Name one legitimate example. Good luck, there isn't one. If you've got access to someone with critical thinking skills, enlist them. You obviously need help here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how this map is vague, it is not of much use other than to say it indicates the USA remains the main destination, which bolsters the claim it is the "Last Beacon of Hope" or "Preferred beacon of hope", and that there are growing areas producing migrants and they go to places that are closer to home but better than home. You can see that very clearly. Light Red areas (migrant producers) are pretty much adjacent to newer centers of migration growth. I did notice that you did not refute my position on your statement. Must not have been as good as you thought in retrospect. Upshot is with this post, you are trying to deny that most immigrants come to the US and the reason why. There is a reason for it and I'll leave it to you to figure it out. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason for it and I'll leave it to you to figure it out. mspart Would seem there are quite a few more "beacons of hope" for migrants, and the US isn't the "last" one. It just isn't - and anyone who claims otherwise is mistaken. This fact is important because some US politicians are pushing a fictional storyline that doesn't align with facts (Yes, I know, none of us should be surprised by politicians trying to manipulate reality - that is what most do.) Given the evidence, I suspect you would agree with this. Sure, we can deflect into which is the biggest or most 'preferred' - yada yada - but then we'd just be bickering over nothing. If you want to 'win' the argument, then fine - I declare you the winner. Just be straight with me. That's all I ask and all I can offer you.

People who own gun stores D . People who delve into criminal activity Upon second thought. I choose A. and B. I have intimate knowledge of the desires of one football (both kinds) loving boat owner, and he definitely wants this. I assume people who own gun stores do not want this because it hurts profits. I assume criminals do not want this because it would be one more thing can go to jail for.

Anyways. Some of the worst areas to live in have the strictest gun laws. where i live we have probably 35 percent active or retired military. How do I know . They were my customers for 20 years. We have sensible gun laws. Our crime is way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
