Am I right about that? I want people that love America to come to this country. If you are an islamic terrorist I don't think you should come here! If you want to change our country I don't want you to come here! If you want to assimilate and become an AMERICAN then you should be able to come here LEGALLY! A country can only handle a limited number of immigrants that want to assimilate. No country in the world can handle a flood gate of the worst, poorest and most uneducated riff raff that can only survive on hand outs from the existing citizens. NO ILLEGALS! Cap on legal immigration. Personally I think about 175 legal immigrants is enough. There are only so many apples we need to be picked by immigrants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 2,702 Posted February 25 "He was angry". https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/man-who-killed-dutch-soldier-to-learn-sentence/ Man who killed Dutch soldier sentenced to 105 years INDIANAPOLIS – A man convicted of killing a Dutch soldier in downtown Indianapolis learned his punishment Monday. Last month, a jury found Shamar Duncan guilty of several charges, including murder and attempted murder, in the 2022 shooting of Simmie Poetsema. Poetsema was a Dutch special forces soldier who died after being shot in the head in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 2022. Two of his colleagues were injured. Duncan was sentenced to 105 years. The sentence included 60 years for murder, 35 for attempted murder and 10 for aggravated battery. The judge ordered the time to be served consecutively. The judge said aggravating factors–including the fact Duncan fired into a crowded street “because he was angry”–outweighed mitigating factors such as Duncan’s age and his limited criminal history.

From a Google search: Pride parades are held to celebrate the achievements and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, commemorate the Stonewall Uprising, and raise awareness about the ongoing fight for equality by openly expressing pride in their identities, while also serving as a platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and combat societal stigma against them; essentially, it's a public celebration of who they are and a call for continued acceptance and inclusion.
