    SAN ANTONIO – Forty-six people were found dead in a tractor-trailer on the Southwest Side, and 16 have been transported to area hospitals, according
    to San Antonio police and fire officials.

    “It’s tragic,” said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “They had families...
    and were likely trying to find a better life. It’s nothing short of a
    horrific, human tragedy.”

    Authorities said it was the largest mass casualty event they’ve seen in
    San Antonio.

    “We hope that those responsible for putting these people through such
    inhumane conditions are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,”
    Nirenberg said.

    Officials would not immediately confirm if the victims were migrants or
    what country they were from.

    San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said officers received a call 10 minutes before 6 p.m. Monday to the 9600 block of Quintana Road when a
    person working nearby heard a cry for help.

    When the worker approached, he saw several bodies inside an 18-wheeler
    trailer with its doors partially open.

    Crews with San Antonio Fire Department arrived at the scene to find
    “stacks of bodies” in the trailer and many people too weak to let
    themselves out, according to SAFD Chief Charles Hood.

    Hood said 46 people, men and women who ranged from teens to young adults,
    were pronounced dead at the scene.

    He said they died from heat stroke and heat exhaustion as the trailer had
    no air conditioning and no water. Temperatures reached more than 100
    degrees on Monday.

    First responders helped 16 people — 12 adults and four minors — out of the trailer.

    The survivors were rushed to local hospitals with heat-related injuries,
    Hood said.

    “Very hopeful they’re going to survive,” he said.

    Ten medic units were used to transport the survivors. Hood said 60 members
    of the SAFD will undergo behavioral assessments after responding to the
    scene.

    Overall, he said the response “went very smoothly and very quickly.”

    McManus said three people are in custody. However, he said he was unsure
    if they were connected to the tragedy.

    McManus said federal Homeland Security Investigations would be taking over
    the investigation.

    HSI officials released the following statement on Monday night:

    “On June 27, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) responded to a call
    from San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) in reference to an alleged human smuggling event involving a tractor trailer on Quintana Road near Cassin
    Road. Upon arrival in the scene, HSI confirmed more than 40 deceased individuals.

    HSI San Antonio has initiated an investigation with support of SAPD.
    Details will be released as they are available, the criminal investigation remains ongoing.

    HSI continues its enforcement efforts to ensure the safety and well-being
    of our communities. We will continue to address the serious public safety threat posed by human smuggling organizations and their reckless disregard
    for the health and safety of those smuggled. To report suspicious
    activity, we encourage people to call the HSI Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2ICE.
    All calls are kept confidential.”

    Antonio Fernandez, CEO of Catholic Charities, said they are working to
    help survivors. He said the Archbishop is devastated after hearing the
    news.

    San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller issued the following
    statement:

    “We pray for the souls of the 46 people who died in such a cruel, inhuman manner this evening, and also keep in prayer the 16 survivors – 14 adults
    and four children – as well as their families and all of the first
    responders who assisted and saved lives and must now carry with them the memories of this scene of carnage. I urge all in the archdiocese to unite
    in solidarity, as these brothers and sisters are members of our family. We
    also ask the Lord for mercy and understanding in this time of trial and suffering, still remembering our beloved in Uvalde. Give us the strength
    Lord to do your will. Help us O God.”

    KSAT will update this story with the latest information as it becomes available.

    What does "Biden immigration" have to do with 46 people found dead in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio?

    No Republican elected official in Texas is ever responsible for anything
    bad in that state apparently, we found that out after the Ulvade
    shooting.

    trailer at a San Antonio Walmart parking lot. Two others died
    later in hospitals. The driver was sentenced to life in prison.

    May 14, 2003: 19 migrants died inside a sweltering
    tractor-trailer while they traveled from South Texas to Houston.

    I don't think they teach that anymore.. now it's creative introspective examination of your gender identity. With extra credit for those that decide they want to be something other than they are.

    bad in that state apparently, we found that out after the Ulvade
    shooting.

    You can't have your cake and eat it too. Washington has taken states
    to court over whose jurisdiction it is to monitor the borders. It's a
    Federal jurisdiction and ICE is an Executive Department.

    Because Biden is POTUS; POTUS is responsible for border security.

    Did *all* pinkies sleep throught their Civics classes?

    I don't think they teach that anymore.. now it's creative introspective >examination of your gender identity. With extra credit for those that decide >they want to be something other than they are.


    I was surprised to learn some years ago that civics had been dropped
    decades ago in most school systems.

    This is a travesty. The average European knows as much or more about
    how the US Constitution works than the average American.

    I see you're one of those constitutional originalists who

    How do you get from "constitutional originalist" to "despises the constitution"....

    That seems quite a leap without any foundation or basis.

