@wildgrass saidi know the feeling. look at sohhouse's latest
There isn't a single sentence that I can understand here.
@wildgrass saidNo policy....are you saying that his policy, which he certainly did have, is incorrectly named 'open border'? Name it something else for us, and report back.
But Biden did not have an open borders policy. You need to redefine the dictionary definition of words to make this point.
Let's say you and I are professors. When students come knocking asking about grades or exam or whatever, I kick out 2,000 kids and you kick out 1,000 kids.
Neither of us have an open door policy. You're messing with words and confusing everyone.
Note how y'all rail about that, defending the invasion, but never comment on how he and Kamala did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix the problem of alien invasion. Constitution violated, presidential oath violated.
Y'all are all getting boring. You say abslutely nothing, just like SHouse on the Jan 6 thingy. Boring.
@AverageJoe1 saidAmerican policy since after WW2 is to evaluate and accept anyone who asks for 'asylum.' This is because people like @AverageJoe1 CLOSED our borders back then, turning away Jews, some of whom ended up dying in Hitler's camps (qv. SS St Louis).

So we decided not to be like @AverageJoe1 even though he keeps thumping on that tub. 😆
"The United States recognizes the right of asylum for individuals seeking protections from persecution, as specified by international and federal law. People who seek protection while outside the U.S. are termed refugees, while people who seek protection from inside the U.S. are termed asylum seekers. Those who are granted asylum are termed asylees.
A specified number of legally defined refugees who are granted refugee status outside the United States are annually admitted under 8 U.S.C. § 1157 for firm resettlement.[1][2] Other people enter the United States with or without inspection, and apply for asylum under section 1158.[3]
Asylum in the United States has two specific requirements. First, asylum applicants must be physically present in the United States, or at a designated port of arrival.[4] Second, they must show that they suffered persecution in the past, or have a well-founded fear of future persecution in their country of nationality and permanent residency[5] on account of at least one of the five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.[3][6]"

If you don't like our asylum law, @AverageJoe1, why don't you bring it up IN CONGRESS?!? That's how we decide things. Not by thumping on a tub. 😆

In all this hell of invasion, it must not have been an issue, (no one bohering with it, just walking in, ) so why in the world do you waste ink? Curious indeed. Did you have to knock dust off of that word?

Somebody do an AI of that...
@spruce112358 saidWiki is mistaken if that is their quote. There is no right of assylum. Refugees have the right to apply for asylum. That is as far as their rights go. Actually being granted assylum is a privilege not a right. The US accept only 20% of these applications. By your definition 80% were denied of their rights.

Also although the law can only be changed by the Senate the president can by EO, make temporary adjustments to how these laws are applied, which is what is going on now.

@AverageJoe1 saidBiden was deporting more migrants than are currently, so I don't understand your point on policy. There's not actually a huge difference in policy other than fear. Immigrants are scared to come here.

@wildgrass saidMeanwhile, hacking and burning the IRS is projected to cost about $500 BILLION in lost revenue this year, since the (already underfunded) agency will have even less available manpower to ferret out tax cheats and dodgers. The losses will mount on top of that figure with each year the IRS remains crippled.
GOP lawmakers are preparing reconciliation bill with $90-175 BILLION in new funding for immigration enforcement.

What's becoming clear is that DOGE, and the Trump "administration," are on track to fail miserably at reducing the federal deficit and debt. In fact, all signs are pointing to the opposite: through gross mismanagement, incompetence, and corruption on a scale never before seen in the US, the Trump regime will make deficits and debts worse across the board. Each penny that DOGE is saving is costing taxpayers a dollar.

Overseas travel to the United States has declined sharply since President Donald Trump returned to office.
Industry experts say some of the reasons are plain to see: Reports of detentions and deportations, including the weeks-long lockup of European tourists, have sowed fears of bad experiences at the border. Some countries have tightened travel advisories, and Trump’s whiplash tariffs have ratcheted up international tensions.
If sustained, the decline could translate to billions of dollars in lost tourism revenue, industry experts project.
Some would-be travelers are nervous about the Trump administration’s policies. Others are enraged by his rhetoric. Some have doubts about their safety. The European Union has begun to issue its U.S.-bound officials burner phones, for fear of surveillance, the Financial Times reported.
A piece of good news: the loss of tourism revenue will be especially severe in Florida. Couldn't happen to a "nicer" state.
This is far worse than anything that happened during the first Trump regime. But then, tourists weren't being thrown in prison at that time, and there wasn't anything like this insane tariff war and Nazi clarion call for Lebensraum.
@wildgrass saidIf I am hearing you right, you are speaking about deporting. What Biden did four years ago was open the borders to bring them in. We are talking about the millions and millions of people that are here illegally. Custome

Wil. And getting them the hell out of here is a different subject. That is what you’re writing about. I am writing about Biden letting them in in the first place. It’s not that hard to understand.

I wonder how many of our links you refused to go to TODAY?
You ok with Trump killing AmeriCorps?
I bet you didn't even know that and you don't even know what AmeriCorps IS.
Teenagers volunteering to help out in disasters, rebuild homes destroyed and the like, learning that trait that your Lord Trump HATES: EMPATHY.
Can't have THAT now can we?

It's not all a joke, but I'm looking forward to a swift and decisive Constitutional rebuttal and end to the Trump administration.
