It’s not really difficult because being nice doesn’t cost anything, unless the person you’re being nice to wants to take advantage of you. I don’t believe that happens very often, but maybe it’s because I don’t look and act like a mark?On the internet we have discussions that don’t regularly happen FTF, unless you know that person really well. We feel comfortable opening up from behind a faceless screen, just like people will say what they feel about other drivers in the safety of their own car. The price for that comfort is being misconstrued.I believe you assumed I lacked empathy or heart when I made my first post in this thread. You reacted viscerally to my mention of politics. Yet you know from past interactions that I’m not really that way. In fact I felt badly for the victims and everyone who had to process that scene. But politics is a precursor to that tragedy and I have no empathy for anyone pushing that brand of politics, Biden included. Sadly, the very victims of this tragedy were being exploited by people who profit from those same policies. That Biden sticker would be on the Expedition driven by the coyote, who now has 3-4 times as many people to profit off of, not the illegal immigrants he packed in there like sardines.It’s not always “Immigrants Bad!” up in here. Not every American who’s destitute or homeless wants to go live in a crowded shack doing seasonal agricultural work for minimum wage. We need those migrant workers, who benefit from the mutually beneficial arrangement. What none of us need are cartels profiting off it now that illicit marijuana isn’t profitable anymore. We don’t need 26 illegal immigrants dangerously packed into an unsafe vehicle, trying to outpace the Border Patrol on OUR roadways. That could’ve just as easily been a family in a sedan they ran into as it was a gravel truck.We can also tolerate more immigrants on permanent work visas that aren’t H-1B status. But it needs to be a tiered system working towards permanent resident or citizenship. But none of that can happen until we control our own borders. That was promised 35 years ago and Democrats have reneged on that promise for 35 years. This is nothing new in my line of thinking as I’ve stated it several times in other threads before.You can’t separate politics from incidents like these, because politics creates the conditions for these incidents to occur. FWIW, I don’t want you to be absorbed into the hive mind, just don’t be quite so accusatory in your lines of questioning. And would it kill you to state what you think and why you think it once in a while? When you evade answering questions after asking them yourself, it makes you sound like a Democrat politician. <img src="/images/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