    Further, I'm pretty sure that max is fully aware of and supportive of the ratified Amendments to the Constitution, the last of which was ratified in
    1992

    So what sort of "constitutional origianlist" are you claiming Max to be? Because seems to me he accepts numerous changes made to the Constitution via the prescribed and proper manner.

    Let me guess.. your complaint is only that he actually believes the Constitution should be followed as it was designed and intended to be....

    So tell me, what do you think the law is? Merely a set of suggestions?

    Biden was president in 2017 or 2003? If not, who do you blame?

    The discussion was actually about dead migrants. This June event is

    Btw, those people would still be alive if we were to update our

    Sounds great but it could lead to a "poll test" which would be

    We know more are attempting to cross the border illegally than before Biden's inauguration. We know most are being given orders to appear in court at some future date, then released. We know many have been transported to other states by the feds.

    Authorities believe these illegal aliens boarded the truck in Laredo, after they
    crossed the border.

    not the first time this has happened.

    Btw, those people would still be alive if we were to update our
    immigration law to allow more folks in.

    Until Congress does that, the Chief Executive is required to enforce the laws as
    made by Congress, not as he wishes they were.

    Biden did not "let" the migrants who perished into the country, o oozing scarlet
    red maxipad.

    Hate to admit it, but that's also part of our current inflation and is
    the primary driver for wage increases. The supply of cheap labor
    coming in from the south is drying up. You don't expect Americans to
    wash dishes or perform other unskilled labor for $10 an hour under the
    table, do you?

    For years I've noticed blacks, women and immigrants being the majority
    of staff in restaurants, especially fast food. Lately though, as
    wages have come up, I'm seeing more white males at McD's, Hardee's and
    even full service restaurants.

    There are more border agents and they're apprehending more illegals.
    You're getting your wish, actually and it's driving wages through the
    roof.

    Due to a water leak, the insurance company is repairing some rooms in
    the house. The bathroom was torn out over a week's time almost a
    month ago and nobody has been back to finish it in over two weeks. The contractor can't find workers. Ten years ago it would have been a
    bunch of Mexicans working for low cash wages and the entire job would
    have been done in a week. Now, it's been only white males showing up
    and we can't get the work done.

    Authorities believe these illegal aliens boarded the truck in Laredo, after they
    crossed the border.

    That's ancient history; there's a new sheriff in town--

    "In the absence of a border deterrence policy, illegal entries have soared. Border Patrol agents at the southwest border apprehended a record number of illegal entrants in fiscal year 2021 and set a new monthly record for apprehensions there in May.

    "All told, CBP has encountered more than 2.7 million illegal immigrants at the US-Mexico line since February 2021. DHS expelled about 53% of them under Title 42, but more than 1.28 million others were processed for removal proceedings, and the administration has released nearly 1.05 million of those into the United
    States - where they will remain indefinitely - through the end of May...."

    You're assuming fewer are evading the Border Patrol, without basis.

    Due to a water leak, the insurance company is repairing some rooms in
    the house. The bathroom was torn out over a week's time almost a
    month ago and nobody has been back to finish it in over two weeks. The contractor can't find workers. Ten years ago it would have been a
    bunch of Mexicans working for low cash wages and the entire job would
    have been done in a week. Now, it's been only white males showing up
    and we can't get the work done.

    I see plenty of hispanics working around here. The unfilled jobs locally were formerly filled by gringos.

    Authorities believe these illegal aliens boarded the truck in Laredo, after >> they crossed the border.

    Would you like some facts with your whine?

    I'm a teacher, Headley... albeit, a *retired* teacher. I wanted to be

    the answers to life's questions printed marginally in red font.
    Later, I would learn that life isn't so simple, and I never found my

    I see, however, that you have found yours: "If it's a Republican

    re-examine my beliefs through the lens of a changing world.

    You know, Headley, I was a Republican until around '08. Actually, I
    had been experiencing cognitive dissonance for a couple of years;
    however, I believed strongly in John McCain and supported him
    fervently in the primaries... then, for reasons unknown, he selected
    Sarah Palin as his V.P. candidate. I simply could no longer support
    the Republican platform; they had become too devisive. Fiscally, I'm
    still a conservative, but the political "conservatives" no longer call
    for a balanced budget.

    Hate to admit it, but that's also part of our current inflation and is
    the primary driver for wage increases. The supply of cheap labor
    coming in from the south is drying up. You don't expect Americans to
    wash dishes or perform other unskilled labor for $10 an hour under the
    table, do you?

    If they're not on the dole, hell yeah I do.

    I don't and neither do they. Btw, businesses who've been able to
    leverage illegal immigration into depressed wages for decades are
    getting a wake up call. That is, you have your wish. The number of
    illegals in and entering the country has dropped. This is having the
    effect of driving wages up so businesses are raising prices to pay for
    it.

    has been debunked by anonymous secret service agents willing to
    testify under oath that it never happened... and that's a fact!

