  Unredeemable garbage people.  And that a Party of chickenhawk cowards and warmongering draft dodgers feels absolutely free to bandy about Veterans as though We belong to them is just the cherry on top of the galling shit sundae.
