    Squid I love to replying to your idiot lemmycrat takes. I am not against being charitable, hell my faith requires taking care of my neighbors especially when they at the border asking for assistance. With that said who is supposed to pay this bill? And if Biden who allows and supports this status quo won’t give federal funds, like who is supposed to pay for this? Cause it sounds like you midwestern folk got alot to say about a place you don’t even visit and contribute nothing to. Like squid what was last dollar you spent in Metro NY?

      You mean other than when I went there last year or…?

      (Believe it or not, us “midwestern folk” have access to cars and airplanes and such. Those inventions have made it west.)

      My mother is a New Yorker. She grew up in Rockaway Beach. I’ve been there many, many times.

      Also, believe it or not, immigrants also come to the Midwest. Again, believe it or not, there is land to the west of you that people live on. We even pay taxes! Just like you do! Isn’t that amazing? On top of that, we have the exact same number of chromosomes as the average New Yorker.

      You wouldn’t think it because we don’t call our convenience stores bodegas, but we are members of the homo sapiens species.

      If that peeves you, what until you find out how much of your tax dollars are funding a rogue country hellbent on the genocide of people from 2 countries, while bombing them and 2 other and dragging the US into another long term regional war, which has been overwhelmingly criticized by nearly every other country on Earth. This pales in comparison.
