Wonderful. Yet another way of breaking his promise not to raise taxes on those who make less than 400k.

Oh exactly. They’re counting on the idea that free stuff and helping an oppressed minority will create loyalty. Hispanics have very conservative values, are very religious and have deep loyalty to FAMILY above all. Some of their cultural norms would bother libs if they played on regular TV.

Indeed. We have Americans and businesses relocating there. Can’t be that bad. Plus, SOMEONE is assisting them through the country.

If you are escaping tyranny or being killed - you claim asylum in your first country you get to. You do not have the luxury of choosing Tahiti or Monaco as your destination for asylum, since the basic premise is, life in danger. Hence, Ukrainians seeking asylum in Poland or Turkey. They don’t...

BUT it's like DJ says and now I am hearing punditry echo it - it's all feelings. I said before, Martha's Vineyard exposed the fake compassion to the nth degree. It was JUST FIFTY PEOPLE. My parents took in four immigrants who lived with them for four months, some of them a little longer. These...

Some years back, there WERE mines in the Arizona desert. They're gone now. Also, to HELP illegals to cross the desert there, people set up water stops - which were sabotaged by residents. I think if you want to be kind to those entering this country - you should become a sponsor. It's virtue...

The biggest part of the problem is the lack of spine when it comes to enforcing the laws. Everything from social media, TV shows, movies and news programs portray illegal immigrants in the same utterly sympathetic light, and that expelling illegals is somehow cruel and inhumane. I don't know of...

You can ALWAYS brag about how charitable you are until you have to put your money where your mouth is. Martha’s Vineyard proved that beyond all doubt, FIFTY illegals that a handful of extremely wealthy persons COULD have helped - and within 24 hours they gave them a sandwich and a boot to the...

Every study or paper I’ve ever read on the benefits of immigration completely conflates legal with illegal immigration. Every city that has taken on the burden of illegal migration has noticed a large net DRAIN on their resources. They do not present a benefit. WORSE, because we have flung the...

BFHD. Instead of filling up with gas, you spend HOURS for a full recharge. I just don’t see EVs as the green solution. Years ago I saw a concept car that just ran on compressed AIR. Two massive tanks beneath the car and it ran literally on AIR. Granted you would also have a time refilling the...

Remember the term “killer app”? It was the feature in a new technology SO COMPELLING that just to stay even with competitors - you needed to adopt it. Simple desktop computers replaced typewriters. The killer app? Word processing software. Ditto spreadsheets. Prior to Lotus 123 and Excel -...

I’ve dug trenches in mud with the ground above my head. I’ve compacted rotten seafood in dumpsters with my shoes. I’ve shoveled sht, and some of it HUMAN. I’ve shoveled radioactive waste in a HAZMAT suit. I’ve installed dozens of roll roofing in 100+ heat and hung clapboard in snow up to my...

My kids want to know what’s so bad about leaving the door open. After all, the pets can come and go. “Hmmmm … snake in your shower, possum in the trash, bats in the basement, lizards on your pillow, hornets in your closet … need I continue?” The biggest problem is when you leave a door open...

So if I CHANGE my political views - so will my face?

Can’t be for no reason the Russians are there. Niger really has only one export. Uranium ore.
