Wednesday, January 22, 2025

President Donald Trump is preparing to send around 10,000 troops to the southern border, and Border Patrol agents have been directed to deny entry to asylum seekers because they pass through countries where communicable diseases are present, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection briefing document obtained by The Washington Post.

Trumpism is the worst communicable disease out there.

This has majority support.

So did Roe V Wade.

You only care about majority support when it aligns precisely with your ideology.

This has majority support.

Cutting off asylum?

No. That doesn't have majority support.

What had support was reducing the number of undocumented immigrants entering the nation.

People are against the Undocumented immigrants until their food prices either skyrockets or people start running out of food to buy them they'll scream bloody murder. Watch and see.

#10, the same argument applies to those who complain about those employ/exploit undocumented migrants. But go on, keep making tone-deaf statements like Kelly Osborne's "if you kick out the Latinos, who will clean your toilets?" comment.

It's interesting to see how protective of a good flow of slave labor the left is.

Slavery is illegal in America. Except maybe in prisons.

What you are referring to in your attempted snark is "wage slave labor".

And that's pretty funny coming from another wage slave laborer.
