How stupidity is an existential threat to America
simple1 replied to simple1's topic in Political Soapbox
In other words it's a duty of care Though the Administration does contribute to costs. Once these people are in country the State has to have a duty of care, some specific detail in URL below though no mention of illegals, but more than 742k illegals deported last year. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2024/01/24/city-signs--77m-contract-with-hotels-to-house-migrant-families https://www.newsweek.com/illegal-immigrant-return-flights-increase-ice-1925364 IMO the appropriate path is what was allocated to Harris addressing the issues in source countries. She was successful to a degree with the three countries allocated to he by reducing outflow by 50%. BUT the 50% was then absorbed by people from other non Central American countries e.g. China. An extremely complicated issue worldwide. UN members do not allocate sufficient numbers of humanitarian visa's, there are millions of people waiting, By May 2024, more than 120 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations. This includes: 43.4 million refugees 63.3 million internally displaced people 6.9 million asylum seekers 5.8 million people in need of international protection, a majority from Venezuela https://www.unrefugees.org/refugee-facts/statistics/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/263423/major-refugee-hosting-countries-worldwide/ -

It is the opinion of the author I posted for discussion - it's not about me. -

Whatever, but your claim of free accommodation for illegals requires a credible link. For the meantime a factcheck: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/may/09/maga-inc/no-the-biden-administration-isnt-paying-rent-for-i/ -

You may find the following of interest: Republican group cites notorious Dred Scott ruling as reason Kamala Harris can’t be president Republican group cites notorious Dred Scott ruling as reason Kamala Harris can’t be president (msn.com) -
If you have access to WaPo the following URL provides plenty of detail concerning the challenges: https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/

It's your opinion - again I do not believe it is a current or prospective Democratic party policy.

It may sound like an insensitive statement, but the cold hard truth is that there are a lot of stupid people in the world, and their stupidity presents a constant danger to others. Some of these people are in positions of power, and some of them have been elected to run our country. A far greater number of them do not have positions of power, but they still have the power to vote, and the power to spread their ideas. https://www.alternet.org/cognitive-neuroscientist/

Don't believe, do not recall any Dem in USA calling for open border i.e. unrestricted entry it would be political suicide
-
Link please
-
OK. Can see content in the article Dems would have objected to. Seems fair enough, but not for right wing Repubs. Trump of course stopped the next effort purely for selfish reasons i.e. re-election. IMO unlikely trump will win this November and probably cause yet more division; the guy is obviously unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA
-
My error, you know I should have said 'House of Reps' - same outcome
-
I assume due to the Bill required recommencement of building a wall. Why not provide a link talking to the issue.
-
Wrong. trump controls the Senate by way of a republican majority. The repubs do whatever trump instructs e.g. stop the passing of the prior agreed Bi Partisan Immigration bill 'cause it would have given a win for the Dems. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-collapse-of-bipartisan-immigration-reform-a-guide-for-the-perplexed/
-
Actually it was a bi-partisan bill. dismissed by trump due to his personal agenda.
-
Only saying this due to trump's objection, not based on facts. “Trump told his MAGA allies to kill it in its tracks so he could exploit the issue on the campaign trail,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after the vote. “And Senate Republicans blindly and loyally followed suit.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-republicans-block-border-security-bill-campaign-border-chaos-rcna153607
-
The attempted legislation has bi partisan support. trump interfered as he didn't want a Dem success, so his cowardly supporters canned it.

<snipped for brevity: Reality check: So far in 2024, CCC has logged 37 political rallies at which former president Donald Trump appeared, and we have information on crowd size for 28 of them. Across those 28 rallies and using our standard estimation rules (see below), the average crowd size has been about 5,600. Vice President Harris has appeared at six campaign rallies. The reported crowd sizes at those rallies have ranged from about 10,000 to about 15,000, and we calculate an average size across the six of about 13,400. https://ash.harvard.edu/articles/the-real-numbers-tracking-crowd-sizes-at-presidential-rallies/

Currently where the buck stops is with trump due to disruptive behaviour stopping relevant enactment of legislation. BTW are the AGs personally responsible for murders in Republican governed States?
-
Whilst lengthy your comments confirm Harris was not responsible for Border / Immigration - lot of words for nothing. You have also omitted acknowledging trump put a stop to enact legislation for immigration control for party political purposes - proof trump acts solely in self interest, not for the people of America. To attribute personal blame for the murder to the President and VP is complete nonsense a la spiteful and divisive trump...
-
Endless lies and misinformation from MAGA world, plus some truly uncivil comments. trump manipulating the woman's grief for political reasons is revolting. The truth is... Harris, in fact, has never been in charge of the border... https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/08/17/kamala-harris-immigration-border-republicans/

Looking at you - lol
-
No. In common with other trump people you will seek to deflect, justify etc., etc Play your games with someone else.
-
trumps constantly makes red meat comments for his white supremist followers and other conspiracy believers; do you critique his behaviour?
