I was eating at a restaurant and they had Faux news on (I know it sucks and hate that we have to see that garbage)

They were discussing the border and they claim that over 1.5 million people are trying to cross into the US from 150 plus other countries. Knowing how they can be so full of shit hard to imagine that being true.

But it did get me wondering there is a lot of people trying to cross and the ariel shots I seen If true we are talking about thousands trying to flee into the states.

Instead of trying to stop them from crossing why are we not addressing the cause? How come we aren't maybe trying to see if we can solve the problem that causing them from running away from their homes?

I am sure America is probably responsible for some of that turmoil so why we not discussing that and fixing our mess instead of trying pass bills closing our boarders?

Also on a side note sick of all the fucking mega fucks and racist rednecks throwing fits about the boarder. Unless your native American we all fucking immigrants. Especially all the caucuses.

Just why are we allowing this to cause us to almost on the brink of a civil war. Bad enough that we locking these people in cages. That something the Biden administration should have ended on day one of his administration.

So what could we be doing to fix this problem?

What you call "pedantry" I call "minimal command of a language to enable proper communication". If I can handle it in a language that's not mine, so can you.

You may not care about communicating properly. In that case, feel free to block me.

I tend to give people a long leash on writing skills as long as I understand the message. Who knows, maybe the sender suffers from severe dyslexia?

Yeah, my please was only because the wrong version rubbed me the wrong way for some reason, but nothing against the OP (I acknowledge that I failed to convey that).

Sorry dude, “boreder” fell flat, huh? Trying to make a word pun and clearly didn’t succeed
