There still are programs that allow for migrant workers and these workers are legal workers, they enter the USA with a work visa mostly the H1B 

 

If there is a law and you're not following the law then it's illegal, that its!   

The Thai police do nothing about under age (no license)  kids driving motorcycles, so according to you that makes it legal?

 

 

Yes, in a sense it does make it legal. Again, why do kids in Thailand ride motor bikes? To get to school, get things for mom or dad for work, joy riding? But law enforcement knows it happens, parents know, kids go thru check stops all the time. If Thailand "enforced" the law, some kids wouldn't be able to go to school, some mom & pop stores couldn't open, grandma couldn't get to the temple etc., so yes in a sense they have legalized it without changing the laws because it would prove detrimental to society, much like immigration is allowed, albeit "illegally" in the US. I am sure in the coming months and years you will see the immigration policies of The Trump will be different than the bluster of today. Why? They will soon realize just what a negative impact removing all illegals will have on US society. Maybe I am wrong, will see what the next 2 years brings.

Not a very convincing analogy.  Just because the Thai police don't crack down on kids riding motor bikes does not make it legal in any sense of the word. 

As far as the removal impact goes, I doubt it will be serious because the deportations will be gradual and the economy will adjust gradually.  Hopefully, any negative impacts will be matched by similar positive impacts.  As you say, we will have to wait and see.

I reckon Musk is an odd-ball, now trying to get his finger into every pie because folk are taken in by his cash, even Trump has fallen for it...:whistling:

 

Putin thinks he will have Trump under his thumb, Musk and Putin think the same.....🤗

 

Trump is a salesman, gift of the gab, with nothing to back it up........🤥

 

Trump even thinks Kim is his chum, next minute, missiles are flying over Japan and now supplying cannon fodder to Putin..........😂

There is a consistency from MAGA supporters on this forum - inability to comprehend the author and content of an opinion article posted for debate.

Depends very much on the level of stupidity, and the quality of language, contained in 'an opinion article posted for debate'. Many of them are not worth a moment of anyone's day.

Where is your source of truth? The member is correct

 

The Social Security trust funds are invested entirely in U.S. Treasury securities. Like the Treasury bills, notes, and bonds purchased by private investors around the world, the Treasury securities that the trust funds hold are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government

The issue wasn’t about what the trust fund are  invested in.

 

 

As is typical of you and your misinformed brethren ... you don't have the patience to read all the way to the end of the article to see you opinion blown to smithereens.  You have two more attempts before you head back to the dugout as a strikeout statistic.

I read both articles prior to you posting the 2 links just to get it from "the horses mouth."  Unfortunately, some don't want to accept information even when it comes from an official government source.

Obviously depends on your opinions, some will concur, others will not - likely roughly 50 - 50 split
