Should illegal immigrants be sent “Only” to Sanctuary Cities?
by I believe in overlapping inpro-illegal immigration advocates are fighting president trump’s efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the united states.
trump wants immigrants to enter the usa legally and in a controlled manner so as not to tax the local economies of their resources that will burden the local law abiding citizens.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Remembrance Day
by barry intoday i met with my friends and attended remembrance day with the ahmadiyya muslims.
the ahmadiyya are not terrorists, they don't believe in killing those that leave their religion,they fly the australian flag and respecter laws.. there was seven of us in total including 1 atheist , three anglicans one a priest , one minister from my former church adventist, and of course two wives that had to sit up the back [just joking].. the ahmadiyya are persecuted in pakistan because they are not considered proper muslims many come to the west as refugees and i believe this is one group we can trust and live with as neighbours.
does anyone have an opinion or contact with this group please share..
