Don't Vote for What You Fled
Don't Vote for What You Fled
My grandfather said, "Always use your head!".
I told him, "I want to pound nails!"
He said, "Best use a hammer instead."

Re: Don't Vote for What You Fled
Wow, if only Republicans could have spent the last four years since the Romney election autopsy spreading this message and actually reaching out to Hispanic cultures, they might have had a shot this year. Instead, all Hispanics hear is an orange guy yelling about how they're all murderers and rapists and building walls while a crook can pander to them and rely on their vote without actually giving them anything.
If they refuse to spread this message effectively, the GOP is going to have a VERY HARD time winning a presidential election as this and other minority voting blocks gets larger and larger each year.

I disagree, and I know what I'm talking about. I fled from same things.
A movie will not change them. I know, my people are the same. Waiting for government help or guidance is so much ingrained, that you can't change it.
They are and they will be even 2 generations from now pro-large government. They will vote pro democrats and anti liberties, because it's in their culture.
Now, some other kind of movie:

Re: Don't Vote for What You Fled
Both of those videos contain useful information. I've seen the gumball demonstration, before. That really illustrates the point.
As to the orange haired guy who yells a lot; well, he really doesn't yell, that much. That's just all the media clips show. And, one can't be too mad at him; he's right.
Kelu is right, too. And, one point where the original video was wrong, was where the presenter claimed that no one was showing up for free stuff. Yes, they are. As far as they know, all they have to do is sneak in, squeeze out a kid, and they get freebies from the taxpayer forever, and so do their kids. Considering the conditions they left behind, they're much better off here. Plus, they can go to work, make tax free money, and since they don't mind squeezing 10+ people into tiny apartments, they have plenty of money to send to their families at home, who are likely saving up enough to pay a guy to bring them here, as well. Which he will gladly do, and probably make them carry some contraband across with them, as part of the deal.
It's assumed that there is some sort of right to be here. And, there is, as long as you were born here, to citizens of this country. Other than that, being here is a privilege. Sneaking into the country, no matter how dangerous the journey, does not earn you the privilege. It just makes you a daring criminal. The last thing we need in this country is criminal mooches.
Build the wall. Walls work, especially if patrolled by armed guards that shoot anybody who gets too close to the southern side of it. It worked in Berlin. Sure, a few folks slipped through, but it was no where near as porous as our southern border currently is.

I'm stealing that phrase "DO NOT VOTE FOR WHAT YOU FLED!"
