    I think that people deserve to find a better life free from horrific people, and if that’s the US then so be it. Maybe instead of the potentially harmful rhetoric we focus on treating people and bringing down the syphilis numbers without the stigma. Diseases do not define people, diseases are things we treat and heal.

      Okay, so as you have asserted that there are indeed some people in this world which it is okay to believe to be “horrific” (your word), and that it is okay to desire to find a better life free from these “horrific” (your word) people, does that mean that any group deserves to exclude any other group which is determined to be unwanted from their lives, or is this exclusively a propagandistic talking point which disguises a very specific determination of who it does and does not apply too behind a generalized statement intended to sound just and moral?

        When I say horrible people, I mean drug/sex traffickers buddy. People should not have to experience violence and anti human behaviors in this day and age. I understand I shouldn’t have used the language I used without meaning or context, so I apologize.

        I want to be clear I’m not really interested in engaging in the political polarization of the current world and would rather reach understanding between us.

          Funny enough that’s among the largest concerns involving the border issue. Sex trafficking specifically if you want to talk about STDs as well.

          I want to be clear I’m not really interested in engaging in the political polarization of the current world and would rather reach understanding between us.

          So why are you so hostile to people’s concerns about the safety of such an immense issue?

            Didn’t mean to come off hostile. Sorry about that not my goal :(. It’s just a sad issue all together, a legit humanitarian crisis.

            I’m hoping in the future the corruption of the lands people flee will be resolved, and we can be humane as possible in such a dire situation.