    Miguel de Cervantes famously has his character, Don Quixote, state:
    "Facts are the enemy of truth." This statement has been much didacted
    and analysed by the world's philosophers. (And *that* is also a fact;

    I'm a teacher, Headley... albeit, a *retired* teacher. I wanted to be
    a teacher back in the '50s because teachers received a textbook with
    the answers to life's questions printed marginally in red font.
    Later, I would learn that life isn't so simple, and I never found my
    book with all the answers.

    I see, however, that you have found yours: "If it's a Republican
    political marker, it's good; if it was enacted by a Democrat, it's
    bad." I envy the simplicity of your life, Headley. You don't labor
    under the need to think critically. I wish *I* never had to
    re-examine my beliefs through the lens of a changing world.

    What I stated above are facts, whether we believe in them or not.

    I never suggested they weren't. Usenet is *nothing* if not rife with "authorities" who believe in all manner of "facts". Respected public
    figures have been acknowledging that pilots and others have spotted
    flying objects that they couldn't identify... i.e.: UFOs. OTOH, it
    has been debunked by anonymous secret service agents willing to
    testify under oath that it never happened... and that's a fact!

    Then you should have no trouble providing a citation.

    Miguel de Cervantes famously has his character, Don Quixote, state:
    "Facts are the enemy of truth." This statement has been much didacted
    and analysed by the world's philosophers. (And *that* is also a fact;
    Google the quote!) I could write a book on what some authorities
    believe he meant. What *I* believe he meant was that the best way to obfuscate the truth is to bury it in facts.

    Neither party has shown any inclination to balance the budget. In the
    early to mid '70s, we found that we could finance the government by
    selling treasury bonds. I didn't like Jimmy Carter's politics, but he
    was right on that matter! Essentially, the Democratic party threw him
    under the bus, mostly over that. The real deficit spender (as a
    percent of the GNP) was Reagan. Neither of the Bushs took it on and
    Clinton just got lucky... he didn't buy *down* the debt any, mind you.

    I liked Obama, but he was close to Reagan in deficit spending. Trump
    also spent like a drunken sailor.

    At the end of the day, the books all balance.

    The stimulus payments (started by Trump; however, Biden didn't exactly
    trip over himself to end it) were *pure* deficit... I blame that for
    the inflation; you cannot print free money! I guess it *stimulated*

    Biden asked for more border money for his 2023 budget and Senate
    Republicans complained.

    "Senate Republicans balk on funds related to Biden’s border move
    Officials say daily migrant encounters could triple after the
    rescission of the Title 42 policy"

    "Republicans largely aren’t interested in additional government
    resources to manage any expected increase of migrants on the
    U.S.-Mexico border if the Biden administration follows through on a
    plan to stop pandemic-era border expulsions next month." https://rollcall.com/2022/04/27/senate-republicans-balk-on-funds-related-to-bidens-border-move/

    "President Joe Biden proposed the second budget of his term today...

    "Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), another component of DHS, will
    receive 13% more funding than 2021, with the administration’s request
    of $15.3 billion to hire an additional 300 Border Patrol agents and
    300 officials to process the paperwork and applications of
    undocumented people entering the country at the southwest border." https://www.boundless.com/blog/biden-requests-56-7-billion-dhs-2023-budget/

    2022 final spending in the omnibus bill approved by Congress was down
    as reported by the NY Post back in March. https://nypost.com/2022/03/17/biden-cuts-border-funding-as-his-policies-are-about-to-overwhelm-it/

    So, Biden signs an omnibus bill that reduces border security spending
    and Republicans complain.

    Biden asks for an increase in border security spending for next year
    and Republicans complain.

    No, he didn't. That said, only two Presidents have balanced a budget
    since the crash of '29. Johnson and Clinton, both Democrats.

    I liked Obama, but he was close to Reagan in deficit spending.

    Obama's deficits were a direct result of revenue loss due to the
    economy collapsing under Bush compounded by stimulus spending. His
    deficits dropped every year he was in office. Deficit spending surged
    under Trump even before the pandemic.

    Trump
    also spent like a drunken sailor.

    At the end of the day, the books all balance.

    The stimulus payments (started by Trump; however, Biden didn't exactly
    trip over himself to end it) were *pure* deficit... I blame that for
    the inflation; you cannot print free money! I guess it *stimulated*
    the economy, huh?

    The 2008 era stimulus payments didn't result in inflation though.

    There's more to inflation than stimulus money. Wages are rising as
    workers demand more pay and these costs have to be passed on to
    consumers. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has disrupted world food and
    petroleum supplies which has driven inflation. Pent up demand from
    2020 combined with saved money (income not spent in 2020) sparked
    tremendous growth and inflation from the end of 2020.

