Did Trump think that he was so much smarter than every other president, democrat or republican, that has ever had to deal with this problem? This predicament that he has found himself in is what happens when arrogance makes you think that you are the smartest person in the room and you surround yourself with dumbass yes men and women afraid of their own shadow.

But, considering he had to find a way of staying out of prison, he said whatever needed saying and blames his failure on the judicial system. When viewed from this perspective, he played a losing hand smartly.

"We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years,"

And why is that a problem?

President Trump can just keep them in detention camps indefinitely, until their trial date in 2389.

Is that why he's been firing all these immigration judges? So he can point and say "It'll take 200 years!"?

Of course America can give everyone a trial. Trumpf was tried three or four times and he's only one schmuck.

Yes, we can.

Because the Constitution says so, and the Supreme Court ruled unanimously (9-0 decision) that everyone is entitled to due process.

First, no other president has had to deal with the scale of illegals because no other president prior to Biden let in 10M+ illegals in their term.

Second, referring to it as a 'problem' when then GOAL of the Democrat party was to flood the country with illegals is not being very honest.

The solution is to charge all the Democrats who aided and abetted this situation (including their NGOs and judges) under RICO. Toss them in jail and the problem will stop.

Every time a deplorable trumping MAGAt posts about "Biden letting in 10 million people", I'm reminded how stupid Trump supporters are.

They're simply parroting bullshht they've been fed and lack the critical thinking skills to understand just how many "10 million people" are.

Literally 1 year ago, you dipshits were all saying that closing the border could not be done without an act of Congress because that is what the Democrat party told you.

Do you feel any sense of anger at the Democrat party for lying to you on this point? Have you done any self-assessment on why you chose to believe and parrot this obvious lie so that you make better choices in the future? The Democrat party treats you like stupid sheep - because, frankly, you have been since around 2008. Do you have any intention to change this?

Did YOU personally parrot the talking point that the border cannot be fixed with an act of Congress?

#16 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-04-22 08:02 PM | Reply | Newsworthy 1

What exactly does "closing the border" look like in your opinion?

A wall? The one Trump tried to build before a gust of wind knocked it over?

Can any of you xenophobes explain what your objection to undocumented immigrants is?

Is it the fact they're doing jobs Americans don't want to do? Is it their skin color?

The fact that until just recently Canadians could come to America and stay for as long as they wanted proves immigration isn't the issue.

Even the new law passed by the Trump administration allows Canadians to come to America for less than 30 days without having to register.

Your objection to immigrants coming from the southern border is nothing more than racism.

a 99.9% reduction in illegal crossings like Trump just achieved.

"Can any of you xenophobes explain what your objection to undocumented immigrants is?"

They suppress wages for US citizens and consume more in government benefits than they provide in enhancement for their communities. Same issue EVERY OTHER WESTERN COUNTRY has with illegal immigration.

"Is it their skin color?"

Nope. Boot the lily white Canadians and Eurotrash as well.

Another metric of success is the drop in foreign tourism.

Another metric of success the foreign students deported for traffic tickets and other minor offenses that typically don't get any jail time.

Canadians use to be able to come and stay for as long as they wanted. Now they can come and stay for a month without a visa or registration.

You're saying you're okay with people coming from the southern border and staying for a month without registering?

I'm not of the opinion the border is broken, nor do I take issue with undocumented immigrants doing jobs Americans refuse to do.

Also. Republicans love claiming they're fine with legal immigrants. But at the same time, they have no interest in making it easier for them to come in legally.

Right now, we don't need immigrants AT ALL unless they are the best and brightest. I am fine with guest worker programs - you are not allowed to bring your family members with you and if you commit a crime, you are instantly removed from the country.

Fact is, if there was no reason for immigrants to come to America, they wouldn't be coming here.

Fact is, there's work that they're willing to do that Americans won't do.

Most Americans would rather be homeless than work the jobs illegal immigrants do.

"Fact is, if there was no reason for immigrants to come to America, they wouldn't be coming here."

They are coming because greedy corporations hire them to suppress US wages. They do this because they don't have to cover the full cost of the illegals which shift to taxpayers in the form of higher police spending, higher school spending, and more government assistance programs.

"Fact is, there's work that they're willing to do that Americans won't do.
#31 | Posted by ClownShack"

There is no job that Americans won't do and you stating it is insulting. There are jobs Americans won't do for poverty wages - wages brought on by illegal immigration.

Probably the most disgusting job in the world is being a plumber - literally dealing with human shit all day. Yet, plumbers aren't all illegal aliens - why is that in your mind? Why isn't this "a job Americans won't do?"

It is when you have mass illegal immigration. Get rid of the immigrants and the minimum wage actually paid (not legislated) will be materially higher than it is now.

"Over the past six months, I've been tracking something really cool and mysterious happening on American streets. For the first time in 30 years, drug deaths are plunging at a rate that addiction experts say is hopeful " but also baffling."

Of course - because it is NPR - no mention whatsoever of actually enforcing border policies because that would be giving too much credit to Trump and the GOP.

Strange though - exactly the same time the border is finally being enforced and drug ODs are plummeting.
