Trump claims he will overturn the 14th Amendment

So you admittedly don't read and don't remember, but it's my fault you don't know what to respond to? Lol!
That's funny!
I guess we'll see how this all plays out. Keep in mind, there will be mid-term elections in 2026 that could be seen as a referendum of Trump's policies and actions. Could there be a "Blue wave" that gives the Dems both houses and keeps Trump in check? We'll see.
I think what he means is that a huge chunk of American's back then were children of immigrants, so anchor babies themselves.
The ol' "we'll see" futile comeback when all else has failed.
Was that same view taken when the Dems were frantically trying to keep him from running for office? Did they say "let's not sabotage him and we'll see what the people want"?
Nope.
I mean, it would be great if they actually helped their citizens....but that sounds like ....socialism! And, they US only believes in socialism for big businesses...
And, no Trudeau's immigration did not "destroy" the economy. There is verifiable data that shows the influx of people boosted our GDP. Now, it did increase housing costs and was inflationary on some levels...and deflationary in others....
Just Jews, Poles and Italians. They were the immigrant groups of the time.
Actually no.
Both parties have high immigration targets and a pro immigration. Did Toronto grow in the Harper years?..... By how much?.....
Pretty much just as much as it grew under Trudeau, right?
Politics is like a pendulum. It has swung to the right, but it'll come back to the left soon enough. And, if Trump does what he pledged to do, it'll tank the US and global economy pretty damn quick. But, as we all know, his word is worthless...so it is a wait and see. Because, he's unhinged, not very smart and is easily manipulated...So, it will always depend on who speaks to him last before he makes a decision...
Funny...you can't form a few sentences without filling them with prophecy. Lol!
Why do you think it has swung to the right in just 4 years?
btw where's Biden?
But their parents came in from ports of entry legally.
Sure, i believe only 60% were native born in what would become the USA in 1787. Many had parents from overseas. Apparently half the Europeans who came before 1776 were indentured servants (thus once they completed their terms of servitude became free). Plus slaves were a big chunk of the population. Apparently 4m people back then at 1790 census.
Thus depending on how one wants to classify an anchor baby, huge chunks of usa were immigrants or their children.
The fbi keeps statistics. They use the same methodology. They liaise with locals.
Extreme events skew public perception. The media highlighting every crime makes people believe things are worse than they are. Give me some adequate methodology and data to show otherwise. Gut feeling does not count. That's why casinos make suit tons of money.
Making assumptions about people is weak shit indeed.
House easily could flip, the Senate is a whole other story. Most of the at risk Senate seats are Blue ones. These are from the 2020 election.
Those are anecdotes. You've put forth a conspiracy theory about manipulated numbers. I lived in NYC and there a lot on biz along with SF and yes, there are shitty areas, so you're right on tha5. But no, walking midtown is not bad. If you watch Fox any bad event in these major cities is played ad infinitum. My SF friends say avoid the tenderloin and the rest of the city is fine. Same w Seattle etc. But the right wing media is as bad or even worse than others at spinning anecdotes into systematic facts.
I'll take systematic data collection over stories any day. But look - we agree any crime sucks and people who get wanton on it need to be taken off the streets, in very direct ways. And we agree it's time we put the needs of the average citizen above those who perpetrate.
No.
Stats are that Manhattan was far more dangerous in the 90's, due to the crack epidemic. You simply have the facts wrong.
Broken windows theory - Wikipedia

Here you go, bud. An actual article which disproves your garbage.
According to a 2001 study of crime trends in New York City by Kelling and William Sousa, rates of both petty and serious crime fell significantly after the aforementioned policies were implemented. Furthermore, crime continued to decline for the following ten years. Such declines suggested that policies based on the Broken Windows Theory were effective.[24] Later, in 2016, Brian Jordan Jefferson used the precedent of Kelling and Sousa's study to conduct fieldwork in the 70th precinct of New York City, which it was corroborated that crime mitigation in the area were concerning "quality of life" issues, which included noise complaints and loitering.[25] The falling crime rates throughout New York City had built a mutual relationship between residents and law enforcement in vigilance of disorderly conduct.[citation needed]
However, other studies do not find a cause and effect relationship between the adoption of such policies and decreases in crime.[5][26] The decrease may have been part of a broader trend across the United States. The rates of most crimes, including all categories of violent crime, made consecutive declines from their peak in 1990, under Giuliani's predecessor, David Dinkins. Other cities also experienced less crime, even though they had different police policies. Other factors, such as the 39% drop in New York City's unemployment rate between 1992 and 1999,[27] could also explain the decrease reported by Kelling and Sousa.[27]
A 2017 study found that when the New York Police Department (NYPD) stopped aggressively enforcing minor legal statutes in late 2014 and early 2015 that civilian complaints of three major crimes (burglary, felony assault, and grand larceny) decreased (slightly with large error bars) during and shortly after sharp reductions in proactive policing. There was no statistically significant effect on other major crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, or grand theft auto. These results are touted as challenging prevailing scholarship as well as conventional wisdom on authority and legal compliance by implying that aggressively enforcing minor legal statutes incites more severe criminal acts.[28]
Buddy, I rode the subway last week and there was a crazy guy evil-eyeing everybody and muttering. Same shit is everywhere and always has been.
