Wall would fight drug overdose deaths
“Saw the ‘Real Crises’ rant about 700,000 drug overdose deaths.
“Statistically speaking 90 percent of illegal drugs in America come from Mexico, therefore, 630,000 of those overdose drugs likely came from Mexico and you can’t see the link between no wall and the influx of drugs into this country? Are you blind?”
Gun control won’t help reduce firearms deaths
“Saw the Real Crises Rant: ‘1.53 million fire arm related deaths (1968 – 2015).’
“On average, 60 percent of those were suicides. Something like 60 percent of those remaining were by convicted felons who could not legally possess a gun anyway, but still did.
“Removing guns from law abiding citizens doesn’t reduce the number of guns used by NON-law abiding citizens.”
Why not use intermodal facility as welcome center?
“The intermodal facility was a big waste of money and now the city is buying another building. Why not use the intermodal building as a welcome center and put the other money to good use?
“I’ll certainly remember this at voting time.”
‘Tens of thousands’ of deaths? Ridiculous
“That line about illegals killing ‘tens of thousands’ here is one of the most drama ridden, ridiculous things I’ve ever read on RR and that’s saying something given the number of cranks and conspiracy nuts who post here.”
Hard to argue with Trump’s success
“It’s easy to call Trump’s associates slimy, but it’s hard to argue with his economic success. You may dislike Trump or his abrasive nature, or maybe you disagree with how he does things, but the recent economic turnaround is phenomenal.
“Disgruntled workers often hate their bosses and call them names, but it all boils down to one word … envy.”
