Careful with those government statistics, Eugene! Encounters means illegals that the border patrol actually come in contact with, which is a small subset of the universe of illegal border crossers. If ya don't see 'em, ya can't contact 'em, so ya don't count 'em. Publicizing "encounters" instead of "illegal crossings" lets them bigly underestimate the number.

So increase the number of veggie-picker and meatpacker visas, make it a simple process to apply, and require EMPLOYERS to post a significant cash bond to ensure their LEGAL temporary employees pay all required taxes and leave when their contract/visa expires. This isn't rocket science. No Musk required.

This is typical. Trump enacts some policy, signs an executive order, based on distended gut feelings rather than facts. Then it's only a matter of time before he has to reverse course. It's not politaco maneuvering, which would imply a thought-out plan of action. He simply does whatever pops into his head during his morning dump and X-tweet extravaganza, and has to react when it blows up in his face.

"Peas and carrots be upon ye."

Those are the famous "rooftop Koreans" who defended their homes and stores from roving bands of fiery but mostly peaceful gentle giants during the Saint Rodney riots. "Pants up, don't loot!" The purpose is to show that California is a sanctuary for the criminal element, and its up to the citizens to look out for themselves.

Calm down, breathe, relax. Don't be an offended liver sausage!

Irrelevant. Thailand has an aircraft carrier AND a fleet of blimps.

Or buy from Lazada 195 baht with shipping, and pay some local 5 baht to install it. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i4062570850.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.171.21a76771SWcyWh Just pay it, Charlie. Don't be outrageously cheap.

No, dear. Try reading the words I typed, rather than fantasizing about what you want to think I writ. LA is big, really big. Bigly big, in fact, and we never know when city or county is the subject, as this is usually undefined. That means when some journalist or potentially paid influencer says "LA is burning", it's all pretty subjective in the mind of the reader as to the extent of the fiery but mostly peaceful protests. Anyhoo, DIY is the solution.

Oh, I get it now. It's just a notarized affidavit claiming and swearing they have income, not that they bring it into Thailand, and no proof is income is required, at least for US letters. Sounds like a scam.

Los Angeles covers an area of approximately 469 square miles. The larger Los Angeles County spans about 4,000 square miles. LA City is about the same size as the Heard and McDonald's Islands, 412 square miles, big enough to be included in the original Trumper tariff tantrum list. Or as big as Palau, 459 square miles, where a Chinese influencer on vacation famously dined on bat soup. LA County is the approximate size of Cape Verde or Transnistria or Freedom Polynesia.

Translation error: As adjectives the difference between unwitting and witless is that unwitting is unaware or uninformed while witless is destitute of wit or understanding; wanting thought; hence, indiscreet; not under the guidance of judgment.

Shouldn't be a problem if some uppity IO demands that. You remitted much more than that over the past two years using the income method. Easy enough to get a bank letter showing that.

Thailand finally done it. We're an internationally-recognized hub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a scam. The buffalo really was sick.

I like Maxxis Classic for interstate highway and Texas chip-seal. Wanted something wide and tall for a Kawasaki Concours.

So the rules are "if we run away, you can't follow."

No visit from Korat immigration yet for retirement extension, but we live more'n an hour away. I did provide a hand-drawn map last two extensions, but each time the document checker pulled it out of the pile, gave it back to me, said "no need."

But that wouldn't have gotten him arrested in front of the cameras, which was the entire point of the exercise.

So you're sayin' the burning of the Reichstag was just a "fiery, but mostly peaceful" democratic protest?

A year in jail should do. He can enjoy being "possessed."

More like, werf another Leberkäs' in the Schwenker, Markus!

Tiroleans, they're the worst sort.

Sorry, friend, I googled your talking point and couldn't find anything about Chinese or Russian ships violating Canadian sovereignty. Did find plenty of threats towards Canada by Trump, threats by Trump to annex Greenland, by force if necessary, threats by Trump to take Panama. And the only Article 5 event recently was the US/UK blowing up Nordstream. And gosh, not even a sternly-worded letter!
