Trump's Proposed Mortgage Ban for Undocumented Immigrants Sparks Debate
I guess you really don't understand what was being said in the OP. That home loan program is not for illegal aliens. Its a program for Americans that dont have a Social Security number. Without a valid number there isn't an easy way to prove you are a citizen legally as thats the one identifier that's used constantly in the US. Illegals often obtain SS numbers on the black market or can provide other documents (fictitious or stolen). They could potentially apply and appear as a citizen with proper ID if they want to take a chance at getting caught. California is the only state that triwd to offer loans to illegals and it was vetoed a few days ago. -

How much time do you spend ironing your clothes...in Thailand?
Laundries are ten a penny here. Even if you can't use the university one, are there no others in the vicinity? The other possibility is to advertise for someone to do your ironing if you prefer to do your own washing. I haven't ever ironed in Thailand. I drop my bag of dirty laundry off with one of my local laundry ladies, and pick it up two or three days latter all clean, pressed and folded. -

Your recent experiences with WISE to Kasikorn
Khon Kaen fortunately and not Jomtien or Bangkok. And as you can read above it's ok with bank statements in official form/print. I have decided to change to Kasikorn after the extension for their much easier handling of the statements. -

President Kamala Harris
As a socialist ( small s ) I would never support a billionaire, or even a mere millionaire. I support Trump's policies Secure borders not allowing people likely to be terrorists in legally a strong military and most of all, no wars. I'd rather it were someone less flawed, but you have to go with what you get. I said way back that at least Trump would be entertaining and his family ( the females at least ) are attractive. He is certainly entertaining, but not as much as his opponents with their OTT rants about every little thing he does, or doesn't do. Seems Trump's opponents take themselves far too seriously. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
A deluded claim and one that is misleading. China is far more implicated in international conflict than western nations including the USA. China conceals its weapons sales, while western nations are transparent and are subject to review and conduct/use conditions. The official Chinese policy of non-interference, applied to potential arms buyers, means that China will sell weapons and security equipment to a state without regard to its internal political situation or the repressiveness of the regime.It is the preferred weapons supplier of pariah states. China supplies weapons to Myanmar where they are used by the brutal despot military regime against its own people. China is the principal (sole) supplier of tactical ballistic missiles to Africa. These are powerful weapons of war and allow conflicts to be more aggressive and deadly. Western countries have intentionally avoided supplying these missiles. China prices its arms to undercut international competitors. Prior to the Ukraine weapons requirements of Russia and Ukraine, China's principal competitor was both Russia and Ukraine, especially Russia. China intentionally sold at the lowest possible price to buy market share. This is the same strategy China has used with other industrial sectors such as EV vehicles, solar power supplies, textiles, and consumer electronics. China does not co-operate with the UN arms monitoring efforts and is late in reporting arms sales to sanctioned regions. Often the information is incomplete or not reliable. A compelling case can be made to identify China as a leading contender. Unlike western countries, Chinese expansionism has often been the reason for war. Western militaries have typically acted under international authorization. For example, the Korean War initiated by China and its puppet North Korean secessionists featured heavy Chinese attacks and bombings of South Korea. Western militaries were acting under the authority of the United Nations and were not the US military or UK or Thai military when they participated. Legally, it was a defensive action authorized by the world against the war waging Chinese. Similarly, when the US was involved in the liberation of (ungrateful and unappreciative) Kuwait, it was done under the authority of the United Nations. China has launched wars against Tibet, Myanmar, India and Vietnam. The comments should be put in perspective. He is the CEO of an arms manufacturer. It is his role to encourage the support and expansion of his firm. If there was not an issue, the government would not have been supporting the expansion of his firm and the building of a new state of the art munitions plants. In his comments where you emphasize the year timeline you ignore that he also states "We are fine in three, four years - but to be really prepared, we need 10 years," The fact is that since the comment made in February, the EU has already reached an annual production capacity of 1 million 155mm artillery shells, and allocated another €500 million to its ASAP program to expand capacity again. Yes, Russia has an estimated 3 million shell production capacity, but it comes at a significant cost to the Russian economy. Russia is mass producing in haste resulting in a high number of duds and defective munitions. Worse is the diversion of funding away from critical infrastructure and social services. The Russian capacity is being paid for with the future of Russia's youth. Meanwhile, the USA is quickly closing in on an annual production of 1.2 million 155mm shells. The USA will have increased its production of artillery shells by 500% within two years. The UK will also boost its 155mm shell production 8X once the new BAE facility is complete in 2025. Sweden has increased its production capacity, and once the Canadian government stops dithering, its manufacturing capabilities will be added. The most important takeaway is that the free world has ramped up in a responsible manner, protecting their economies and environments and ensuring sustainable production goals. The manufacturing is spread across multiple nations, while Russian production is still concentrated at a few mega toxic smoke polluting facilities that poison the local areas. The Free world is planning for the long term while Putin and his cronies are just concerned about surviving for another year.- 1

Schengen Visa Question
Thanks for all your helpful information. As I sponsor my families UK visa and have done for the past 10 years, I will try to include all the same financial information in the Schengen application. We will most definitely be only visiting one country due to time restrictions. Are there any Embassy's that are 'easier' to gain the visa from......? -