    Rightists forget that inflation had been going on for a couple of
    years before Biden won. They also ignore that gasoline began to go up
    within days of the election.

    I figured the oil companies wanted to punish the voters for electing a Democrat.

    Likely so; however, "we, the people" are ultimately responsible for
    the actions of our elected leaders, and "we" haven't been rigorous
    about holding our leaders accountable for fiscal responsibility. We
    must be *able* to sell T-notes to keep running during those times of

    or so), our budget should balance.

    In that area, congress is actually the responsible entity. The POTUS
    has some leverage, but it's congress that generates the budget. Also, congressional reps tend to serve longer terms than the POTUS.

    Ultimately, the responsibility rests with the voters. Politicians
    *love* to cut taxes during an election year. Bush (43) was very bad
    about that: first, (while waving the flag) he invaded Afghanistan,
    then he cut taxes, then he mailed out free money. You really can't
    blame Obama when the bottom fell out around '08.

    The president gets the economy for better or for worse, but a

    "Senate Republicans balk on funds related to Biden’s border move
    Officials say daily migrant encounters could triple after the
    rescission of the Title 42 policy"

    "Republicans largely aren’t interested in additional government
    resources to manage any expected increase of migrants on the

    plan to stop pandemic-era border expulsions next month." >>https://rollcall.com/2022/04/27/senate-republicans-balk-on-funds-related-to-bidens-border-move/

    "President Joe Biden proposed the second budget of his term today...

    "Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), another component of DHS, will
    receive 13% more funding than 2021, with the administration’s request
    of $15.3 billion to hire an additional 300 Border Patrol agents and

    and Republicans complain.

    Biden asks for an increase in border security spending for next year
    and Republicans complain.

    Most people have given Willis a pass once his news came out. One

    But as Dictat . . . er, President, he also has powers of discretion.
    Not that I agree with an illegally open border, I want to see it
    legally open.

    Illegal immigration has been declining or flat since 2007 while the
    illegal immigrant population has declined. Mexican immigrants are no
    longer the majority of illegals in this country.
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    That's ancient history; there's a new sheriff in town--

    "In the absence of a border deterrence policy, illegal entries have soared. >> Border Patrol agents at the southwest border apprehended a record number of >> illegal entrants in fiscal year 2021 and set a new monthly record for

    You know, if you had bothered to read the link I posted, you would
    find that information in there.

    https://nypost.com/2022/06/30/biden-has-no-policy-to-deter-illegal-immigration-but-fight-isnt-over-yet/

    Hate to admit it, but that's also part of our current inflation and is
    the primary driver for wage increases. The supply of cheap labor
    coming in from the south is drying up. You don't expect Americans to
    wash dishes or perform other unskilled labor for $10 an hour under the
    table, do you?

    If they're not on the dole, hell yeah I do.

    I don't and neither do they....

    Then how are they surviving?

    ... Btw, businesses who've been able to leverage illegal immigration into depressed wages for decades are getting a wake up call. That is, you have your wish. The number of illegals in and entering the country has dropped....

    Bullshit.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are raising prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Bullshit.

    Take an aspirin. I'm about to reference you to some facts and I know
    how painful that might be.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/ft_2021-04-13_unauthorizedimmigration_01/4

    From this article: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    Which contains facts like the below.
    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and
    Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017,
    there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for
    these countries."

    Iow, the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from outside Mexico who
    have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    Then there's this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/

    Has there been a surge in the past couple of months, yes and the
    reason for it is unfilled jobs; the current US labor shortage.

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to
    illegals, illegal immigration will stop.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are raising >> prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been
    lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying
    about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in
    America.

    GM is making half as many cars now as it did in 1963 but is doing it
    with a third as many workers.

    I'm guessing you haven't seen all the Bruce Willis movies that have gone
    straight to DVD in the past two or three years.

    Most people have given Willis a pass once his news came out....

    Most in the media have given Biden a pass once his senility became undeniable.

    ... One theory is he was trying to get as much money as possible for his family before he was forced to retire.

    What a coincidence!

    At the border, a widely predicted crisis that caught Biden off guard

    By Nick Miroff
    April 26, 2021 at 3:04 p.m. EDT

    "While there is high support for President Biden's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the new president has enjoyed higher approval ratings than his predecessor, there are widespread worries about his management of the U.S. southern border, which has been his worst polling issue.

    "As experts had warned for months, a massive influx of migrants has arrived at the border in recent weeks, including a record number of teenagers and children traveling without their parents who need to be sheltered for weeks. Last month, 172,331 migrants were taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the highest total in nearly 20 years...."

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to

    Then Congress should expand and streamline the H2-A program.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are raising >>> prices to pay for it.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been
    lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying
    about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in
    America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to
    illegals, illegal immigration will stop.

    Then Congress should expand and streamline the H2-A program.

