when danger knocks.
Most of us were immigrants once.
World Refugee Day
In a world where violence forces thousands of families to flee for their lives each day, the time is now to show that the global public stands with refugees. On World Refugee Day, held every year on June 20th, the United Nations commemorates the strength, courage and perseverance of millions of refugees. This year, World Refugee Day also marks a key moment for the public to show support for families forced to flee and to stand for their right to stay together as a family unit.

Thank you. And, we need to push back on these countries. If they are going to cause this kind of misery, then, maybe they need to face the world court while a cooperative of nations comes in and stabilizes their country so their citizens do not have to run for their lives and lose everything they ever had, worked or hoped for. But, we make deals with them, sell them weapons, turn a blind eye to human rights violations and have meetings, talks, laws, special days but continue to punish the victims and act like we don’t know the cause.

I don’t know. Who lived in the western United States first? Most of the west coast are people who forced our the natives and stole the land. My grandfather was born on the U.S soil and he fought for the USA in WW2. Kind white Captain in the Army. Helped him become a citizen. My concern is life. Two years ago. Immigrants had no-place to go. Die at sea. All life had value. Better a helping hand than a fist. I live on my Ojibwa land, now called Macomb township. Immigrants came and took the land. Who is the immigrant? A hard topic. I saw the dead cities in Europe, Asia and Africa. Sometimes, need kindness. We must assist, not push way.

Kindness yes, but we give more than we have. Poland wants a permanent military base to protect them from Russia, South Korea and Japan needs us to fend off North Korea and China. During this and our endless Middle East wars and rebuilding, we have our own homeless that are not taken care of, but the temporary housing we have in Texas right now for those people, is better than our government gave the hurricane victims we’ve had the past 10 or more years. Central and South America wants us to protect them now, while we have less and less tax payers to account for it.
If you are Native American, you should be tired of people using you for everything they can get out of you – God love and protect you.
How is this going to get paid back? The National debt in real time…

Easy answer. USA spend more money on Military than the next forty nations combine. Time to allow the other countries to fight their own battles. You are right. 21 trillion in debt. Don’t forget Flint, Michigan and Puerto Rico. Need to hire a accounting specialist to fix the USA. Hard topic my friend. No real answers. Here in the USA. We need to be fixed first. Time to bring home soldiers home and learn. USA can’t save the world. The world need to fix herself. USA create this mess. Attacked Iraq and since these days. We have fell down.
