I also wonder if someone(s) in the administration is threatening to quit if he goes through with this.
Is Trump backing off Chicago or doubling down? Fed's appear to be preparing for raids. About 140 unmarked vehicles have been sent to a nearby navy base, and some agents have already arrived and are training with flash-bang grenades and shields. (1/) chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...
I was at that rally and I’ve felt like he’s had a weird nervousness about Chicago ever since.
I just cannot stress enough that we have to identify some way of addressing the massive sociopathy problem in this country & its impact on the systems & social fabric that shape our lives.
“She was perfect,” Bi told me. “Tall, healthy, young, good job. I showed her off to my friends. The only thing I was concerned with was she’s a single mom, but I saw past it.” Everything about how this VC talks about the woman who put her life at risk to be a surrogate is dehumanizing and heinous.
For quite a lot of people a legal path simply doesn’t exist.
Three men deported by the United States to Eswatini in July have been held in a maximum-security prison in the African nation for seven weeks without charge and with no access to legal counsel despite completing criminal sentences in the U.S., their lawyers said Tuesday. https://to.pbs.org/3HE4LOP
Am I the one crashing out here?
You did but why do you believe that’s evidence that they didn’t fact check? I can only assume you’re conflating ’update’ and ‘correction’ but feel free to explain.
They haven’t issued any corrections or retractions.
The Trump admin is now moving to effectively double the number of immigration judges by citing flimsy legal authority to deputize hundreds of totally inexperienced military lawyers to take these jobs. Notably, immigration law is infamously complex, often described as second only to tax law.
No, and it won’t be. The reporting is accurate.
So you can’t.
That’s what it says. It doesn’t say anything about disparagement.
I’m barely pressing and you guys are getting very shy.
The only one here even suggesting at that specific framing is BTC.
I’ve read the article. You can’t answer?
The asylum system has always accommodated people from different continents.
Global displacement has tripled over the last decade, and the increases in 2021 are well within the broader trend.
The article is about Chorus paying for a measure of control over creator’s platforms and prohibiting those creators from disclosing it. There hasn’t been a single retraction and this video is in line with the reporting.
I read the article. You’re welcome to answer the question.
“Contract marketing”? Who are they doing marketing for?
They’re contractually obligated to “collaborate fully” on any engagements “with government officials or others on topics related to Chorus’s policy agenda”. This wildly different than not talking shit about your secret benefactor.
Sure…
The hit dogs have been hollering.
People usually just decide to go wherever they have family or friends that can help them get settled. But yes Mexico can be very dangerous for migrants, especially when they’re in transit.
You haven’t demonstrated that anyone’s gaming the system.
You just said you did. Twice now.
They’re asylum seekers.
Asylum is for persecution, not danger.
You’re confused. A ‘safe third’ agreement is just that, a bilateral agreement. The U.S. only has such an agreement with Canada and they’re currently trying to work one out with Paraguay.
They’re asylum seekers. The approval rate for Venezuelans is around 80%. Again, the US is operating here under the international standard.
You can claim asylum in any country you can physically get to. That’s the international standard and it’s been federal law in the U.S. for several decades.
I think this repeated argument of “well I would vote for that but these nameless others wouldn’t” is so fucking cowardly.
Why would you let him set the bar for acceptable behavior?
Wow, what century are we living in??
Which part?
Your feelings are noted 🚮
It’s not illegal to pay taxes.
They’re on payroll. The taxes come out of their paychecks.
Have you noticed how your argument has shrunk to nothing? If you don’t want them working off the books, just give them citizenship. Or at the state level at least you can remove e verify requirements.
Nationally, most are on payroll and all of them pay taxes.
They all pay taxes. Most of them are on payroll, and the reason some aren’t is because the state makes it nearly impossible. They aren’t trying to “game” anything. It’s insane to suggest that immigrants are the ones holding wages down when the federal government has set the minimum wage at $7.25
This is a wild pivot from ‘there won’t be a country’. Is it safe to say you’re abandoning that argument? Now it’s much softer. Wages, and social services. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes and they aren’t eligible for much in terms of services. So you’re wrong there too.
