@Hindsite, You wanna use something that is even more offensive than the term "Yankee?"

@Hindsite, You wanna use something that is even more offensive than the term "Yankee?"

Do you really believe "Yankee" and "Redneck" are offensive? The terms don't really bother me. I just believe I am more of a "Redneck" than a "Yankee" because I am from the southern United States. Where I live here in Georgia, "Redneck" is more appropriate, because the "Yankees" are from the northern United States. Maybe the following song will help you understand.

The Wikipedia article I am trying to translate into Chinese uses "Yankee" in a neutral sense.

“Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

That is a clear sign that Trump is a genius.

Apparently it is possible to solve the illegal immigration problem without a wall:

Modi's party chief vows to throw illegal immigrants in India into Bay of Bengal




The head of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Hindu nationalist party took his invective against illegal Muslim immigrants to a new level this week as the general election kicked off, promising to throw them into the Bay of Bengal.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah referred such illegal immigrants as "termites", a description he also used last September, when he drew condemnation from rights groups. The US State Department also noted the remark in its annual human rights report.

"Infiltrators are like termites in the soil of Bengal," Shah said on Thursday at a rally in the eastern state of West Bengal, as voting in India's 39-day general election started.

"A Bharatiya Janata Party government will pick up infiltrators one by one and throw them into the Bay of Bengal," he said, referring to illegal immigrants from neighbouring Muslim-majority Bangladesh.

Shah nevertheless reiterated the BJP's stance on giving citizenship to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs from Bangladesh and Pakistan.

India is already working on deporting an estimated 40,000 Rohingya Muslims living in the country after fleeing Buddhist-majority Myanmar. New Delhi considers them a security threat.

The comments from Shah, the right-hand man of Modi, drew criticism from the main opposition Congress party as well as minority groups. On Twitter, some users likened his speech to a suggestion of ethnic cleansing.

"The statement is a direct attack on the identity and integrity of the nation as a secular state," the Kerala Christian Forum, a group from the southern state, said in a statement. It demanded an apology from Shah.

A BJP spokesman declined to comment on the speech.

Congress spokesman Sanjay Jha said Shah's remarks were a deliberate attempt to polarise voters along sectarian lines.

"The political business model of the BJP is to raise the communal temperature, keep it at a boil, and to keep India in a permanent religious divide," Jha said.

The Wall has been Greenlit....

[Hong Wu]

Since this includes an asset forfeiture fund, it still seems possible that El Chapo's frozen assets could be used to help fund wall construction.

The hilarity and ridiculousness of Western conservatives never fail to amuse me.

[Godstud]

@Palmyrene Please, get it right. These are right-wingers. They are not conservatives. Conservatives would want their tax money put to good use and not to waste it on some stupid wall.

Believe what you want.

In the meantime, we'll build our wall (with many thanks to the Supreme Court) to keep out the undesirables...

Yeah, but not half as much as the hilarity and ridiculousness of some 15 year old Syrian thinking he's going to "stage a revolution".

Because that shit's funny as fuck...

The wall's not being built.

Trump has not built single mile of new border wall since taking office

CBP: No new border wall has been built with Trump in office
In the 30 months that President Donald Trump has been in office, the Washington Examiner reported, his administration has not built any new sections of border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, completing only the replacement of dilapidated existing sections.

Perhaps you haven't been keeping up on things.

Funding was an issue, simply because idiot Democrats in this country aren't the least bit interested in having anything that even resembles secure borders. The Supreme Court has pretty much told those idiot Democrats to go fuck themselves.

Stay tuned. The wall's coming. It probably won't have the gun turrets I think it should, but a wall is a good thing...

[Godstud]

It's "coming". OK... My sources are very recent.

30 months and counting...

[BigSteve]

My sources are very recent.

And so is the Supreme Court ruling allowing Trump to use billions of dollars from the defense budget to build the wall...

[Godstud]

We'll see. As I said, nothing's been done in 30 months. $2.5 Billion isn't going to build the wall, either.

Blaming the Democrats is bullshit, as the Repubs could have done it when they had the majority.

Don't be daft.... Everyone knows this is a two-term deal and the Democrats were going to pull stunts delaying it. I expected it was going to start later this year, so I'm not surprised.

No doubt it will be built in stages over the next four years.
