The big thing the Canadians do is come here to work illegally or buy products to avoid the insane Canadian tax system. This is a great change and we may finally be able to deport Zed back to Canada as a result.

Most Canadians are pasty white. It is not about skin color, it is about them being ungrateful --------. They are like the Mexicans which flee their -------- country to come to the US and then do nothing but complain about the US. Zed is a perfect example.

@#7 ... It is not about skin color, it is about them being ungrateful --------. ...

In my view, it is about skin color.

The undocumented immigrants come here looking for a better life.

Companies actively hire them because of two things...

1) they work for lower wages than Americans citizens are willing to work for.

2) they work for lower benefits that Americans citizens are entitled to.

For example of (1), why do companies, e.g., Iowan meat packing plants, give the jobs to undocumented immigrants instead of American citizens? Those immigrants are not taking the jobs from Americans, companies are giving the jobs to the undocumented immigrants instead of Americans.

Then there's (2)... the undocumented immigrants tend not to complain about unsafe working conditions because, well, they are undocumented and cannot start a legal battle about working conditions.


So, ungrateful --------?

Nah.

They seem to be very grateful for being in the US. To the point of risking their own working safety.


What else yer current alias got?

Just to recap:
1.) You say it is about skin color
2.) I say it is not about skin color (Canadians are white)
3.) You say that Americans are also white and Trump wants to disappear than

So, the point? You just debunked your own talking point -------. It is called basic logic.

I agreed that most Canadians are white.


Now, moving on past that point.

... You say that Americans are also white and Trump wants to disappear them ...

I did not say that Pres Trump wants to disappear Americans by their skin color.

Indeed, I was quite specific in my earlier comment on a different thread.

drudge.com

... Yeah, Pres trump first said that he would deport the violent undocumented immigrants.

But that seemed to be just a spin he put on his plans to gain wider approval for what he wanted to do.

Now, Pres Trump seems to be placing a similar spin on his plan to deport American citizens to El Salvador.

So then, that begs the question .... which American citizens does Pres Trump really plan to deport to El Salvador?

He has already called the press the enemy of the state, ditto for Democrats ...


Thanks, for trying to keep up with my comments on various threads here.

But, do try harder.

I will give it the old college try one me time:

"will the Trump admin then send them to El Salvador if he does not like their skin color?

I respond by saying Canadians are pasty white and Trump wants to deport them - thereby disagreeing with your post by stating it is not about skin color.

Then you post this:
"Ditto for Americans.

#11 | Posted by LampLighter"

This post - by you - argues that Americans are white and still trump wants to disappear them - thus, you agree that it is not about skin color as you originally posted.

This is just simple logic. It does not need to take your posts from other threads - it is just what you wrote here. Try harder to write comments that are internally consistent.

Failing to teach people how to think logically and make a coherent argument is a huge failing of the US public school system. Then again, I think that may have been the intent or the Democrat party would disappear - or be forced to make logical arguments.

Oh, that ship has sailed long ago. imo, he is a racist.

Now, going to the part of your current trolling alias' comment about how Pres trump applies that apparent bias ...

... using skin color to deport people? ...

For disappearing undocumented immigrants without due process?

Yes.

How many of those Pres Trump has sent to the El Salvador prison have been accused of crimes that warrant that punishment?

The Constitution warns against cruel and unusual punishment.


And for disappearing Americans he has called "enemies?"

No. Not a racial bias, but a political bias.

Any other questions?

Also white Canadians. So, he is a racist that also hates white people? It just happens that 99% of the illegal El Salvadorians in the US are brown. They are not targets because they are brown, they are targeted because that are illegals from El Salvador.

"How many of those Pres Trump has sent to the El Salvador prison have been accused of crimes that warrant that punishment?"

100% of them.

"The Constitution warns against cruel and unusual punishment."

They aren't our citizens. Us keeping them in the US violates the sovereignty of El Salvador.

"Not a racial bias, but a political bias."

So he is back to not being a racist?

