New Data: Legal Immigration Has Declined Under Trump
Both legal and illegal immigration are down.
No thanks to anything tangible that he has done so far. Unless you want to argue that he just made the country shittier and people don’t want to come here legally or illegally. Maybe then you’d have a point but I would argue that setting your house in fire so that you stop getting visitors is not a reasonable solution.
The reality is that immigration was coming down long before Trump ever got to be president.
That stupid wall that he cried so much never got built, and I would not be surprised if he starts recycling this material soon enough.
Yes. Do you remember that many of his supporters were happy about that shutdown, including me?
No actually. It does not even make sense. Why would his “supporters” be happy for him throwing a tantrum and still getting his way denied by congress. What I remember is many of his right-wingers supports, such as Ann Coulter and others starting to realize that this guy was a con artist.
So if for some reason you were “happy” that a bunch of people lost or had their paychecks delayed because of a non-sense tantrum that culminated with him caving... then you are more disturbing that I thought. The only people I could think would be happy about this are enemies of the US. Tell me, are you an enemy of the US?
Like what? You are upset about police harassment, except if you can get them to go after Republican pols and supporters?
I don’t know. Let’s get them and find out. Probably more embarrassing shit than illegal. He is probably in deep debt and has a shitty net worth or something like that because that is the kind of shit that he cares about, appearances. If it was merely something criminal he probably wouldn’t care as much, after all he has been already subject of criminal investigation and not charged solely because of the office that he hold hostage.
Violating the Privacy Act is a criminal offense. I see that doesn't bother you.
Frankly not much in this case. He has asymmetrical power that he is abusing so I say let the gloves come off.
If he had cooperated and behaved like every single other president/politician before him sure, but that is not the case.
And it is not like this information is not relevant... financial conflicts and/or possible leverage and/or fraud/illegalities is something that voters SHOULD have access to.
So no, it does not bother me.
The majority in this country isn't far left, but they are now a significant faction in the Democratic party
LOL, compared to the facists idiots that have become Trump sheeps everyone is far left. But even “far left” Bernie would probably be as centrists as it comes if he were in any other of the democratic countries. “Medicare for all, super far left” except canada has it, the UK has it, Germany’s has it, Japan has it... so yeah... all of those countries are far left.
Dude...
U.S. enjoys best manufacturing jobs growth of the last 30 years
The Wuhan coronavirus, Democratic lockdowns and rioting Democrats are harming the economy now, but people saw wage increases and low unemployment for the first time in 30 years.
Call it like you want. Both democratic and republican governors shut down the economy and trump himself took the earlier steps and his government gave the guidance/blessing.
Yeah, keep trying to blame only democrats when it is the whole country that is going in flames, likely due to having a maniac at the driving wheel.
Ok. How many people on this board who voted for Trump do you think are going to switch to Biden. I'm guessing the number is 0 or close to it.
This board is not representative of the population at large.
And frankly, that is not the path to victory. Turnout is going to be the path to victory. That is how democrats have demolished republicans, including some in deeply red states up to now. Plenty of research have been done on this topic, it is far more efficient to make sure those that already agree with you to show up than to try to convince people that vaccine is not a cause of autism, that immigrants are not the cause of economic problems and that big foot does not exist.
I have a hunch that the young voter turnout and the African American turnout will be particularly high this year. We will see.
I don't think that's going to make a dime's worth of difference. Trump's poll numbers reached an all time high during impeachment.
I guess we will see.
The Whiskey Rebellion, Shay's Rebellion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Great Depression were worse. This is more on par with 1968.
Oh wow, you have made a list of the all time records of misery of this country so that we can beat them...
Are you actually cheering for the destruction of the US?
I think they are going to make sure this guy gets convicted. At least the Feds will.
Maybe, frankly the bland reaction by the police does not inspire much confidence and it would not be the first time that after outrage and clear evidence of wrong doing they walk.
You are quite naive about the justice system. I'm pretty sure, unless he pleas out, his defense will have an expert witness testifying to the exact opposite.
There won’t be an “expert” testifying that fentanyl causes heart attacks.
Opioids are routinely used for the treatment of pain in patients with myocardial infarction.
If you think you can reasonably argue that the guy had a heart attack in part because of a drug that is often used for the treatment of pain of people that are having heart attacks, good luck with that. I’d want to see who is the Doctor willing to destroy his/her reputation and any credibility in order to save a guy that has sparked so much pain and so many protests.
It doesn't matter what we believe.
It does not matter what YOU believe, given that you believe in bullshit.
