Most voters support Trumps Mass Deportation of Illegals, Pew Survey
More distortions from you. I named 3 specific industries, meat processing, dairy, and hosing construction. And then you offer a misleading selection of quotes. Did you think I wasn't going to look the article that link led to. Let's take a look at it. Or maybe you just forget to include this from Francesc Ortega: "Ortega said that history doesn’t support the view that undocumented workers can easily be replaced by those in the country legally. There is little historical evidence of how a deportation program like the one contemplated by the Trump campaign would impact an economy, he said, because nothing on that scale has been attempted in a modern developed country." Ortega goes on to describe that the only somewhat similar deportation program took place in the 1960's. And the result wasn't more hiring of Americans. Instead the did more automation and/or switched crops. So it didn't look like lots of Americans were waiting to take those jobs. But what makes your use of quotes really low, is the second quote. " these workers could be replaced by the more than seven million working-age men who are legally in the country but not in the labor force." Since you don't identify who said it, it looks like it's coming from Ortega. Actually it's from Steven Camarota, the director of research at the vociferously anti-immigrant organization Center for Immigration Studies. "Reports published by CIS have been disputed by scholars on immigration, fact-checkers and news outlets, and immigration-research organizations. The organization had significant influence within the Trump administration,[3] which cited the group's work to defend its immigration policies.[4] The Southern Poverty Law Center designated CIS as a hate group with ties to the American nativist movement.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Immigration_Studies One of its two cofounders was John Tanton, a white nationalist. The same noxious party who founded FAIR. -

Eastar Jet resumes daily flights to Chiang Mai in December
South Korea’s budget airline, Eastar Jet, is bringing back its daily flights to Chiang Mai after a pandemic-induced hiatus. The airline confirmed that from December 19, it will resume the Busan-Chiang Mai route, offering travellers a convenient link between two major cities known for their tourism and event-hosting prowess. Using a Boeing 737-800, with a capacity of 189 seats, the flights will provide a much-needed boost to both South Korea’s second-largest city, Busan, and Thailand’s second-largest, Chiang Mai. Busan, famous for its beaches, seafood, and vibrant festivals, will once again connect seamlessly with Chiang Mai, a cultural and historical gem nestled in northern Thailand. Both cities rely heavily on tourism, incentive travel, and conventions, and this flight resumption couldn’t come at a better time. Flight ZE947 will depart Busan at 6pm local time and touch down in Chiang Mai at 9pm Thailand time, while the return flight ZE948 will leave Chiang Mai at 10.20pm, arriving back in Busan at 6.05am local time the next day. Eastar Jet, founded in 2009 and based in Seoul, has a history of serving passengers with affordable fares. Having started with a domestic route between Gimpo and Jeju, it now operates flights to 14 destinations across eight countries. The revival of this international route highlights the resurgence of post-pandemic travel demand, reported TTR Weekly.

Koh Samui hide ‘n’ seek: Fugitive’s 19-year retreat ends in arrest
Police apprehended a fugitive on the island of Koh Samui who had been evading capture for 19 years. The 47 year old suspect was only one year away from the statute of limitations expiring for his crimes. Police, under the direction of Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridech, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), and led by Major General Montri Theskhan, Colonel Phongpanot Chukaew, and Lieutenant Colonel Thanakorn Uchanarasamee, executed the arrest. Rathakorn, under a warrant issued by the Phatthalung Provincial Court on December 1, 2005, was charged with premeditated murder, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, carrying firearms in public without permission, and carrying firearms without urgent necessity. Rathakorn had been living a secluded life on Koh Samui in Surat Thani province, avoiding any contact with police. He even refrained from seeking medical attention after being involved in a car accident and did not attend his father’s funeral to avoid detection. His evasive behaviour included not renewing his identification card and avoiding hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic. The police finally tracked him down to a residence in Maenam, Koh Samui, where he was arrested while heading to work in the morning. Despite being shown the arrest warrant, Rathakorn denied all allegations. He was subsequently taken to Phatthalung Police Station, where the original crime took place, to face legal proceedings. The case dates back to late 2005 when Rathakorn and his accomplices visited a nightclub in Phatthalung. A dispute with another group escalated, leading Rathakorn and his associates to follow the rival group in a car after the nightclub closed. They encountered the rival group in front of Kanchanaphisek Park on Ramesuan Road in Kuhasawan, Mueang Phatthalung. Rathakorn then allegedly shot and killed one of the rivals. Fugitive arrest Following the incident, Rathakorn and his accomplices went their separate ways to evade arrest. While his friends were eventually apprehended, Rathakorn managed to remain at large, constantly relocating to avoid capture. He believed that hiding on Koh Samui, a remote island, would keep him safe from police detection. In a police interview, Rathakorn admitted to being aware of the arrest warrant against him and said he had been in hiding ever since. He thought the remote location of Koh Samui would prevent the police from finding him. For nearly two decades, he avoided all forms of identification and government transactions. He even skipped getting a Covid-19 vaccine and stayed away from his father’s funeral in Phatthalung, knowing that police were monitoring the event, reported KhaoSod. “I thought I could endure just one more year until the statute of limitations expired but the police managed to catch me.” By Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-10-09 -
