    Jon Stewart’s speech at Congress for healthcare for 9/11 workers
    I know some people don’t like him but I’m not sure how this can’t be appreciated. Very moving speech to Congress fighting for healthcare for first responders of 9/11. A lot of us fight over who the President is and what he does but I’ve always thought the entire Congress is the real issue, both sides. We elect them to come to work and they don’t have to and situations like this fall through the cracks. If someone could post up the videos that would be much appreciated.

        It’s at least good to see that you see that. I was worried this would turn into a fighting thread when really I just wanted people to see a passioned speech about a good cause

              Designated Survivor was a good show that should have been reality TV!

                  What do you want Congress to do about it?

                  They have to shell out tens of millions for illegal aliens' welfare, health insurance, food, travel, etc.

                  They don't feel like keeping anyone out so there's only so much to go around.

                      I want Congress to fix our broken immigration laws, not turn their backs on it. Democrats were once firm supporters of border security.. Opposite today just because Trump campaigned on it and they don't want to see Trunp get a win.. ... Guess what they are pouring in now because our economy is so strong!!!

                      Obama deported everyone during his Presidency because he knew illegal immigrants take our low income labor jobs that maybe our Teen could work.. You are American and raise a kid today good luck having your kid find a job in their teens in a major sanctuary city. That's just for starters.. Our economy will get murdered when millions of illegals pour in illegally year after year..

                      Wall won't fix it, Mexico won't fix it even with tariffs but it will slow it down, only Congress can fix it as a united group. It's a shame America looks out for illegals now more then our own homeless American citizens.. I'll never understand that!!!


                      THAT'S KEEPING IT REAL... I live in LA and no one speaks English anymore in the inner city..

                          He did.

                          But its being politicized.

                            Jibby is a little outta touch with melenials.
                            They don't wanna work.
                            Especially not in agricultural fields or ranches.
                            They don't want to be maids or labourers.
                            To suggest illegals are taking away jobs that teens could otherwise have is misguided & misleading.
                            Jobs are disappearing primarily because of automation. That's why you better get on board with socialism.
                            Yang has it figured out. UBIs
                            My country and virtually every other civilized country have sound border policies & our economies arent getting murdered.
                            If you want to reduce the influx of migrants into your country, tell your President to stop marrying them
                            The reason you don't understand whyv the government takes from vets to give to terrorists is because it doesn't exist. Just in your paranoid mind.

                            I seriously doubt you make yearly donations to the veterans funds so why are you requiring it from your government?

                            You post like you are personally affected by immigration on a daily basis when we all know you aren't. Don't you live in Malibu or Calabasis or something?

                                  So you disagree with him? You don’t believe Congress should fund their healthcare?

                                  Are the two not separate issues independent of each other?

                                    I'm in Northern Santa Monica near Malibu and neighboring Brentwood and Beverly Hills..

                                    Malibu isn't affected because it's on the coast and is a hard drive to get there. Santa Monica is seeing a higher crime rate now where I live which is a very rich community.. I got broken into last year at night time and almost shot a Mexican dude that busted thru a window in my house.. He's lucky he ran and jumped right out the busted window he broke into..

                                    I had to beef up the security after that, got motion sensor flood lights on each side of my house, gated now and even put up BEWARE OF DOG signs up.. Never had to do that before.. My city community pays for private Security companies to patrol our blocks 24/7.. I LOVE THAT NOW!!!

                                    Trust me illegal immigration effects everyone.. Legal immigration does not.. Look at Europe for example, a million Muslim refugees poured in almost over night and changed the demographics.. Now European Countries are on high alert for extreme Muslim terrorism. That was never the case years ago..

                                    Can't let millions of poor uneducated people into your COUNTRY all at once.. Will have serious consequences no matter what the young Liberals think..

                                    AGAIN THAT'S KEEPING IT REAL.. Open your borders and you are asking for BIG TROUBLE and in a hurry if left unchecked..

                                      Every high quality country is ethnically homogenous with NO diversity.

                                      Finland, Japan, Israel, Switzerland, Norway.

                                      White nations are ruined by allowing non-white immigration, even if legal.

                                      Paris and London are full of africans and muslims and are very dangerous now.

                                          What I liked about Stewart's testimony was that he did not make it political. He did not attack the president. He called both parties lazy and inadequate. He took the entire Congress to task and did not make it partisan. He was genuine. I don't like his politics much, but this testimony was excellent, and I hope it succeeds for these responders who deserve our country's support.

                                            White nations are ruined by allowing non-white immigration, even if legal.

                                            Paris and London are full of africans and muslims and are very dangerous now.
                                            Poor Mexicans and South Americans are getting really bad coming in with mass numbers, desperate young non ENGLISH speaking men turn to cartels and or crime to make a buck to survive when all else fails. MS13 is a good example of that...

                                            Gotta think you come into America with a few pesos in your pocket and can't speak the language what are you gonna do if you can't find immediate work? Gangs, crime and drug smuggling next option.. See those young hot white women daily and even rape and kill could happen down the road cause you can't get that...

                                            I don't like illegal immigration for these very reasons.. Legal immigration based on merit is the way to go to keep any Country safe!!!

                                            Any reasonable thinking Countryman will agree with Trump on this especially if you have kids and are concerned for the future!!!!

                                              Yes, only 10 episodes for Season 3 so I was able to binge over 2 days. I thought entertainment level was high although some realistic level was meh.

                                                  You donkeys need to learn what net migration rate is before you post your crazy made up bullshit.

                                                    You can't complain about Americans not getting healthcare when you support giving it away to tens of millions of people who are here illegally because it costs so much damn money

                                                    His post NEVER says they shouldn't be taken care of

                                                    Have someone with more smarts than you, like a 2nd grader, explain it to you

                                                      It's not hard to understand.

                                                      Do all libs around here just play dumb or are they really completely brain dead?
