You have no idea what you are writing.

No one on this board supports illegal immigration. You've just been listening to whatever highbrow facsimile of Fox News you tune into far too much.

Your posts over the last couple of weeks have been misinformed and silly. The Biden administration was doing a perfectly competent job of enforcing the immigration laws.

There are two issues here.

1. Asylum claimants. The USA is a signatory to an international treaty - signed under a GOP admin - that obliges it to provide asylum hearings to claimants. That can only be negated if Congress votes to resile from the treaty concerned. Trump can't do fuck about it. Neither could Biden.

2. Illegal entrants without asylum claims. They were deported under Biden as well. With a lot less posturing and publicity than in the last couple of shabby, assinine weeks of Trump's klownery.

If you want to keep writing in this thread, try to post fact-based comment. Clearly whether other posters respect you is not a relevant concern to you, given the poor substance and quality of your posts.
We've been through this The Mandrill. Very few people are deported if they overstay their time.

It's a defacto tolerance of illegal immigration by various govt. authorities.

This uncertainty might provide the necessary deterrence for illegal border crossings. It's really that simple.

This idealistic view that there should be no consequences for coming into the country and staying illegally doesn't make any sense to most Americans. I'm fairly certain Canadians would not tolerate it.

What we're left with is news media and social media campaigns to oppose Trump. Unfortunately for those who oppose his policies, the Biden Administration gave the American public a clear picture of what happens when you don't have tough immigration enforcement.
My first response to your post was to just assign you with a :ROFLMAO: and then write a reply but then I saw this post which says it all perfectly so I will leave you with The Mandrill's reply and this happy little fella--------> :ROFLMAO:

I don't think that is achievable in the near-term The Mandrill.
Depends on a lot of shit neither one of us knows, The Earp. How the ruble holds up. Whether Putin falls out of a high window. And so on.

Okay, if you think he should be held to controlling inflation and ending the Ukraine war in the first two weeks because he said so that's your prerogative.
You mean he lied?!?!?!? 🥴

If some corruption was uncovered in Biden's administration, are you saying it gives the Trump administration carte blanche to be as corrupt as they are currently?
I actually think he was doing a slightly different motte and bailey.

Notice this started with claiming Hunter and Joe were corrupt.
When you countered, he moved it to "all governments have corruption".

So yes, part of this is to allow false equivalence - a single example of corruption in government during Biden's administration excuses all corruption done by Trump and anyone else.
But it is also to allow a single example of corruption in government during Biden's administration to act as proof that Joe and Hunter Biden were personally corrupt in the way he thinks they are.

Senior attorney. Probably makes $150 - $200k a year. At least 12 months severance, probably more like 18 or 24. That's a quarter-mill legal damages settlement right there.

Better crank up that tariff on Canadian beaver oil by another 1 or 2% to fund this type of shit. Cos there's gonna be a LOT of litigation happening!!

And Trump will probably replace this lady with a first year lawyer who graduated from an F-list Jesus college in Alabama like Jenna Ellis and who spends her first day at court desperately trying to find the lady lawyers' bathroom!!! 😹

I'm not sure there will be.
There are some strange rules about who can be fired how in the Federal government and that was also one of the things Trump immediately EO'd.

I don't know enough about where her current position falls to say whether she does or does not have a case,

I don't think you can EO that you have immunity from lawsuits re firing someone and then fire them a week later..... ;)

If this is so, I am going to suggest it has little to do with Biden who was enforcing very diligently.

Deportations don't just magically happen. They cost a lot of $$$$. ICE has to track down and catch over stayers. Ditto the Border Patrol. The illegals have to be housed and fed pending removal - (although I suspect many MAGAs would prefer that they simply be killed and used as fertilizer, especially the illegal children.)

Then they have to be flown back to wherever they come from. We're talking potential cost in the billions of $$$.

And then, there's the limited downside to illegals. Most of them are law abiding. For every Salvadorean gangster in East LA, there are probably a couple of hundred scared, quietly working maids and laborers who live in dread of being involved with the cops. And it appears many businesses depend on them, perhaps entire communities in Texas and CA.

In Canada, we simply give law-abiding, long term illegals permanent legal residence after a few years. It solves the problem perfectly. But then, we're not racist up here. And in fairness, we don't have the scale and extent of illegal resident issues that the US has because we don't have a land border with the Third World.

That help you?

I know it's confusing.

Do you think if the Ukraine and Russia keep fighting that Putin will fall within a few years? It's a gamble but it might be worth it.

I ask because that is what I thought you were implying earlier.

I think the greater risk is that the Ukraine doesn't have the staying power (manpower, public support). The Ukraine could lash out at Russian civilian targets in desperation. The Russians will hit more civilian targets in retaliation.

I don't have enough insider insight and I suspect Russia in particular is unpredictable.

Russia has been hitting Ukrainian civilian targets lavishly since 2022.

Last I heard, the Stable Genius said that the US was most prosperous back in the 1870's before it introduced income tax and when tariffs were very, very high.

But then he also shared with us that the US economy was about to become even better under his administration because he too was going to tariff everyone else massively. So there you go!

Why?? Molly Gaston was very disloyal to Trump. I'm glad Trump fired her!! I think Trump's legal team could start a lawsuit against her!!

For what?

Do you think ALL lawyers should be sued by people that they sue / prosecute?

Wouldn't that interfere with the justice system?