    Wow. So finally, FINALLY you guys, after covid and in the midst of
    the current labor shortage have decided that we DO need a flood of
    cheap labor from outside our borders. Took you forty years to figure
    it out but, wtf, you know it now.

    So, it's now up to you cons to convince your congress critters to
    adjust immigration policy to allow a LEGAL cheap labor force to work
    here. I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few
    construction contractors, hoteliers and farmers. Then again, throwing
    a few employers in prison for a while might be just enough to wake up
    the Congress to the need for LEGAL immigration on a MASSIVE scale.
    That'll keep apples from going to $5 each and keep lettuce and
    strawberries under $20 a pound.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are raising
    prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been
    lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying
    about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in
    America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    That's because the economy has grown, among other things. There is no
    "simple" answer to anything as much as you might wish there was.

    Lots of reasons for it but one is people are tired of being used for
    shit wages by employers. The unions are broken and the US labor force
    has begun to realize THEY are the ones who're paying for that
    Republican priority.

    Pot. Kettle. Black. Reagan was the most accomplished liar ever to
    occupy the White House. He was an ACTOR BY TRADE. Yet the right
    believed him. He signed an amnesty but they still believed he was
    tough on immigration. The right credits him with ending the Cold War.
    It was the Democrats who did that and it was Bush, not Reagan who
    presided over the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    Gringos are taking better paying and more highly skilled jobs. This

    When we copy the entire thread, it quickly becomes tediously long and incoherently garbled. Include only that to which you actually reply
    and write on point.

    My point: Would you accept all citizens being required to pass the naturalization test in order to buy a gun or ammunition? I'll support

    gun ownership.

    From this article:
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    Which contains facts like the below.
    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and
    Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017,
    there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for
    these countries."
    Iow, the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from outside Mexico who
    have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    Read it again, for comprehension this time.

    You should be doing that. I already have.

    You failed. Your conclusion that "the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from
    outside Mexico who have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans" is false.

    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and Central America accounted for almost 90% of ***overstays***, and in 2017, there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension ***for these countries.***"

    Then there's this:
    https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/

    Has there been a surge in the past couple of months, yes and the
    reason for it is unfilled jobs; the current US labor shortage.

    It's been more than the last couple of months. Try since the end of 2020,
    after months of Democrat governors shutting down their states.

    Biden has not indicated how he might handle a new influx of tens of

    At the border, a widely predicted crisis that caught Biden off guard

    By Nick Miroff
    April 26, 2021 at 3:04 p.m. EDT

    "While there is high support for President Biden's handling of the
    coronavirus pandemic and the new president has enjoyed higher approval
    ratings than his predecessor, there are widespread worries about his
    management of the U.S. southern border, which has been his worst polling
    issue.

    "As experts had warned for months, a massive influx of migrants has arrived >> at the border in recent weeks, including a record number of teenagers and
    children traveling without their parents who need to be sheltered for weeks. >> Last month, 172,331 migrants were taken into custody by U.S. Customs and
    Border Protection, the highest total in nearly 20 years...."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/biden-border-timeline/2021/04/26/a5550aa4-a2a8-11eb-8a6d-f1b55f463112_story.html

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    What percentage were sent back? What portion weren't caught?

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to
    illegals, illegal immigration will stop.

    Then Congress should expand and streamline the H2-A program.

    Wow. So finally, FINALLY you guys, after covid and in the midst of
    the current labor shortage have decided that we DO need a flood of
    cheap labor from outside our borders. Took you forty years to figure
    it out but, wtf, you know it now.

    The H-2A and H-2B date back to 1986, some 36 years ago. From WWII until 1964, there was the bracero program.

    It seems agriculture has had this figured for quite a while.

    So, it's now up to you cons to convince your congress critters to
    adjust immigration policy to allow a LEGAL cheap labor force to work
    here....

    The dims will need to ignore their labor pals who oppose expanding the labor pool.

    ... I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few construction contractors, hoteliers and farmers....

    They don't lock them up, they just fine their pants off, sometimes to the point that business dies.

    ... Then again, throwing a few employers in prison for a while might be just enough to wake up the Congress to the need for LEGAL immigration on a MASSIVE scale. That'll keep apples from going to $5 each and keep lettuce and strawberries under $20 a pound.

    They won't get *that* high, but they'll be coming from Canada, Chile, South Africa, or China.

    "When you bitch about farmers, don't talk with your mouth full."

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are
    raising prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been
    lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying
    about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in
    America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    That's because the economy has grown, among other things....

    Has it surpassed where it was in 2019?

    Yeah, it was, whether you like it or not. The Democrats owned the

    From this article:
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    Which contains facts like the below.
    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and
    Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017,
    there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for
    these countries."
    Iow, the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from outside Mexico who >>>> have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    Read it again, for comprehension this time.

