RE: d — Hive

I have just read your original post an the reply to which you refer.

I'm British and European (who strongly supports Brexit) and I echo some of what @canusapatriots is trying to draw your attention to.

I agree with you that these countries are obscenely violent and the people are ultimately responsible for their actions. But these countries are also extremely impoverished, not least for the neocolonial activities of the U.S and Europeans and their global corporations. And if there's one proven antecedent for crime it's poverty. And that poverty is a result of corporate exploitation.

These people are fleeing that violence and poverty. You are right that amongst them will be many criminals intending to capitalise on the exodus. Just as those fleeing Syria will have terrorists in their midst. But most won't be.

Most will be normal families trying to escape the terrible conditions within their countries. You are right that such huge migration flows threaten the stability of the U.S but I believe blaming the poor for this is the wrong way to go about making your point.

European and U.S history demonstrates that the real problem are the bankers and corporate 'elites' who are farming all of us, including these poor wretches and you and I. While we bicker over our supposed divisions they are getting on with the business of making money off our backs.

Do you think they give a shit about this caravan? Of course not. It won't effect them, only poor, hard working Americans. They profit from the racial, cultural and social divisions because it keeps us all at each others throats while they continue to work us into the ground for their own enrichment.

They operate a system of divide and rule and, with the greatest respect, may I suggest you are inadvertently playing into that agenda. I appreciate your honesty and do empathise with much of what you say but you are directing your anger in the wrong direction in my opinion. For what it's worth.
