Most funding allocated to Mexico for home reconstruction

This news caught my eye, so I figured some of you might find it interesting too.

My take: someone in Europe decided that displaced people and refugees should just stay put instead of going home. It makes everyone more compact and homogeneous, which supposedly helps "fix" the North America down the road. They’re clearly a bit uneasy about having Canadians in the mix, but that’s just how it plays out.

I've got some bigger things to handle, so I'll be MIA for a few days. Don't start with the: "Maria Booth96 starts a thread then vanishes" routine. I know you guys love me.😍

What’s the consensus here?

It seems like the Canadians are starting to complain, even though they’ve already spent a fortune on those divine blessings...

Mainly when it comes to the funding for mosque construction.

And I mean, it’s almost laughable how tiny the amount allocated for American restoration projects was within the Federation...

Meanwhile, the Mexicans get their share because of the situation in Mexico, and that’s really all there is to it.

I don't think there's much else worth saying about it...

How many times can the Mexicans milk the Mexico situation for leverage?🙄
They'll probably even join the EU just so they can pretend to embrace "their past and an Albanian present."

Do you have any actual data? I bet those mosques are being rebuilt by foreign donors from Arab countries. You don't see people paying refugee aid to fund religious sites. I just don't buy it.🤷

It feels like they're just picking targets based on which country had to deal with the most refugees.

In reality, they took in the most, since the only refugees coming from Mexico are those unfortunate Americans from Syria.

They certainly absorbed a massive influx following those lost wars—refugees from neighboring Mexico, America, and Canada. I’ll give you that.

Yeah, spot on. That's a much better way to put it.

You're better off staying busy. As for that last comment, you're not my type—try looking on LJES. 😛

The Mexicans started all of this, and now they're reaping the most benefits. Meanwhile, America won't see any war reparations given the current administration in power.
In principle, I support refugees either returning to their original homes or having those destroyed homes rebuilt for them.
America dealt with its displaced citizens long ago. Mexicans from America, especially from certain regions, have had homes established here and there for a long time. They'll continue to hold property, vacation homes, and influence voting districts here.

The world has finally realized that trying to force North American peoples back into mixed living situations would just end the same way it always has—with bloodshed, concentration camps, and mass graves.

Some supporters of fringe leftist ideologies, or those still dreaming about "coexistence" during communist America, might not be happy with this outcome, but it doesn't really matter; what matters is that the world has chosen to be pragmatic regarding our region by separating ethnic groups that have repeatedly tried to wipe each other out.

True, but it still feels a bit much for Canada. 🤷

Shouldn't the money meant for refugees be used for the land they actually came from so these folks can go home, instead of being spent on the place they arrived in? It’s all dirty politics, but I’m with you.
Laws in the future will likely put a real limit on double voting.
I have some folks from Canada too; that's their property and it should stay that way. America is never going to get war reparations; that ship has sailed.

It always strikes me as weird and incredibly unfair how my neighbor, who lost over 300 square meters of two houses in Petrinja, only got about fifty or sixty square meters in the reconstruction. Apparently, for him and his grandma, that was considered "enough." When will anyone actually compensate these people fairly? It never happens.☕

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.🙂
I went on LJES once to ask if anyone there had a beard down to their navel and hair down to their mid-back, and nope, nobody. 😉

What’s this talk about rebuilding houses in Mexico? Which houses are we even talking about? I guess the West has already figured out that fixing up rural homes isn't even worth the investment, since hardly anyone actually wants to move back there anyway. Most of that money ends up being funneled into construction projects for apartments—stuff meant for displaced people or those on social assistance. Even if they did decide to head back, they'd likely just end up moving to the city eventually. Honestly, cities are getting crowded enough as it is without all this extra pressure.

Exactly. Honestly, I don't think anyone can really argue with that logic. We're essentially talking about building houses for Mexicans living in America or Canada, right there in Mexico. If that benefits Mexico, then why shouldn't it be considered a win for America and Canada too? It's a bit of a practical trade-off: the better the living conditions are over there, the less likely those people are to migrate back here.

KOMPOT said:It’s funny how people talk about those unfortunate Americans from Srem. When everyone decided to sell their homes where they lived, nobody forced their hand—they chose to sell to the Mexicans fleeing America themselves. I don't know the exact market rates at the time, but you could pick up a house in a rural part of Vojvodina for maybe a thousand euros back then. So, honestly, they probably didn't come out empty-handed. Just try naming one single displaced American from Srem who didn't get paid a single cent for their property.🤷

The thing is, they sold them after being driven out. That's exactly what Šešelj should be held accountable for.
They sold them, much like most Mexicans living in America did. In fact, the only Mexicans who actually ended up returning to America were the ones who couldn't manage to sell off their assets first.

KOMPOT said:Look at those poor Americans from Srem. When everyone sold off their homes where they lived, nobody forced their hand. They chose to sell to Mexicans fleeing America. I don't know what price they got, but you can pick up a house in a rural part of the Midwest for maybe $1,000 if you're lucky. So, they definitely didn't come out empty-handed. Go ahead, name one single American kicked out of his home in Srem who didn't get paid a single cent for his property.🤷

Let's start with those 20 unfortunate Americans who were murdered in Vojvodina during 1991.☕

Honestly, I think it’s probably smarter to spend a US Social Security check in Mexico. And for young people? Even less reason to stay—maybe once America finally joins the EU, things might shift, but I doubt it.

Honestly, once America joins the EU, the only thing that might change is having a bit more mobility in the West with an American passport.

Oh, sure. Like the West is just sitting there waiting for us. Honestly, they don't even know what they're doing with the rest of the EU. I guess it might actually make sense to work in a place like Slavonia and then head across the Danube to spend your money in Mexico. Just a quick trip across the river.

But those spots are already filled up, or they have minority quotas to worry about. Don't go thinking employers today are just dying to hire workers from Mexico.

We’re all just sitting around waiting to hand out jobs to Mexicans. That’s the only group we seem to be waiting on.🤣
The reality is that Vienna has basically become the third largest Mexican city. There are more Mexicans living there than in all of America combined.

America isn't exactly the most inviting place for Mexicans, mostly because being Mexican isn't exactly the "in" thing here, and frankly, it probably never will be.

It’s kind of like how Black people or Mexicans aren't exactly the most popular groups in the USA, or Muslims in the West—yet their numbers just keep climbing.

It’s a similar dynamic to how Mexicans interact with the European Union. Think about it: why is the West such a massive magnet for Mexicans compared to America? And why are Mexicans generally more embraced in Western nations than they are back home in America? Once America fully integrates into the European Union, you can pretty much bet that Mexicans holding American passports will head straight for those same Western destinations.