    You should be doing that. I already have.

    You quoted it and didn't even read it. The bulk of illegals in this
    country ARE OVERSTAYS not border jumpers. Geez, you'd think even a
    racist xenophobe might get a fact right once in a while.

    "The report released Wednesday by the Center for Migration Studies of
    New York finds that from 2016-2017, people who overstayed their visas
    accounted for 62 percent of the newly undocumented, while 38 percent
    had crossed a border illegally.

    "It is clear from our research that persons who overstay their visas
    add to the US undocumented population at a higher rate than border
    crossers. This is not a blip, but a trend which has become the norm,"
    said Donald Kerwin, CMS' executive director, in a statement. "As these
    numbers indicate, construction of hundreds of more miles of border
    wall would not address the challenge of irregular migration into our
    country, far from it."

    The study also finds that the undocumented population from Mexico fell
    by almost 400,000 people in 2017 and that since 2010, the number of undocumented from that country fell by 1.3 million." https://www.npr.org/2019/01/16/686056668/for-seventh-consecutive-year-visa-overstays-exceeded-illegal-border-crossings

    "When police approached 22-year-old Xiangyu Zhang at a gas station
    near his home in La Marque, Texas, last July, they found him sitting
    in his vehicle with two loaded rifles, including an AM-15
    semiautomatic. Zhang, an undocumented immigrant from China, had
    threatened in an online chatroom for troubled military veterans to
    shoot schoolchildren, and in December he pleaded guilty to possessing
    a firearm while in the country without papers.

    Zhang lived undocumented in the United States for two years, but he
    didn’t arrive illegally by walking across the border from Mexico. He
    entered legally, holding a temporary visa, and when the visa expired,
    Zhang stayed, becoming one of hundreds of thousands of foreign
    nationals who in recent years have overstayed visas and are now living
    in the country illegally." https://rollcall.com/2019/02/01/border-wall-debate-ignores-biggest-source-of-illegal-immigration-visa-overstays/

    You failed. Your conclusion that "the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from
    outside Mexico who have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and >Europeans" is false.

    You are mistaken. It's in the article. It's in *many* articles. The
    bulk of illegals are overstays from countries outside Latin America.

    Zhang stayed, becoming one of hundreds of thousands of foreign
    nationals who in recent years have overstayed visas and are now living
    in the country illegally.

    President Donald Trump has argued that building a wall on the
    U.S.-Mexico border is the only way to stop illegal immigration.
    Without a wall, he said during a Jan. 10 visit to McAllen, Texas,
    there would be “death. A lot of death.”

    But the fact is that ***more illegal immigration stems from visa
    overstays than illegal border crossings***. In fiscal 2017, for
    instance, the most recent year for which both metrics are available,
    the Border Patrol apprehended just over 310,000 undocumented border
    crossers. But more than 700,000 foreigners overstayed visas (out of a
    possible 52.7 million people issued temporary visas for tourism,
    business, education, etc.), according to the Homeland Security
    Department, and more than 85 percent of them were thought still in the
    United States at the year’s close.

    This hasn’t always been the case. For instance, the government is
    catching far fewer immigrants at the border today than throughout the
    1990s and early 2000s, when apprehension totals regularly eclipsed 1
    million. But a 2017 report by the nonpartisan Center for Migration
    Studies estimates the overstay population has outnumbered
    border-crossers every year since 2007.

    About 4.5 million of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the
    United States, or 42 percent of the total undocumented population,
    overstayed visas, according to the report.

    “That percentage will continue to increase as long as ***overstaying
    continues to be the predominant mode of arrival*** into the
    undocumented population,” the report said.

    and

    "Robert Warren, a senior visiting fellow at the Center who led the
    Immigration and Naturalization Service’s statistics division for nine
    years, said another option is to crack down on companies that hire
    undocumented workers, which would remove the financial incentive for
    staying in the country illegally.

    “People will overstay if they can come and work here,” he said. “The
    number of overstays has always been there. It’s not a new
    phenomenon.”" https://rollcall.com/2019/02/01/border-wall-debate-ignores-biggest-source-of-illegal-immigration-visa-overstays/

    "President Trump has focused on blocking unauthorized crossings on the
    Southern border. But nearly half of those who are in the country
    unlawfully actually entered with permission." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/01/us/undocumented-visa-overstays.html

    "The Pew report put the share of visa overstayers at "as much as 45
    percent of the total unauthorized migrant population." The study,
    however, used data more than two decades old from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, an agency that doesn’t exist anymore and whose functions were folded into the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."

    and

    "That report estimated visa overstays in 2014 accounted for 42 percent
    of the total undocumented population, or about 4.5 million people. It
    also projected that overstays made up about two-thirds of the total
    number of people who became unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. that
    year." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/aug/24/kevin-mccarthy/mostly-true-visa-overstays-account-half-all-people/

    Has there been a surge in the past couple of months, yes and the
    reason for it is unfilled jobs; the current US labor shortage.

