So now you admit the ‘far right’ thugs. There’s progress! The media sure seems to think so. Me, not so much. Sure, there are thuggish outliers. But mostly, it's people seeing their culture being destroyed, their girls being groomed, and their money (some of which used to subsidize keeping warm in the winter) going to support guests they didn't invite into the country.

I think that their sin was exposing that there was anyone involved other than the media's far right thugs.

That's a relief. I was concerned she'd choose someone that would help her chances.

Hmmmmm. I thought there were no Muslims involved. It was just the far right.

I wonder if they offer a payment plan?

Some of the cities have onsite short term transfer visas for 24, 72 or 144 hours (based on the signs I've seen in the airports of Chengdu, Chongching, Xiamen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and others where I've laid over in this past year.) I haven't really investigated because my visa situation doesn't require it. Worth looking into, because some of the Chinese cities are absolutely great for a day or 2 of shopping (especially the tech malls) and history touring. But do your homework.

Whether you call her the Border Czar, or the Grand Imperial Poobah for Solving the Root causes of Illegal Migration, she failed miserably. https://apnews.com/general-news-3400f56255e000547d1ca3ce1aa6b8e9 https://www.npr.org/2021/06/08/1004504140/harris-tries-to-turn-the-focus-to-migration-but-gets-bogged-down-in-border-quest https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kamala-harris-mexico-visit/index.html https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/25/kamala-border-republican-immigration-496207 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-immigration-lead-mexico-border-biden-administration/ And now, the MSM is trying to revise history and play semantics to paint it as "Not her yob, man". But did she solve any root causes, even with $trillions of BidenBucks?

Was it a Thai SIM, or a back home SIM with international roaming? Because I've been guilty of jumping the gun, changing out my SIM prematurely during my Thailand departure. Rookie traveler error.

You mean like the fact checkers who insisted Biden wasn't wearing this hard hat backwards? At least until the public outcry forced them to back track on their fact check. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/snopes-admits-biden-wore-construction-hard-hat-backwards-fact-check-reversal The amazing thing about this story was how trivially they squandered their credibility. Fact check whores, I can accept. It's their business. But not cheap whores or dumb ones...

Do you have a more reliable source of root data than the St Louis Fed? By that, I mean a source that doesn't change definitions and polling methods to skew the data?

See, I read that as "Out of an abundance of caution, the Biden/Harris administration has put a hold on until after the election, lest another recently paroled immigrant gangbanger gets caught murdering an innocent woman. Again" But then, I am cynical. The AP article I linked to above was published in January, 2023. It took the DHS 18 months to figure out there may be fraud going on? With today's database technology and AI, they should have ferreted it out the 2nd time a fake telephone number, SSN, or address was used. Allowing that the first may have been a typo. That's either incompetence, or willful neglect for political purposes.

Migrants seeking US sponsors find questionable offers online It’s part of an underground market that’s emerged since the Biden administration announced it would accept 30,000 immigrants each month arriving by air from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti. Applicants for the humanitarian parole program need someone in the U.S., often a friend or relative, to promise to provide financial support for at least two years. https://apnews.com/article/united-states-government-fraud-cuba-business-immigration-5ec9a3451db3c08e51e9ae03ec26a83a

It was a product of a different period in US history. If you dynamited Mt Rushmore, you'd have to dynamite the nearby Crazy Horse, which is of a much more recent vintage, when people should know better... I don't advocate destroying either. If only for the tourist money. (BTW, the history of the Crazy Horse Monument is pretty interesting. Google it...)

How'za 'bout CBS News? U.S. pauses migrant sponsorship program due to fraud concerns The pause, the sources added, was triggered by concerns raised by the fraud detection branch of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which noted a significant number of would-be sponsors were applying to sponsor multiple migrants. The fraud concerns being investigated relate to the people in the U.S. applying to sponsor migrants, not the migrants themselves, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-migrant-sponsorship-program-paused-cuba-haiti-nicaragua-venezuela/ And if you're at all interested in facts and numbers, here's the FAIR report detailing what they found in public DHS documents: https://www.fairus.org/news/executive/internal-homeland-security-report-proves-biden-harris-mayorkas-chnv-parole-program

Maybe they should cobble together enough SF human poop and sculpt it into a Biden statue, and another one of a hometown gal, Kamala.

But if you selectively throw out numbers with no context, you can convince the MSM audience that things are ginger peachy keen. 15 million jobs, indeed.

I'm just not seeing 4.9 million... More like Zero for native born workers and 4 million added for immigrants. While adding 10+/- million immigrants... And net gain of only 2 million total full time jobs. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU02073413 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU02073395 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12500000 You can believe the so called "fact checkers", or you can go to the root data.

Assuming you know how to read a graph, what does it mean when the slope of the curve increases like it has post-Covid. You know... On Biden's watch... https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN/ It's not difficult to explain Trump's numbers, since the slope of the curve only matched Obama's line, until Covid.

But it's always helpful to point to countries with policies that work.

Will they use the existing port facilities, or build new docks to launch the dinghies?

Did you even hear it when it sailed over your head?

Freudian slip, spoiler alert, sabotage, or just plain stupidity? From TheDemocrats Twitter (X) account:

Have the kids in after 10:00 PM, and Pattaya is fine. Lots of activities for families. They don't have to shut anything down. Just discourage the real raunchy stuff until after 9:00 PM. Then they can pull out the boner pills, blue dildos and the ping pong balls for the husbands to sneak away. I suspect a lot of the wives would welcome the respite.

Yeah, tough to answer the question directly without getting the post deleted for linking to "unapproved sources", so my post looks very different than my first draft. I contend that the fact the kid was born in the UK scares people even more than blaming a newcoming migrant. It's an indication that this is going to be a multi-generational problem. Kinda goes along with the German Charity throwing up their hands recently and declaring that "integration has failed". So the Brits (and the Swedes, and the French, and the Germans, and the Yanks) are in for a multi-generational fight. Child refugees in Germany are being radicalized in mosques, joining gangs, and roaming the streets with knives as young as eleven, according to a leading youth charity. The Christian-run organization Die Arche (The Ark), which operates 33 centers across Germany and supports over 7,000 children and young people from refugee and socially disadvantaged families, has issued a stark warning about the state of integration in the country. https://aseannow.com/topic/1334302-german-child-refugee-charity-condemns-system-integration-has-failed/#comment-19114736 And if you peruse the unapproved sources, you'll find videos of concurrent "mostly peaceful protests" by Muslims carrying weapons. But that doesn't support the globalist agenda... So you won't see them unless you look past the MSM to get other views.

Contending that the recent stabbing is the only reason for the riots is like claiming the Gaza strife started on Oct7 and the Ukraine issues started in 2022. It ignores decades of pent up frustration. Do a Google search for "rotherham grooming gangs" and you'll find hundreds of links over decades. Do you think it's a coincidence or random violence that the "right wing mobs" are trying to torch a migrant hotel where thousands of girls have been sexually assaulted by migrants? Of course, I don't support violence. But if the cops and officials aren't going to protect the community, doesn't that push good people up against a wall?