When did it do that?
bsky.app/profile/star...
Successful entries dwarfed internal enforcement for generations. It was de facto open. So when did the country cease to exist?
No, they didn’t 😂
It really didn’t. Most of the people deported, including the US citizens, just walked back over the border.
Telling how? And again at which point in those 200+ years did the country cease to exist?
The U.S. had open borders, either de jure or de facto, until the Obama administration. At which point did the country cease to exist?
And yet they reduce the violent crime rate regardless.
Undocumented immigrants reduce the violent crime rate. And MS-13 started in the U.S.
It’s been an open border for white people since day one. They even let non citizen men vote in federal elections in most states. Immigration controls were built explicitly to fill in the gap created by reconstruction.
Drinking from the wrong fountain was a crime too. It doesn’t concern me.
That’s not a violent crime. And it’s victimless.
I’m not aware of anyone assuming or demanding perfection from him.
Undocumented immigrants aren’t in a position of power. They also lower the violent crime rate.
Is his voting record not public? What’s the complaint here?
That or they look the other way. It’s extremely common across immigration enforcement.
Are they “far left”? Or is their brand centrism?
He isn’t pivoting though.
Right… are they “far left”?
I’m not triggered at all. Smug, maybe, considering he’s going to win the election. 🙂
It’s so interesting that you guys can say this with a straight face while Eric Adams is still mayor.
And of course those individuals were all released into the U.S. on a legal basis and here you are conflating them with something else.
The only issue in cities was democrats unwillingness to rise to the occasion. In Chicago Lightfoot didn’t lift a finger and in NYC Adams handed out no bid contracts to his friends who overcharged and under delivered.
It’s convenient.
HRW is hiring an immigrant rights researcher focused on the US: job-boards.greenhouse.io/humanrightsw...
He’s conservative. It really doesn’t matter if maga finds it convenient to paint him another way. He is what he is.
Adams is a conservative 🤷🏽♂️
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Is it not Luigal to have fans? 🤷🏽♂️
I’m asking you to demonstrate the “basic known fact” and you’re telling me you can’t. So…
Ok but you’re being extremely emotional right now.
Are you saying you can’t provide a citation?
I mean you’re the one crashing out here…
For “Biden opened the border”
Citation needed.
If you’re experiencing emotional instability, you should talk to a therapist. You aren’t going to get what you need here.
Who claimed asylum on an economic basis? Who passed their credible fear interview on an economic basis?
I’m asking you for a citation for your own assertion. Or did you make it up?
Citation needed.
Asylum is legal immigration. If you think there was fraud, feel free to share the stats on that.
What, tattoos? Clutch those pearls, grandma.
Conservatives are such wusses 😂
Harris underperformed with black voters.
What I was hearing was essentially that they were upset that recent migrants were getting the work authorization that democrats have been promising and not delivering to *them* for decades. People are tired of democrats taking their vote for granted. They want results.
And that seems to be the best the party can offer anyone. Good luck with that.
Trans people aren’t the only ones demanding better from democrats. They aren’t the only ones willing to sit it out if the party doesn’t take them seriously.
Harris underperformed with black voters too.
Which rights are you giving up?
The border as open as what, specifically? Biden swallowed enough right wing propaganda that you’ve started to believe it yourself. Your party is in shambles.
“She won all the states she won” is genius level analysis. Thank you for that. And you seem to think that people of color are more prone to misogyny, which is really something.
A growing bloc of the democratic base just isn’t buying the “vote blue no matter who” bullshit anymore. Harris chose not to listen to her base. People are fed up with the party and if the party can’t evolve, it’ll go extinct.
It was an absolute disaster and the party is in shambles.
