Stupid shit in Medellin

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2907053]When you say handouts you make it seem like it is something in perpetuity. It is not. It is more akin to what they give ex-convicts when they are released from prison. My girl from Ecuador is a migrant. When they get processed EVERYTHING is taken from them. They even took the wallet she kept her passport in. Her passport, money, and ATM card were the only things she arrived with that she was allowed to keep.

Yes they gave her a hotel to stay in for 2 days until her flight. Yes they gave her a one-way plane ticket from Texas to San Diego. Yes they have her a shitty cell phone to replace the good one they took. (Not even 1 week in the country she went to T-mobile and bought a $99 cell phone that was 8 times better.) Yes they gave her $200 to replace her clothes that they took. And that was that. It is not like she can go back tomorrow and tell the US government that she needs money for food. After that they are on their own. Now if one of those sanctuary cities takes it upon themselves to do something beyond that then I do not know. That is not her case, because she stayed with her sister's brother in law a couple of days, then came to stay with me 10 days, then went to stay with her cousins in Chicago. Now she is going to Michigan to help build houses because work in Chicago has dried up. But no, there is nobody she can go to for any regular handouts.[/QUOTE]Chicago and NyC just handed out billions to illegals migrants. This is why Dems are losing the black vote. Chicago is giving 9 k rental assistance to migrants and NYC is giving 2000 $ debit cards. Whoever this girl is needs to pay attention and go get the $$.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2907190]Looks like Mr E is calling your bluff Flying JJ with real expert testimony and screen shots to back it up.

Also my post with the links to the articles finally came through so you can see I'm not just talking out of my ass like you do.

Care to site some sources Mr Flying Fucking JJ?

And separation of the children from the parents was a policy implemented during the first Trump administration. It was a policy that helped to deter illegal immigrants from making the journey to the US because they were afraid of what would happen when they got there.

If you look at the number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border between 2017 and 2021 it was alot less than the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border 2021 - 2024

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/11/09/whats-happening-at-the-u-s-mexico-border-in-7-charts/[/QUOTE]"Site some sources", or Cite some sources? I have no idea how to do the first.

You have by now figured out that the proof you "cited" has no connection to what you think is going on. Yes?

My sources are much simpler. They are literally sitting close enough that I could reach out and touch them. I've touched all 3 of them, although not all 3 took the same route to arrive at my home.

Mr. E isn't calling my bluff and the screen shots are of him conversing with the girl, not of any proof of airline tickets, or who provided those things to 1 person. Were they provided by the US Government? Texas Government? A non-profit group?

The "hotel" provided to my friends was a makeshift detention center, no showers, I assume a portapotty. It sounded unpleasant. No airline ticket, no free money. In fact, they had to provide proof of an airline ticket, which I bought, before they could buy bus tickets to the airport.

They didn't receive money to replace the things thrown away, although when I met them at the airport, the United Government of Me handed them warm coats and provided them warm blankets, pillows, pajamas, towels and toothbrushes, along with new socks and underwear. They've paid me back at least 4 times.

Anyways what most likely happened is that your "friend" lied to you so you would feel sorry and provide her with the coats, blankets, pillows, pijamas, etc.

She was just getting more papaya out of you even in the USA.

You're just another simp JJ might as well have "papaya" written on your forehead.

Is it possible that you two are both right?

You didn't realize "cite" and "site" are different words. It's common. "What most likely happened" is what we used to call a "WAG", a Wild Ass Guess. You have absolutely no idea what happened. To begin with, you failed to recognize the difference between "friend" and "friends", or to notice that "3" is different than "1. " "They", versus "her" or "she", just blatant statements which you completely missed.

Nounce is partially correct. I currently have 3 housekeepers. I've washed dishes once in almost 5 months. Zero laundry, zero cleaning, zero taking out the trash and almost zero cooking, are a few of the benefits. My sustenance cost (food, whether bought or prepared at home, necessary groceries, cleaning supplies, hygiene supplies, etc, has gone from about $900 per month to about $100 per month. Gas for the car is down from $250 per month to $50 per month. Plus they pay me $300 month for their phone bills and utilities. My entertainment expenses have gone up a little, since I enjoy taking everyone out a few times per month. Plus there are certain other benefits to having the company.

No lies involved. As I stated, all 3 didn't arrive by the same path. Why would 2 of them lie to me about needing plane tickets, if they already had free plane tickets? Why would the mother of 1 reimburse me for the tickets? Did she lie about the money she placed in my hand on my last short visit? I guess she was lying about the apartment she let me stay in free of charge, and the meals she bought or cooked for me.

Did my friends lie about the temperature being 26°F on the night they arrived? How did they get all the thermometers to lie as well?

