Refugees fleeing religious persecution. I had never heard it told that way before.

Seriously?

Also, I think the Mormon Missionary program makes Utah much more sympathetic to immigrants than the broader population.

I really like the application of this quote here. It fits because Mormans are unquestionably more seriously religious than other conservatives. I also wonder if many conservatives have any motivation at all to do anything outside their perceived own self interest in general when they ignore Christianity.

Christianity in America is a tricky thing because it’s so entrenched in the political system that people can mean completely different things when talking about Christian principles. Some aren’t referring to religion at all but rather extremely old American social policies and traditions.

Without Christians (real and fake) conservatism is basically a couple hundred really rich guys and most of the gun nuts.

Meanwhile there are many other people some of whom who are conservatives, who are very concerned about our Afghan allies and want to see them get out of Afghanistan on our transport planes.

Does that horse in the second picture have a 69 branded into its hindquarter?

If you can't come out in full camo with full auto, you might as well play cowboy.

Congratulations again to the cartels and the human traffickers.

Because this administration cannot control the border and because the majority of migrants know they're not going to be sent back, the BP has had to surge resources from other sectors to Del Rio and hundreds of miles of the border are either not staffed or understaffed.

So again, congrats to the cartels, the human traffickers, the Fentanyl traffickers/makers and the people who launder the cartels money.

Maybe farmer Steve Dave can weigh in but aren’t those just the reins?

Yes, the Border Patrol were attacking these people while on horseback and whipping grown men with horse reins. I've never been hit with reins but I can't imagine that feels great. At least it doesn't appear as if they are the braided reins.

Eh. Watched the video. Didn't see any contact with the reins. Yes, I saw the twirl.

Can we get a Snopes ruling on the "rounding up refugees with whips" claim?

The eff?

First of all, yes, at least one dude definitely got whipped with the reins. Big nothingburger? You'll let me hit you with some horse reins, have you ever handled reins? Not to mention these dudes were on the backs of 1800 pound horses.

Y'all dehumanized these Haitians to the point where we think it's no big deal for them to be beaten with a leather strap from another dude on a horse? eff, sad day.

Stills are from this video. https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1439989195871825921


Yes, he spins his lariat but there's no strike. Dude tripped on a rock and stumbled. He wasn't struck.


What shall we do as a nation here? How do we vet and house this many people? How in the eff they got to the Mex/US border from Haiti makes me scratch my head.
