Thanks for the emotionalism and irrationality. Your argument would work just as well (or poorly) for aliens who were living in the US legally. Do you think it would make a difference to a family if they were told that the person who killed their daughter was in the country legally? Maybe they'd break out a bottle of champagne. The fact is that these people come here to fill jobs that no one else wants to take. Without them, important sectors of the economy would suffer.

More cherry picking. And this time about a dubious police arrest. Did you read the part about the manslaughter charge being dismissed?And what does this have to do with the economic benefit that migrants bring to the economy? You think harvesting crops, building and repairing homes, maintenance work tending to dairy cattle, delivering food, or working in a meat processing plant require graduate degrees?

Joe Biden Tells Netanyahu 'No Excuses' for Lack of Gaza Aid President Joe Biden on Friday said there were "no excuses" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prohibit more humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. Biden made the comment while hosting a bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. His remarks also came as the Associated Press (AP) reported the United States will soon begin air-dropping humanitarian aid into Gaza. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-tells-netanyahu-theres-no-excuses-lack-gaza-aid-1875233

Joe Biden says US to airdrop aid into Gaza as threat to civilians rises Move follows death of dozens of Palestinians during chaotic delivery of humanitarian goods The US will begin airdropping food aid into Gaza, US President Joe Biden said on Friday, amid an increasingly acute humanitarian crisis on the ground after months of Israeli attacks in the enclave. The decision comes as the Biden administration grows increasingly concerned about the threat posed to civilians and as aid shipments in the besieged enclave are severely disrupted, and assistance was failing to reach people most in need... “We need to do more and the United States will do more and in the coming days, we are going to join with our friends from Jordan and others to provide airdrops of supplies,” Biden said, adding that the US is also exploring the possibility of opening “a marine corridor delivering large amounts of humanitarian assistance”. https://archive.ph/uq4Ya#selection-2243.0-2243.322 https://www.ft.com/content/c36c0386-8acb-48bc-a84b-8dfa636d00b4

Another NEWSFLASH: It would be perfectly Constitutional for the Congress to pass a law limiting abortions to a specific window of time. That's unlikely to happen. But what Trump could do is have the FDA severely curtail the use of mifepristone, the morning after bill. He wouldn't need Congressional approval for that. In fact, one of Trump's extremist appointees to the Federal Bench, Matthew Kacsmaryk, ordered the FDA to suspend approval of its use. That ruling has been in limbo while it awaits a Supreme Court decision. So there is the possibility that the rightwing majority on the Supreme Court will back that prohibition. In that case, Trump won't need to do anything. I suspect he's praying for that not to happen since it would almost certainly hurt his election prospects.

Someone else who apparently doesn't understand the concept of rates. -
Your comment was so foolish that I couldn't take it seriously. It's the same kind of reasoning that says if eating one piece of fruit per day is good for your health, then eating 100 is even better. Or if one ibuprofen can cure a headache then a hundred will cure someone of headaches forever. Do you really need more examples of why your claim was so foolish? Does it really need to be spelled out any further?

Yes, definitely. I'm guessing you're about to invoke some critique based on the observation that no cause in the world can be characterized as 100% certain. If that were a meaningful comment, then all science and technology would be built on a heap of sand. In the real world, science and technology work, even nuclear physics are ultimately based on statistics. -

Really? It's false that scientists don't understand what "primary driver signifies? other Pavlovian comment from you. -

The proof that what you're denying about aerosols is nonsense is very clear. Occasionally, when there's a truly catastrophic eruption of a volcano that sends huge quantities of aerosols into the atmosphere, what invariably follows is global cooling. Effect of volcanic eruptions significantly underestimated in climate projections Where and when a volcano erupts is not something that humans can control, but volcanoes do play an important role in the global climate system. When volcanoes erupt, they can spew sulphur gases into the upper atmosphere, which forms tiny particles called aerosols that reflect sunlight back into space. For very large eruptions, such as Mount Pinatubo in 1991, the volume of volcanic aerosols is so large that it single-handedly causes global temperatures to drop. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/effect-of-volcanic-eruptions-significantly-underestimated-in-climate-projections -
Sure you just asked questions based on a ridiculous assumption because....? No way it was a rhetorical question? Which is "a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer." Disingenuous much? You're not fooling anybody. So how do you plan to get these alleged native born workers to do these jobs? And what happens to those industries while they're waiting for that to happen? More Pavlovian right wing nonsense from you.