"Any other questions?"

They came here without proper visas or authorizations and they were sent back out of the country. If they want to further litigate the issue, they are free to do so from El Salvador. Given they are not US citizens, they don't have standing.

Yeah, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that due process applies for that "sent back out of the country."

Or is your current trolling alias just saying that Pres Trump can disappear, to an El Salvador prison, anyone he wants to disappear, without due process?

That's what this issue seems to be distilling towards, for both Americans and undocumented immigrants.

People from Canada could come to America and not register and stay for as long as they wanted?

But.

If people come from Mexico into the United States that's illegal? With prison time and families torn apart and the unnecessary deaths every year?

It's almost as if has nothing to do with anything other that xenophobes are fkkking racists.

Also. The United States did a fantastic job of fkkking up all the countries to the south of our border. Contributing to why people leave their countries and head here.

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists
Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

[Chorus]
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

[Verse 2]
Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain?
Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent

[Chorus]
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

Under AEA there is no standing in front of the Judicial Branch. Yet this guy has been in front of the Judicial branch and was given a deportation order.

How much due process is needed? I mean when in your view can the US deport an individual?

But anyway...

Provided always, and be it further enacted, that if any alien so ordered to depart shall prove to the satisfaction of the President, by evidence to be taken before such person or persons as the President shall direct, who are for that purpose hereby authorized to administer oaths, that no injury or danger to the United States will arise from suffering such alien to reside therein, the President may grant a license to such alien to remain within the United States for such time as he shall judge proper, and at such place as he may designate.

This is the problem with being associated with a Cartel which has been designated as a Terrorist organization. You don't need to be "convicted" (but this gentleman was) you can just be an Accountant. And the AEA would apply.

From the article you cite ...

... In the late nineteenth century, coffee exportation became a vital source of income for El Salvador, comprising of 95% of the country's income. The coffee revenue, however, was only divided among 2% of the population creating stark wealth inequality.

In 1932, the Central American Socialist Party was formed and lead to a peasant uprising. The Salvadorian government suppressed this uprising in what became known as La Matanza, the massacre, in which the military murdered between 10,000-40,000 people.

This uprising gave the Salvadorian military cause to take control of the government. As a result of the 1973 oil crisis and rising food prices, land reforms were attempted to redistribute farmland to the peasant population. These reforms failed because of opposition from the elite and malcontent with the government was reinforced more deeply among the populace. ...


Yeah, El Salvador has an interesting past.

But, also look at how Pres Bukele has been able to bring the Country back under the control of Law and Order.


Maybe, that is why Pres Trump seems to admire Pres Bukele so much?

To the point of an Oval Office visit that was so different than the Oval Office visit of Pres Zelenzkyy.

Stop with the BS and lying it's just disgusting and stupid.

No he cannot do anything about his current situation. He is a prisoner with no rights to do anything.

We don't need to kidnap or "smuggle" him (what an absurd thing for a dictator to say) or do any other stupid scenario you farging idiots can dream up.

The two dictators have decided they will not send him back. And.

They could just as easily decide to send him back. If they wanted to. And America could have a plane ready to return him in. If they wanted to.

Now let's see what the Supreme Court says about our dictator and his clear refusal to follow courts order and the law.

Imprison the poor who ended up in generational gangs because of no opportunities. Income inequality and land ownership inequities led to the insurgencies in Latin American countries (e.g. El Salvador, Colombia, and Peru). These Monroe Doctrine satrapies want enough docile labor to farm the plantations cheaply, but they have too many poor (and angry) people. Introduce death squads and a vicious cycle has begun.

No, he got rid of the 5% that were terrorizing the 95% and making the country a living hell. He did it by actually imprisoning criminals - I know, a strange concept for Democrat.

On the flip side, Democrats are trying to turn their -------- blue cities into El Salvador from the early 2000's by letting violent criminals victimize their ------- voters in those blue cities that are too afraid to say anything for fear of being labeled a racist, a classists, or some other -------- label that keeps them in line.
