    That isn’t what they claim. They have to assert a well founded fear of persecution and prove it at a hearing. The description you gave was how Donald Trump described the places where they come from when he also said that he preferred Norwegians. Pretty clear code that certainly reached a receptive audience of which you are a member.

    I've been to the area four times in 14 years. Three times were for events and one time was going through to the Keys if you want to count that. I was there in May for the F1 race weekend. Trust me if I don't have to go to Miami I don't. Even for other events I've driven down, gone to the event and then left.

    So what have the Hispanics there added? Traffic? Crime? Overburdened schools? Exactly the fear I have for most of the country. Miami literally has no room left. It is the very perfect example as to why overpopulation is bad.

    Oh and I forgot to add the wonderful traffic and decaying infrastructure in Miami. It becomes more like Latin America each day. The point is I should never be able to go to a city in the United States where English is so universally not spoken that I can't even order food.

    If you cant go to a restaurant and even order food that seems like a you problem. Somehow I was still able to eat in countries where I didn't speak the language.

    And they can voluntary get off the bus, too... I don't see anywhere where it says they forced the bus to stop ... and as you correctly noted, they could have gotten off at a McDonald's lunch and bathroom break for all you know.

    You’re right and I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong. My approach has obviously been flawed.

    I don’t have any faith Abbott would do this but the transportation should be by plane, not bus. Make sure they are able to get to DC in a quick and seamless manner without the risk of not getting back on the bus.

    Good luck getting off at an alternate destination action off a plane.

    That's quite a world you envision. Texas state troopers keeping the immigrants prisoners on buses as they travel through state after state.
    You sure you've got the right country?

    You’re so missing the point (I won’t try to explain it to you) that I had to give you a funny emoji.

    Really? Are they being forced on the bus? Held against their will? Destroyed because they think the wrong way. Forced to comply with what the Democrats think.

    The Democrats are the real fascists or even communists. Fascists and Communists expect complete devotion to government. Government is God to a fascist or communist. You all are too blinded by hatred of Conservatives to realize that Hitler would’ve been a Democrat.

    I and hopefully most Conservatives will never bow to a Government. God over government forever.

    I’m not missing the point. Are they being forced to go on the bus at gunpoint? The answer is no. They are able to decline the bus transportation.

    Personally, I wouldn't like the traffic, crowds or prices - which is why I don't live in a big city. But Miami has great restaurants/food, culture, music, etc. It also has some of the prettiest women in the world IMO. I think it's a very cool place to visit - again, aside from the stress of the traffic.

    And it's very diverse. You will not only hear Spanish but you will hear Russian, Italian, and all sorts of languages. That diversity is one of the best aspects to me. I wish I had more of that where I live. In my experience, many people in Miami understand English but it's not their first language so they may not want to engage but they're not all being rude to you. If you even try to say a couple words in Spanish, many will wind up speaking with you in English.

    To the extent you consider asylum/multi-culturalism an inherently partisan issue, it's worth noting that the Mayor of Miami is Republican and a very significant percentage of Hispanic voters in Miami - and around the State - support Trump and DeSantis.

    Everything single thing republicans are doing today is fascist to its core, and you’re too ignorant to recognize that. The only party trying to save the Republic and our democracy are the democrats. But you are too radicalized to realize that, mired in the Trump cult “like a cat eating a dog’s goo.”

    Do you have any awareness at all that the entire point of your post was to call for more government control over the buses, the bus drivers and the immigrant passengers?

    I don't debate that Miami has some of the prettiest women in the world. Some are no doubt fake, covered in makeup, plastic surgery and silicone. I think a lot of Miami is very fake and superficial but I have no doubt there are many women in Miami who are naturally beautiful.

    You say if I even try to say a couple words in Spanish they may end up speaking to me in English. But why should I have to? This is an English speaking country. If I learn even a few words of Spanish they win. If I go to Mexico City or a smaller city in Mexico are they going to speak English to me? If I go to Portugal are they going to speak English to me? Of course not and they shouldn't have to even if they know English because I would be on their turf. Why is America the only country where the citizens are not allowed to defend their own turf?

    Heck for a long time illegal immigrants came into this country and didn't even have to be vaccinated. Yet until recently if I, as an American, traveled out of the country and came back I would be required to be vaccinated and have a negative test result. The illegal immigrants in this country now have more rights than American citizens. Can you not see how screwed up that is?

    I don't hide anything. I'm an open book. I fear that the America I knew and grew up with is almost gone. As more and more Hispanics come into the country they will reshape the country into their image and we will become no different than Central and South America. And I'm sure many of our poor areas will come to resemble the favelas of Brazil. And they will vote Democrat and we will have a big government that will rule with an iron fist. Is that what you all really want? Because that's what you're voting for. Big government, big government, big government.

    I don't hate Hispanics despite what you all may believe. But I fear that they will overtake this country and push out any type of white culture. They are already doing that. I feel like a foreigner in my own country and that is wrong. Soon enough English will be the endangered language in this country. Now you understand why I don't want to give an inch. Why I don't want to learn even a few words of Spanish because if I do, I give them a win. Why learn to speak a few words of Spanish when many of them, who have lived here for years, won't even bother to learn a few words of English?

    Why is it always us who have to concede something? Why is it never their side who has to concede something? It's wrong and it simultaneously breaks my heart and pisses me off.

    Not more government control, making sure the bus companies and bus drivers live up to their agreements. Right now that is in doubt.
