Reply to comment by g_rich in NH governor budgets close to $1.5M in funding for northern border safety by sdlover420

It's not people "leaving Canada" that's the concern, it's people passing through Canada to get into the US

That an awful big stretch, I can guarantee that number is almost nonexistent and that any undocumented individuals in NH either came through the southern boarder or more likely simply overstayed their visa.

This is nothing more than your governor wasting taxpayer money to pander to the right and appear tough on immigration. Wake up and see it for what it really is.

Ok, but I'm just telling you the rational, not trying to get you to believe me. Believe whatever you want

g_rich t1_jbodiyx wrote

I understand the rationale, I'm just saying that it's not rational; your governor is spending over a million dollars of taxpayer money on an issue that simply does not exist.

NHGuy t1_jboiwe0 wrote

Where are you? And how do you know it doesn't exist? What evidence do you have?

What evidence do YOU have that warrants the spend. Burden of proof is on those saying this is an issue

I am not defending it, I just explained the rationale behind it which, for some reason, in your mind you think I'm defending it. Now go away

asphynctersayswhat t1_jbp5t2m wrote

Explaining the reasons is another way of saying you’re defending it, because you’re not giving the real reason, which is culture war rhetoric, our 58 Mile border is fine. We have other needs for that cash.

Now go away

I’m explicitly not even responding to your comments, so what’s the problem? Yeah, I’m pressing the sequence of keys, and then hitting send, but it’s not a response cuz I say it’s not.

Bruh, Canada has no other borders with any country, and I highly doubt Russians would cross Siberia and take a trek across the North Pole to pass through Canada, and then continue down to the USA

Ignore them, it's the same type of idiot who said there was no border crisis then screeched in horror when Texas sent a fraction of the stream to the states that said they were sanctuaries lmao

NHGuy t1_jbo9n3m wrote

Oh, I'm aware of what they are getting at

It's both amusing and frustrating when people try to peg down your position on a topic based on a single statement.

I wasn't expressing my opinion on the topic, to be completely clear

asphynctersayswhat t1_jbomz7s wrote

I think you miss the point. Show me a reason to spend this money. Show me that people are using Canada as a gateway, and dialing in on the smallest state border, in a state full of armed mountain folk. No. IF some freeloader made it to Canada, they’re better off there than here. And if they are bad actors, they’re safer crossing on the other coast. This is pissing our money away for optics. You want to refute that? Get the metrics on illegal crossings in NH. cuz I’ve seen nothing

I didn't miss the point, I'm not defending it - now fuck off

Snowflake lol. Just accept you are wrong. I know maga people struggle with that but it’s essential to grow.

You're a fucking idiot - I'm about 180° from those jackasses as you could get. Stop assuming

It’s too funny that you chose to engage in the conversation by commenting and then get annoyed when people respond to your comments.

NHGuy t1_jbp9kf6 wrote

What's funny, as in WTF funny, are people who read a single sentence and then run away with it thinking they know all about the person who made the statement. That's asinine. I have zero interest in arguing with those people and somehow, you also fail to understand that as well

You might as well have cited the onion. Use legitimate news sources, not right wing propagandists

"Apprehensions in the area where the family was found, known as the Swanton Sector, which includes sections of Vermont, New York and New Hampshire, have increased to 1,146 from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2022, from just 136 the year prior. Across the northern border, crossings from Canada into the U.S. have increased from 16,000 to 42,000 over the same time period, according to CBP data. "