These might be concepts unfamiliar to you, perhaps a failure by your parents. If someone will be a guest in my home, whether a Medellin hooker visiting my apartment, or friends living at my place while getting their lives in order, I provide a comfortable, safe environment. This is called "hospitality. ".

My friends, from Medellin, after traveling across Mexico, were arriving into frigid weather, with only the clothes on their backs. Between hospitality and being a decent human being, some assistance on my part was warranted. I could have gone to Goodwill and saved $200. Instead, I bought reasonably priced, new coats, clothes and pajamas, socks and underwear as well. I bought new toothbrushes and made sure they had the things necessary to be comfortable.

If by "simp" you mean that I treat others as human beings you are correct. Over the years, I've noticed the people who use that term are almost always incapable of interacting with women on a personal level. They are limited to prostitutes and often only the lowest classes of prostitutes. They can't handle a sexual situation where an actual conversation might be necessary.

Me? I can afford to buy a couple of $50 coats. I can carry on a conversation for months with a girl until she invites me into her bed. I can sit with a woman until 4 am talking, even when sex isn't on the menu or, if I prefer, I can change the menu. And when it's time to move on to another girl, I can kiss one goodbye thank her for the memories and walk away smiling.

I'll close with some debate / discussion / conversation tips.

1. Stick with things you know and understand. For example, "free airline tickets. " That was a stunt pulled off by the Governor of Texas, a Republican. It had nothing to do with Biden, the US government or the Democrats. It is not a blanket policy.

2. Avoid things you believe, unless that's a topic of conversation. What you believe has no value in any debate or discussion.

3. If you link something, read it first and keep reading until you fully grasp it. For example, the free hotel rooms. The City of New York has been receiving lots of immigrants. Thousands of people arriving with no place to live causes problems, particularly when children are involved. The city of New York chooses to spend some of their money to provide temporary housing. Once again, this has nothing to do with the US government, or Biden. Having dead, frozen children on the street is bad for business. It's more cost effective to utilize cheap, unused hotel rooms. The hotels benefit.

Sticking with number 3, I'll move to the free debit cards. Once again, this is a NYC program, not Biden, not the US government. Instead of providing free meals, which leafs to a lot of wasted food and money, the city has started issuing debit cards pre-loaded with up to $350, reloadable weekly. It's a cheaper, more effective way to feed those who aren't yet able to feed themselves.

That's enough.

During the time you have been instructing everyone on the format of the forum that you wish to view, you could have written a trip report.

Now before you get your panties in a knot, no I have not written a trip report lately. Why? Because I have not been to Medellin lately.

When you write a report. 01% as good as the report written by [B]YyzTravel[/B] then you can say something to me. Oh, and for you motherfuckers who think he is lying on his dick, he is not. I have partied with the man in multiple countries. He rolls exactly how he wrote his report. Gave it to you straight no chase. A edited version has been posted the the Reports of Distinction for FNG reference. Are you happy now? LOL!

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2906751]The reason to arrest illegal Venezuelan immigrants entering the US would not to be to ask the Venezuelan government for anything. It would be to deter more from coming.
[/QUOTE]Most people around the world don't want to become refugees or illegals in another country; they do it bcos of need. They would much prefer to stay in their country and live a fulfilling life with their own family and friends. But unfortunately that is not possible with the USA sanctioning countries in to oblivion and the West's persistent imperialist mentality. You reap what you sow.

To all of you Male "Karens" in here. Please do us all a favor and disappear. You know who you are. Your not wanted in Medellin either. Stay in your lane,in the states. That is all.

Some of us actually live in Medellin.

Perhaps you should study Google maps a little more before you venture out from mommy's basement.

As well, most of the South Asians, Middle Easterns and Africans in to Europe too. Don't you thikn bombing Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc has consequences? And all the despotic Sub_saharan leaders that they support bcos they allow Western companies to enter their countries to exploit the resources and people.

Migrants hate being migrants. They would much prefer to stay in their home country and prosper. Economic instability and economic imbalance are the main drivers of migration. When things get better in a home country, you see less migrants from that country. Trends in migration to the USA are a direct result of us doing great and their origin country doing bad (economically). Improve the economy in an origin country and watch migration from it decrease. I won't get into political instability, because that affects economic stability, so the end effect is the same.

It really just boils down to politics. The US does not want Nicolas Maduro to be the president of Venezuela. If he and his regime were to step aside and allow free and fair elections and peaceful transfer power to the next elected president, then the US would lift the sanctions and Venezuela could become more like Colombia. However Maduro refuses to step down and doesn't even respect his own country's constitution which limits him to one term.

I never talked to a Haitian that would not prefer to be able to live in their own country. But it was exactly as you said, political, economic instability led them to look for other opportunities outside of their own country. But in that sense I am a migrant also. Because I left my country of origin for the same reasons. Difference with me is that I don't want to go back. LOL!