    Have you got it yet?

    "As experts had warned for months, a massive influx of migrants has arrived >>> at the border in recent weeks, including a record number of teenagers and >>> children traveling without their parents who need to be sheltered for weeks.
    Last month, 172,331 migrants were taken into custody by U.S. Customs and >>> Border Protection, the highest total in nearly 20 years...."

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    What percentage were sent back? What portion weren't caught?

    While it's hard to know for sure, here are some educated guesses from
    various students of immigration.

    "The department found that between 55 to 85 percent immigrants
    crossing the border illegally were apprehended or interdicted in 2016.
    That’s an increase from a decade ago, when the rate was between 35 to
    70 percent."

    and

    ""It does seem like the majority of people who are crossing the border
    now are doing it to turn themselves in (seeking asylum)," he said."
    [This means far fewer are crossing undetected - they *want* to get
    caught, they're *counting on it*.] https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jan/11/does-border-patrol-catch-90-percent-immigrants-cro/

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to
    illegals, illegal immigration will stop.

    Then Congress should expand and streamline the H2-A program.

    Wow. So finally, FINALLY you guys, after covid and in the midst of
    the current labor shortage have decided that we DO need a flood of
    cheap labor from outside our borders. Took you forty years to figure
    it out but, wtf, you know it now.

    The H-2A and H-2B date back to 1986, some 36 years ago.

    Oh, yeah, Reagan's amnesty program. Too bad the quotas were set so
    low. The numbers need to be increased GREATLY.

    From WWII until 1964,
    there was the bracero program.

    It seems agriculture has had this figured for quite a while.

    Apparently it's been *un*figured out now. Btw, there used to be a lot
    of Jamaican workers come in to harvest Florida 'cane but now they use
    automated systems.

    So, it's now up to you cons to convince your congress critters to
    adjust immigration policy to allow a LEGAL cheap labor force to work
    here....

    The dims will need to ignore their labor pals who oppose expanding the labor >pool.

    The libs don't matter. They'll be getting their asses kicked this
    fall and besides, you know full well that anything that allows more
    immigrants in is likely to be supported by Democrats. It's
    Republicans who'll drag their feet on any attempt to increase the
    number of legal immigrants.

    ... I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few construction
    contractors, hoteliers and farmers....

    They don't lock them up, they just fine their pants off, sometimes to the point
    that business dies.

    They don't do it enough. Jobs are still being offerred to the
    undocumented and they continue to come here. If they were any good at
    running their business, they wouldn't need to resort to illegals in
    the first place so their would be no business killing fines.

    That said, "Man, Frank got caught hiring wetback mowers. The fine was
    so heavy it put him out of business." "Yeah, I know, I picked up six
    of his commercial clients and several dozen homeowners. Frank's
    working for me as a crew supervisor now."

    ... Then again, throwing a few employers in prison for a while might be just
    enough to wake up the Congress to the need for LEGAL immigration on a MASSIVE
    scale. That'll keep apples from going to $5 each and keep lettuce and
    strawberries under $20 a pound.

    They won't get *that* high, but they'll be coming from Canada, Chile, South >Africa, or China.

    I know, but those prices aren't the fantasy you think they are.
    Illegals work for pay rates that run below minimum wage. You really
    think anybody in your neighborhood is going to spend their day
    climbing ladders in the hot sun to pick fruit? Or bending over all
    day to cut lettuce? All for $7 an hour?

    "When you bitch about farmers, don't talk with your mouth full."

    Firstly, if you think I'm bitching about farmers, you aren't paying
    attention. The farmers whether John and Betty or Cargill are doing
    what they need to do. My point is they need help from the government
    to make what they're doing, LEGAL,

    Secondly, Archer Daniels Midland doesn't need defending.
    "Large-scale family farms and industrial nonfamily farms account for
    only 4.8% of farms, but 57.4% of production (in $). ***Small-scale
    family farms represent nearly 90% of U.S. farms, but only 21.5% of production."*** https://css.umich.edu/publications/factsheets/food/us-food-system-factsheet

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are >>>>>> raising prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been
    lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying >>>> about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in
    America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    That's because the economy has grown, among other things....

    Has it surpassed where it was in 2019?

    Yes, by about 1.5 trillion. 2019 21.43T: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=us+economy+size+2019

    Actually, I was mistaken. The labor shortage was on before covid. It
    wasn't a "major issue" because the administration was too busy
    bragging about economic boom and full employment. And with a current
    rate of around 3.6% unemployed, we're officially in full employment
    territory. No surprise there's a shortage.