What Al Franken did is far less serious than what Biden is accused of by someone who used to work for him.
Yes... and he still had the decency of leave.
What Trump has already admitted on video is far worse than what Al Franken did... yet he has done nothing.
Biden accuser suffers from not having a consistent story, having no evidence, and making an accusation that describes a character that nobody else has described (or believes) Biden is capable of. Joe Biden is more of the creepy old dude than the violent asshole that this lady is describing.
And make no mistake, if there was a video clearly showing Joe Biden doing what he is being accused of him doing, and it came to vote for him or trump, I’ll still vote for Biden and then demand his resignation, impeachment and prosecution the second that he is sworn in. Trump is a dangerous person AND a criminal.
If I had to choose between two rotten apples for me to eat, I’d choose the one that is not covered in cyanide. There is nothing that Biden has been accused of (without evidence) that Trump haven’t (with plenty of evidence) and on top of that he is chaotic, ignorant, divisive, bully... The choice is obvious. Not saying that Biden is guilty, In fact I am reasonably comfortably confident that he has not done what he is being accused of, but if he was... there is still no comparison, Trump himself has admitted of doing what Biden is being accused of and much more.
I want to see the guy convicted, not just charged. You don't remember the Rodney King cop trials, because you're too young for that.
The nation, the world, remembers. That is why there is protests and riots.
Biden is an establishent guy. This is the shit you are voting for.
Newsflash sir... these trigger words don’t provoke an emotional response on me. This “establishment” that you are talking about is exactly the same “establishment” that Trump was born into. He might have no formal political tenure but he is very well part of the establishment. Go vote for fucking Brad Pitt or Madonna if an outsider is what you really want.
No, you don’t want an outsider, you want someone who “your enemy”, those disgusting liberals, find repugnant to their core.
Trump is not an outsider, if anything he is more of an insider than any other politician. Unlike other politicians that had to work to get to where they are, and got corrupted over decades, Trump was born into this world, grew into this “establishment” and is very much part of this establishment. Your words are nonsense.
Yes, but you can't be tried twice for the same crime. No double jeopardy unless a mistrial is declared.
You see? You are already assuming acquittal and then you wonder why people are protesting. Out of touch.
This cannot happen, there is objective, undisputed evidence of the crime and the protests are a demand for this as well as a prelude for what would likely come as a result of a rigged trial.
I'm sick of the establishment.
No you are not. Your guy is the establishment. Except for his own family, every people that he brought to his administration are also establishment. These are the stupid shit you guys masturbate to while pretending that you are been some sort of ideological revolutionary when in reality the reality is more like IDIOTical revolutionary
Not to mention dangerous.
The Democrats not only didn't learn from 2016, they went considerably farther to the left.
Really? You are telling me Biden is to the left of Hillary?
Do you brainstorm your ideas before putting them into words or do you spit whatever nonsense that pops into your mind. For one, even the most extreme of the Democratic Party fall shorts of what the rest of 1st world countries is considered “left”, let alone “far left”.
Much of what you consider unprecedented has precedent. It's just that you either don't know much history or you are too young to remember.
Perhaps. Or perhaps you are too demented to use your brain.
Democrat states forcing people into lockdowns.
And so are republican states.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... virus.htmlHoax to cover-up establishment wrongdoing.
The cover up was trump reverting witnesses to testify.
The cover up was republican senators submission and blind following of their “leader.”
Manufactured by Russian intelligence and paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Right, Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid the Russian intelligence to collude with Trump to win the election against Hillary Clinton’s. By the way, they paid with money earned by a pizza parlor that sold children as sex-slaves to democratic pedophiles.
It is time for you to take your Seroquel and Olanzapine.
Government is enormously wasteful, so shutdowns are good.
Good. We should not be trading with communist dictatorships.
But we should be selling weapons to the Saudi
Iran is bad.
Are you regressing to your toddler stage?
China lies about it stats. The WHO lied. In spite of that, the US did better than all the major countries in Europe, except Germany. And that's with Democrat run states forcing sick people into nursing homes, killing thousands unnecessarily.
Nonsense and excuses. We are by far the worse country in terms of our reaction and subsequent outcomes.
Democrats run cities being burned by Democrat voters.
National problem, during a republican administration.
A better candidate who will stop illegal immigration, decouple from China, get an infrastructure bill passed, cut the cost and price of medical care, prosecute rogue FBI agents, federal prosecutors, dirty cops, dirty DAs, and dirty judges, break up the big tech monopolies, and I'm sure I can think of a few other things.
So basically anyone but trump right? Because he has done nothing of what you want. You are a joke.
