Universities send students to the U.S.-Mexico border to help 'raise consciousness'
« on: October 24, 2018, 04:08:15 pm »
Anyone doubt that this caravan wasn't orchestrated by the left now?  They're sending our college kids to the border for a learning experience ... IOW ... eye witness the poverty, the pleads for help and BTW ... be sure to gather to DEMAND that Trump grants them asylum.

Gee ... here I advocated for going to the border and meet this people to tell them they weren't welcome ... I was accused of panicking.  I was also told by another member that this is the USA and we won't be another Europe because we process people differently.

Really??  I declare b.s. x2!!!

Universities send students to the U.S.-Mexico border to help 'raise consciousness'

As thousands of migrants approach the U.S.-Mexico border, universities across the nation are planning trips to the Southern border for a hands-on educational experience.

Marquette University in Wisconsin is sending students this spring break to a border town in Texas to “raise consciousness about the issues facing the border such as immigration, economic development, human rights, and social justice.”

The Catholic college's Campus Ministry and Office for Intercultural Engagement sponsors the trip. Students will visit U.S. Border Patrol, listen to the stories of migrants and refugees, visit a detention center, meet human rights activists, and observe immigration court cases.

Given that the city on the other side of the border is “one of the most violent cities in the region,” the students do not travel into Mexico at any point during the experience.

However, other trips require a passport.

The School of Theology at Boston University has an “Arizona/Mexico Border Travel Seminar” for students during winter break “to provide an integrated experience and space for various perspectives on the past and current issues of immigration and the creation of the border.”............

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

It's becoming a leftists dream.  They go to the border and come back to report how terrible the conditions were for these people, how many children and women are suffering, how many men escaped abuse or escaped death in their countries.

Camp of the Saints. 

They are all in for what that novel describes as the end game for Western Civilization.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

The thing is those stories aren't untrue a lot of times. The problem is economically ignorant college kids don't understand that Uncle Sam can't take care of everybody south of our border. We live in the real world, not a fairy tale, and in the real world tough decisions need to be made when there are limited options. It's harsh, but that's life.

We shall see.  It could very well be game over very soon.

I anticipated this and more as reason to not reveal where troops would be deployed.

When my daughter attended college ... I heard the usual  liberal rhetoric ... they just want a better life and need jobs. Then she started working in the real world ... I don't hear that anymore.

Not too hard to figure out ... TX/Mex, AZ/Mex, or CA/Mex.   Hopefully some of the 1,200 unarmed guards will tell them to take a hike and turn around.

Could be a redo of '60s tactics. On the one hand is the harmless looking young woman placing flowers in the muzzles of soldiers' rifles and on the other the bad boys rushing their line.

It's a bit disconcerting to see how far the Jesuit Universities have drifted to the Left.

Marquette remains an excellent school (especially their Law and Dental schools) but their drift started 20 years ago when they replaced "Warriors" with "Golden Eagles."   

It's just become worse over the years, and especially since the guy from UWM took the reins.
