We just spent 1000s of dollars.  Multiple back ground checks,  at least 4 trips to USICS, 2 physicals, and a mountain of paper work to get our citizenship today. We also registered yo vote at USICS today. No one should be allowed to come across the border illegally. Zer tolerance. 

 

As for the ceremony.  It was awesome . They talked about learning English, played the national anthem,  Lee Grenwoods proud to be American. Recited the pledge of allegiance and played short Video from our President. 

 

It was enough to trigger a good little MDL into a TDS meltdown. 

 

One person in front of me did not stand up and played on her phone during the National anthem. I contemplated would federal charge I would get for grabbing her by her hair and snatching her to her feet.

Congrats!  Katya went through her naturalization ceremony back in June and it was also great, but there was no one disrespecting the ceremony.  I like to go to MSU football games, and so far none of the players from either side have knelt during the National Anthem, but there is a girl on the dance team that takes a knee regularly.  In reality it looks very pathetic.

That story is hilarious.  Worth it, too, to see the English spelling "gonorrhoea."

Has anyone called the people of Tijuana racist for chanting for them to get out and chanting they are not wanted there?

Man... Mexicans can be as "whatever" as anyone.  Years ago, I ran into one (here in the U.S.) who absolutely hated Guatemaltecos.  He called them "stupid, and ugly like apes."  I don't know what brought this on, nor did I inquire as to his reasoning.  Today, I would inquire.

“I’m not afraid of them, this is just racism,” said Alonzo Castillo, 37, a construction worker from Honduras.

Mexicans vs Dominicans

Puerto Ricans vs Mexicans

Xxxx vs Yyyy

 

Doesn't matter.  The discord will always be there.

Where are you, @JimandChristy??  I need you to reassure me that the story about immigrants trying to invade is just fake news, please.  Reassure me so I will know it’s not really happening!!

It added that Mexican authorities had contained the protest at the crossing between Tijuana and San Diego and that, despite heightened tensions there, Mexico would not send military forces to control 7,417 migrants from a caravan who have gathered at the border.

In the wake of a strong response by Border Patrol, who over the weekend launched tear gas at the asylum seekers—including children and women—the migrants’ hopes of seeking refuge on U.S. soil is fading, and at least 350 of them have asked authorities to help them return to their country of origin.

“If they don’t come, I’ll return to my home,” a 22-year-old Guatemalan migrant told Reuters, adding that he would not stay in Mexico because low-paying salaries do not allow him to send money back to his country. “You don’t earn well here.”

So the Leftist media and some MDL politicians are saying Trump used “chemical weapons” and show children fleeing and coughing from the tear gas.  Where were these folks when the Obama controlled ICE did the same thing over and over again?

A killer convicted in Honduras and an MS-13 gang member also from Honduras were arrested in California last weekend after crossing the border illegally, Border Patrol said Friday.

The two are being held up by federal authorities as examples of some of the criminals who have traveled through Mexico to the border with Central American caravans hoping to enter the U.S., many through the asylum process.

Both arrests occurred Saturday.

Around 11 p.m., agents detected three people crossing the border about one mile east of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, authorities said. The trio was arrested and taken to a Border Patrol station for processing. There, documents indicated that one of the men had been released recently from prison in Honduras after serving 10 years for homicide and three years for robbery.

The man, 46, admitted he’d been released four months ago and traveled with the caravan to Tijuana.

The man’s record was confirmed with the Honduran Consulate in Los Angeles.

The two other men with him, ages 22 and 38, are also from Honduras. One had been deported previously, authorities said.

All three are being held in Department of Homeland Security custody pending deportation proceedings, officials said, with no criminal charges filed. It was unclear why they weren’t being charged with illegal entry under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.

Earlier in the evening near the Calexico Port of Entry, Border Patrol agents encountered a 29-year-old man suspected of being in the country illegally, authorities said. The man told agents that he was a Honduran citizen who had traveled with the caravan, and that he was an active gang member with MS-13, a notoriously violent group.

He also was being held pending immigration processing and repatriation to Honduras with no criminal charges filed.
