These aren’t illegal.
Look deeper. Quite a few of the 100,000 Haitians given TPS since 2021 have had their status expire without reapplying. That makes them illegal. And quite a few have come through the southern border and never actually applied.

Are we anti-Haitian immigrant? No, we're not.
So stop making up stories about them eating pets. Address the actual problem.
I say this from the bottom of my
️...Fuck you. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Most of the pitiful island you immigrated from has gone bloody nuts, because you're worried about appearances. It doesn't matter about your justice system,your freedom of speech or your national identity, as long as the Brits don't by God offend somebody.
It gets tiresome listening to drivel from assholes with absolutely no skin in the game telling people to STFU when their communities are overrun with more people than they can successfully assimilate.
America is not a racist country, not when measured by the yardstick used for the rest of the world. And it's tiresome being constantly accused of it.
Sometimes, I think it might have been better to let the deranged Austrian painter have yall's ass and been done with it. Maybe that's why Washington rightly told us to stay out of foreign entanglement.
Maybe all the wars we've fought since 1950, simply to keep a lid on things, maybe all the young men and women who came back in body bags, all the constant calls for us to do something to right the wrongs, from Ukraine to Korea to Taiwan...Were they worth it?
Were they worth the blood and treasure of all those sorry racist American bastards who walk out of all those little Southern towns, Midwestern cities and the Rust Belt, donning their country's uniform, pledging to protect and defend from all enemies foreign and domestic?
Tell me, critic. Tell me, is it worth it?
Predictably, you're failing to address my point and resorting to personal insults and irrelevant nonsense. I never said America was racist.
Making up stories about illegal immigrants isn't ok, but now you've moved on to making up stories about what I said, too.
At your age you should be able to have a discussion without making it personal. Your blood pressure might be something to consider, if nothing else.
And what on earth Donald Trump making up idiotic stores about Haitians has to do with Hitler, Korea, or the United Kingdom is completely beyond me.
Like 89, I too believe your observations and questions on this subject are valid and should be addressed rationally.
The influx of illegals affects virtually all Western states at this time. We all have skin in this game no matter where we reside or claim citizenship.

My name's on that page. There's not an insignificant chance that my retirement was going to be based out of Charleroi, Karla and I had discussed it. This is extremely personal to me. The fact is that my home town is being destroyed as we speak. Every freaking day I see another report in my facebook feed of somebody being attacked or a Hatian drunk driver crashing onto somebody's porch or into their yard. The posts typically include the pictures and Police reports. The school I graduated from has fallen apart to economic stress and drugs.
Do I think Haitians are eating Fido? I rather doubt it, but as I have repeatedly said, that's not the real story here.
So, there's a big problem with an influx of Haitians. Isn't the best way to deal with this to talk about the actual problem?
Am I the only person here who sees that just making shit up isn't a good way to win an argument?
It's a way that happens. You can get outraged over this one. It seems to be living a short and ultimately futile life.
Meanwhile, "those neo nazis were some fine people" has existed for many, many years, and still makes an appearance in presidential debates the entire world watches. Something tells me your emotional reaction to that bit of fiction isn't quite on the level as this reaction. Hey we all have our biases, but outrage is rarely fairly distributed.

I hate to have to point this out, but I'm not the one being overly emotional here. If you can't see that, I don't know what to say.
I was only joking

I am sure that those who truly believe in the pet eating moral panic are emotional. I'm not aware of those people, but I trust that they exist.

Indeed it would that some have moved on from subscribing to and disseminating Coffee and Donut shop gossip to Coffee and Pet Shop gossip.

It makes a difference to all the people tagged as racists who aren't.
Ever deal with a drunk? An obnoxious drunk?
Either you just walk away or if you don't have that option, you beat him. Not one of those one-lick and bounce around bullshit fights. I'm talking about you bring the Wrath of God and you whip that man until he can't get up. That's about the only two things you can do, since reasoning no longer works.
I'm afraid a lot of the country is becoming like this. Excuse me for being melodramatic, but people are just becoming tired of the bullshit. The woke bullshit. The racist bullshit. The inflation. The border bullshit. The Washington D.C. bullshit.
And Jon can laugh at me, but something is going to give. Whether the country swings right or left, I don't know. But I do know it will be driven by the middle-class and it will be carried out in a ruthless, efficient manner.

The "racist bullshit" made a headlining appearance in the middle of the world televised presidential debate, as Kamala trotted out the "fine people" line which paints Trump and by extension his supporters as cartoonish neo-nazi sympathizers. And the fact-checking moderators? They took a pass on that one.

You missed the point of my (admittedly smart-ass) post. I was responding to Horace's whataboutism with a famously taken out-of-context quote from the other side of the aisle.
I don't understand your resistance to accept that what Trump said was wrong. There is a real problem in this country and many others with illegal immigration. At the risk of being overly repetitious, making up stories about it really doesn't help.
If we want a serious debate, it might be an idea for at least one side to act like adults. This pet-eating bullshit is no worse than AOC breaking down in crocodile tears at the border, but that doesn't mean it's ok.

Here's what a lot of people are missing in the pet for food story...Trump didn't use the story because he knew it was a lie. Trump was using something he had read in the media, something that he could believe was true.
As someone who lived in a town with a large section of recently arrived South Vietnamese, where you couldn't find a neighborhood dog by dragging a porterhouse steak down the street, I understand the thought process. After all, hadn't there been ducks, geese and other tame creatures coming up missing?
So, here's the legs on the cat story...It may not be true but it wasn't something a lot of people dismissed out of hand. That's your story, the story of too many people, quickly moved into one area and the problems that has brought.

Had the perps been rural Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese the story would have had much more plausibility.

Maybe someone who uses the term ‘fake news’ as often as he does should be a little more cautious.

Indeed, I would imagine the local goat population would be more at risk of Haitians than the feline or canine.

There actually have been a couple of goat carcasses found on Twilight Hollow in Charleroi… (actually Speers, just outside of Charleroi)
