1. See U.S. southern border

Because of problems in south and Central America…. Poverty, gangs, drugs, corruption,
hunger, climate change, and other things …. force people to flee their homeland and
so they wind up on our southern border in massive #s at which point the GOP blocks
and or will not fund solutions to their suffering and places where they can live because
they want blame President Biden.

See guns

See climate change

See Ukraine

See Iran. We had a really good treaty with Iran and Trump scrapped it.

See education

See health care

See voting

See …..

Btw if they can cause suffering then all the better.

Btw part 2 I had neighbors who took in 2 of the young people who were “kids in cages” and
the hell they and their mother went through was awful. Stephan Miller needs an ass kicking.

Not only kids in cages, separating children from their families in some cases they haven’t been
reunited yet, and having some women taken in for medical treatment and then doing hysterectomies
on them without their consent while under anesthesia.


Cruelty was the point. Miller is really a sick man. I fear for his wife.

Btw I can speak some Spanish and I took me 2 months to get the young lady* to look
up at my face. Smiling took longer. All members of that family …. Mom, son, and daughter
had been sexually assaulted on their way north.


*. About 11 or 12

Miller married Katie Waldman, a fellow administration official, on February 16, 2020. They have a daughter, born shortly after the November 2020 election, and sons born in February 2022 and September 2023.


3 kids in less than 4 years of marriage, yikes!

that they show once again what hypocrites they are!!!!!!!! The Uber Rich, or even just wealthy need those immigrants to keep wages low and make greater profits. That is so true of the Corporations that employ them, (think of the meat packing industry), the agricultural industry, (think of the the vast number of farm workers, and think of the manufacturing/service industries), and don't forget the humongous construction industries, trades industries, and the building industries.........


I love it when I read about an extremely rare green card or work visa RAID...........How about having a check point at some rich, gated community after all their opairs, housekeepers, cleaning ladies, grounds keepers, landscapers, lawn mowers, etc etc etc have come to work......

and flat workers, (cement), and all the massive "Laborers" to aid the educated trade members. And don't forget the "framers"
The list is endless. Someone told me that there is a new level below Apprentices in the plumber work, called "Plumber Helpers" that requires no registration as even an apprentice????????????

And that's as much as I want to know about that line of work.

I personally give thanks to anyone and everyone that can help keep the stuff moving along.

But not the capitalists whose "stuff" is just other people's money that they skim off as it passes through.

and I almost forgot the over road truckers. We recently had two fatality accidents, one horrific with Tractor Trailers on our interstate. Neither driver had a Commercial Driver's license/certification, and neither could read or speak english........

The over the road truckers, during the teamsters union time, always had a stellar reputation as drivers, and would always stop for a stranded motorist or person in need. They also earned livable middle class wages............Boy, those days are long gone

golf course/resorts in New York? The FBI found a stock of blank social security cards and a printing press??????
Whatever happened to that?????????

I recall that Trump has a bunch of employees at Mar-A-Lago and other resort/golf courses that have been given one of those special Visas that are for foreigners that have some special talent that U.S. Citizens don't have.......I guess we don't have any people here that have the ability to be a housekeeper, greenskeeper, groundskeeper, maids, servants, laundry workers, etc etc etc

That article a number of years ago also said that Trump Inc was requesting many more of those type visas for his labor pool....

Wed Jan 24, 2024, 10:36 AM

"A near-continuous series of invasions—military, political, and economic—moving from north to south has helped produce the poverty, violence, and insecurity driving people to migrate from south to north. The current humanitarian crisis at the border, with record numbers of unaccompanied minors desperately fleeing violence, insecurity and poverty, reveals the consequences of an interventionist policy that’s even older than the U.S.-Mexico war."

Thank the thinkers that think they thunk the thoughts that theorized
Idolized or despised bet I'm gettin' recognized
Mount Rushmore no ignore it can't rock with no big head
Half of the people want me half of the people want me dead
I am the Angel of Def with my rhymes against humanity
Teeter-tottering between brilliance and insanity
The one part the Fuehrer the one part the Pope
It's the inevitable return baby of the Great White Dope
.
.
Written on written off scoff callin' me a joke
I don't think that I'm a sell-out but I do "Enjoy Coke!"
I struck gold but never took it for granted that's how I planned it so can it
Around the planet fans demand it and you'll never understand it
When I die no lie plan on mass pandemonium
They may display my brain in a pickle jar at the Smithsonian
The one part the Fuehrer the one part the Pope
It's the inevitable return baby of the Great White Dope

Yes, they do create real problems too, but most of the "problems" they rail against aren't really problems, it's just a way for them to emotionally manipulate their gullible base.

and decide what will be the big issues to promote - way before any real discussion of candidates or policies.

Of course the politicos and press owners overlap either directly, or through relationships, and probably country-club memberships. (Epstein was a good boy at bringing some of these types together....)
