I won't tolerate a student wearing a MAGA hat. 'Cause I'm all about tolerance and diversity and inclusion.

Does the head of the TRD count as an authority? The Thai Revenue Department is drafting a law to tax the income of individuals residing in Thailand that originates from overseas. The draft follows the international principle of worldwide income under the residence rule, said Kulaya Tantitemit, the director-general of the department. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/2860812/law-to-tax-income-from-overseas-in-the-works.

So just have a couple more.

Well, we're in a pickle now! How to choose between ChinaBad!™ and TrumpBad!™

I don't believe that immigration officials will start listing bribes received as income on their tax returns. But you can disregard that. I'm just guessing and you're not interested.

They've essentially "invented" what the Chinese are installing in coastal cities, at a cost of $1K/unit. https://hyenergy.en.made-in-china.com/product/sMNmTJdUCehz/China-Wind-Solar-Hybrid-Street-Light-LED.html Reminds me of the off-the-shelf litter collection robot they slapped a "Made in Thailand" sticker on, and announced the new title of "Hub of Seaside Robotics."

Hey, there's a thought! Let's repurpose a tropical island as a tourist destination!

Those are all foreign brands manufactured in foreign constructed factories, managed by foreigners, supplied with foreign sourced components, with final product inspected by foreign QC staff.

In case you're wondering, the big, beautiful wall and the chain-link fences are found mostly around urban areas. There are hundreds and hundreds of miles where the "border" consists of rusty 3-strand cattle fence, in many places missing entirely. It's child's play to cross the border undetected in the rural districts. I know. I've been there. I've done it. When the Border Patrol boasts they've made xx,000 "contacts," that's just the foolish ones that got caught. There are millions more that make it undetected.

Shirley, a million is an exaggeration!

Cobalt goes in US-sourced batteries. China Tesla uses different batteries. While the cars look identical to those still made in America, there is one key difference: the batteries. Chinese Model 3s use lithium-iron phosphate (or lithium ferro phosphate/LFP) batteries instead of the previous lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxide (NCA) batteries. https://evcentral.com.au/teslas-made-in-china-versus-the-usa-whats-the-difference-the-ultimate-model-3-sr-comparison-test/

Half of all Teslas are made in China. The Shanghai factory consistently builds more EVs than the three other sites—California, Texas, and Germany—combined. https://insideevs.com/news/715427/tesla-ev-production-shanghai-vs-global/

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there it is. It's not a day ending in "Y" if Thailand doesn't announce yet another hub of hubbiness. Hubbing!

Did you get those goalpost wheels on Lazada?

Families (all family members illegal) that illegally crossed the border will be process together. Illegal minors won't be separated from their illegal parents. Shirley, that's what you wanted, right? Can't have AOC crying for the cameras in front of an empty lot, now can we?

No crying, not any longer. There won't be separated families. Trump's new border czar won't be a useless DEI hire. ... asked if mass deportations could be carried out without separating families, Homan said, "Of course there is. Families can be deported together." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-homan-trump-border-czar-what-to-know/

Way back in the dark ages, under Ike, there was a thing called "Operation Wetback." 700 or so border agents managed to deport around a million illegals. Shirley, we have more than 700 border agents now!

The memory hole is deep. The Biden administration on Friday announced new temporary protected status for Haitians who arrived in the U.S. on or before June 3, 2024, to shield even those who entered the country illegally from being deported back to Haiti, which remains in the grip of gang violence. https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/biden-admin-gives-protected-status-309000-haitians-rcna159438 "temporarily protected" ≠ legal During his next term, Trump will be "temporarily protected" from acts committed prior. Doesn't make his former actions legal. Or does it?

My leader? You make assumptions. I din't vote for him. Requested a ballot from Texas, but was never sent. Last time around..... Edit to add........ This was not a vote FOR Biden. It was a vote AGAINST Trump.

Ah, I see. So now we're only quibbling over numbers. Let me begin. One illegal is one too many.

Why is this needed? Bangkok already has walk-drive lanes. They are knows as sidewalks.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. A program to bring in millions of illegals "legally" to circumvent immigration law is bizarre. Ending the program will allow deportation, then they can go to embassies or consulates and get in line and apply like all the other brain scientists and rocket surgeons. Trucking in tens of millions, spending billions on socialist programs, all in the hopes of creating new voters all dependent on your regime's government programs is democracy. Winning the electoral vote, all the swing states, and the popular vote by a yuuuuuuuuuuuge margin is totalitarian.

If they are here legally, they have documentation to support that. If they are undocumented, they have no legal basis to remain. As Trump will be dictator, shirley, he has the authority to end Humanitarian Parole and TPS. An executive order should be enough to deport the millions of documented aliens on these programs. They have applied for the programs, submitting documents, and been approved, receiving other documents. So, ummm, not undocumented.

What Haitians? I took issue with your term "undocumented." There is indeed majority support for mass deportations of the undocumented even though doing so will devastate the economy but I really doubt there is such strong support for deporting legal migrants. Undocumented = illegal. There is strong support for deporting criminals. Please pay attention.

Yep. Simple dictionary definition will get you: criminal /krĭm′ə-nəl/ adjective Of, involving, or having the nature of crime. Relating to the administration of penal law. Guilty of crime. As to crossing a border, umm, illegally..... Whether it's by crossing the U.S. border with a "coyote" or buying a fake U.S. passport, a foreign national who enters the U.S. illegally can be both convicted of a crime and held responsible for a civil violation under the U.S. immigration laws. Illegal entry also carries consequences for anyone who might later attempt to apply for a green card or other immigration benefit.
