I told her when I say I will do something, I will do it.
There's no need in reminding me about it every six months.

Let's try this one last time. You said children were crossing the border (to the U.S.) because of Mexican
gangs and drug dealers. The children are mostly from Central America (e.g., Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua). They have journeyed from their homes and through Mexico northward to the U.S. border.
You said most of the children crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. are coming from Central America. I explained why there has been an increase in children coming in (often alone) from Mexico, but you haven't yet explained why children are coming here from Central America. They can't all be from Central America, so what percentage of children crossing the border do you figure are coming in from Mexico? And why do you believe most are coming from Central America?

Your response to an inherent weakness in a democracy was purely reactionary. You were offended by this without explaining why you find it offensive. This is what I meant by knee jerk reaction. Your responses seem to be purely emotional, and if you can't (or won't) explain why you find this so offensive then that's all it is... you being offended.
You are entitled to your emotions and entitled to be offended, but there's not much anyone can say when you can't (or won't) back up claims with anything other than how it makes you feel.
