I am shocked anyone would move to coastal Florida in this economy and failing climate.

"why are you all sorts of pissed off that illegal border entries have been almost shut off?"

I am not mad about it, per se.

But it's a bad sign for the American economy, and American liberty, that migrants do not want to come here to work. Especially the illegal ones.

And then there's this:

You people always said come here legally and that's okay.

But now you are not saying that anymore.

I've never witnessed you criticizing Team Biden over their border influx in any way.

What's for us to criticize?
You are the one who needs to criticize it.
You are so sure Biden harmed America.
Surely you have evidence?

Show us where the harm from Biden's border policy are being mitigated by Trump, quantify the costs for both, and I will be happy to criticize it.

Define "border influx."
Which policy or policies was that?

We're still here.....and we're still electing people like Trump.

Any idea how to fix that?

Biden can bring them in by the millions in 4 short years with at best minimal vetting and all of thx pathologies (trafficking) baked into illegal entry.

Biden was promoting human trafficking, according to JeffJ.

Biden and the Dems were flooding America with trafficked children.

"Illegal crossings are down 95%"

We are going to hear this claim forever as well.
How about legal crossings, how are those doing?
How about trade, is that down too?

What value do you place on illegal crossings being down 95%, that offsets international tourism being down 10%?

You don't think about it that way.
This isn't economics.
This is hate.

Now , blue states can't artificially inflate their numbers before the 2030 census which is why these people were being brought in.

Look how he found a way to be a victim of Democrats.

They always do.

They are trained to understand the seemingly bad things Trump is doing, they are being done to protect America from Democrats.

You will hear this from them every time. Watch for it.

#67. That bill was a piece of crap because if codified over a million illegal crossings every year before triggering a modicum of enforcement. It was rightly rejected and as we've seen enforcing existing laws can minimize illegal entry.
#70 | Posted by BellRinger

That doesn't actually explain why the bill is a piece of crap.

It doesn't explain why Trump's policy is better. Also, it's a lie to say Trump's policy is simply enforcing existing laws. Trump's policy is the result of hundreds of Executive Orders, not existing laws.

It doesn't explain why e.g. a quota of one million is worse than what Trump is doing.

Your claim certainly isn't supported by any economic analysis.

Taken as a whole, you can't possibly argue Trump's approach to migrants is better for the economy, or the country, or Americans. You're already seeing that with inflation and declining trade and tourism.

The only reason to support Trump's policy against migrants is White Nationalism.

Why do you continue to support and defend non violent migrants being deported en masse? What benefits do you see?

Industrial polluters can be counted on to self-regulate.

Republicans think Christmas toys come on a sleigh pulled by reindeer.

"LMAO Christmas is 6 months out and you clowns are already bitching."

You, uh, don't understand how Christmas works.

"is it fair to point out he was morbidly obese and a cocaine abuser?"

What is "questions Republicans always ask after the police kill someone," Alex?

The guy was never given legal residency so you can't blame anyone but himself.

Guevara, who has lawfully resided in the U.S. for over 20 years, was placed in ICE custody on June 18, where he remains, despite being in the country legally since April 2004.

You people are absolutely dumb as dirt, and relentless liars.
And you choose to live your life that way, lying and being stupid.
Because it gives you all the rationalizations you need to deliberately harm people.

"Sandra Lee Reeder said that the body camera footage shows her husband running from police when they arrived. Police then shocked Reeder with a Taser, placed him in handcuffs and laid him on his stomach, she said. One officer put his knee on Reeder's neck for over three minutes, she said."

Are you planning on arguing it is acceptable to place a knee on someone's neck for a period of time, which changes based on their obesity or cocaine use?

Okay. I'll amend my earlier statement. If you're arguing that point, then yes you should bring it up.

"Warplanes almost never use transponders."

Well they're ------- ------- then.

Sending contraceptives to Africa is what a racist would do. Why do you hate black people?
#11 | Posted by visitor_

How is it racist to send contraceptives to people who want contraceptives while being black?

These people need to come in the front door. I have no problem with legal immigration.

Boaz you're flat out lying to us.

Kilmar came in through the front door and you were overjoyed when he was sent Trump's El Gulago.

Now, with all that aside.......is it fair to point out he was morbidly obese and a cocaine abuser?
#5 | Posted by eberly

No. It's not. Because those things didn't kill him. The cop's knee killed him.

The B-52 was flying with no transponder.

The Air Force did not inform the local airport about the flyover, which is important because the local airport does not have radar.

SkyWest saved the day here. From USAF's stupidity.

If this is good for immigrants who break the law, surely it's good for citizens who break the law.

I think it sends a message. Stop breaking our laws and don't come here. I like that.
#124 | Posted by boaz

The cruelty is the point.

It is all a complete waste of time and money, and it hurts people in the process.
#66 | Posted by eberly

I don't agree. I think it sends a message. Stop breaking our laws and don't come here. I like that.

Boaz thinks hurting people is how we make America great again.

Boaz doesn't care that half the people detained by ICE have no criminal record.

And he won't care when Trump starts mass detaining citizens either. (I mean whites for their politics, not the blacks already mass detained for decades in the War on Drugs.)

And Boaz absolutely has no way of showing how anything ICE is doing is making America better.

Whereas I can show you taxpayers spending billions, and for what? Deporting workers has a real cost to the economy, on top of the costs to taxpayers.

"This is nothing near concentration camps"

This is literally the definition of concentration camps.

"If MUST come here, make sure you come in the front door."

ICE is deporting those people too.
And you support it.