    I don't think unemployment has ever been this low. https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm Swill

    From this article:
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    Which contains facts like the below.
    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and
    Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017,
    there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for
    these countries."
    Iow, the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from outside Mexico who >>>>> have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    Read it again, for comprehension this time.

    You should be doing that. I already have.

    You quoted it and didn't even read it. The bulk of illegals in this
    country ARE OVERSTAYS not border jumpers. Geez, you'd think even a
    racist xenophobe might get a fact right once in a while.

    That's all irrelevant to your claim that "The number of illegals in and entering
    the country has dropped."

    According to DHS Entry/Exit Overstay Report for FY2020, we had 584,885 Suspected
    In-Country Overstays for the fiscal year. In May, 2022, we had 239,416 Southwest
    land border encounters... in ONE month.

    www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

    Then there's this:
    https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/

    Has there been a surge in the past couple of months, yes and the
    reason for it is unfilled jobs; the current US labor shortage.

    Have you got it yet?

    Yeah. It's all our fault.

    "As experts had warned for months, a massive influx of migrants has arrived
    at the border in recent weeks, including a record number of teenagers and >>>> children traveling without their parents who need to be sheltered for
    weeks. Last month, 172,331 migrants were taken into custody by U.S.
    Customs and Border Protection, the highest total in nearly 20 years...."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/biden-border-timeline/2021/04/26/a5550aa4-a2a8-11eb-8a6d-f1b55f463112_story.html

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    What percentage were sent back?...



    [crickets]



    ... What portion weren't caught?

    While it's hard to know for sure, here are some educated guesses from
    various students of immigration.

    "The department found that between 55 to 85 percent immigrants
    crossing the border illegally were apprehended or interdicted in 2016.
    That's an increase from a decade ago, when the rate was between 35 to
    70 percent."

    and

    ""It does seem like the majority of people who are crossing the border
    now are doing it to turn themselves in (seeking asylum)," he said."
    [This means far fewer are crossing undetected - they *want* to get
    caught, they're *counting on it*.] https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jan/11/does-border-patrol-catch-90-percent-immigrants-cro/

    This from two months into the Soros administration--

    "Nearly 1,000 people per day are sneaking into the United States without being identified or taken into custody because U.S. border agents are busy attending to migrant families and unaccompanied children while also trying to stop soaring
    numbers of male adults, according to three U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials familiar with the data...."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/got-aways-border/2021/04/01/14258a1e-9302-11eb-9af7-fd0822ae4398_story.html

    I explained already that if employers will stop giving jobs to
    illegals, illegal immigration will stop.

    Then Congress should expand and streamline the H2-A program.

    Wow. So finally, FINALLY you guys, after covid and in the midst of
    the current labor shortage have decided that we DO need a flood of
    cheap labor from outside our borders. Took you forty years to figure
    it out but, wtf, you know it now.

    The H-2A and H-2B date back to 1986, some 36 years ago.

    Oh, yeah, Reagan's amnesty program. Too bad the quotas were set so
    low. The numbers need to be increased GREATLY.

    From WWII until 1964,
    there was the bracero program.

    It seems agriculture has had this figured for quite a while.

    Apparently it's been *un*figured out now. Btw, there used to be a lot
    of Jamaican workers come in to harvest Florida 'cane but now they use automated systems.

    So, it's now up to you cons to convince your congress critters to
    adjust immigration policy to allow a LEGAL cheap labor force to work
    here....

    The dims will need to ignore their labor pals who oppose expanding the labor >> pool.

    The libs don't matter. They'll be getting their asses kicked this
    fall and besides, you know full well that anything that allows more immigrants in is likely to be supported by Democrats. It's
    Republicans who'll drag their feet on any attempt to increase the
    number of legal immigrants.

    Maybe because they remember Reagan got backstabbed when he agreed to an amnesty program *before* the border was secured.

    ... I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few construction >>> contractors, hoteliers and farmers....

    They don't lock them up, they just fine their pants off, sometimes to the
    point that business dies.

    They don't do it enough. Jobs are still being offerred to the
    undocumented and they continue to come here. If they were any good at running their business, they wouldn't need to resort to illegals in
    the first place so their would be no business killing fines.

    That sounds eerily like Hillary's response to critics of her healthcare reform plan in 1994.

    ... Then again, throwing a few employers in prison for a while might be >>> just enough to wake up the Congress to the need for LEGAL immigration on a >>> MASSIVE scale. That'll keep apples from going to $5 each and keep lettuce >>> and strawberries under $20 a pound.

    They won't get *that* high, but they'll be coming from Canada, Chile, South >> Africa, or China.

    I know, but those prices aren't the fantasy you think they are.
    Illegals work for pay rates that run below minimum wage. You really
    think anybody in your neighborhood is going to spend their day
    climbing ladders in the hot sun to pick fruit? Or bending over all
    day to cut lettuce? All for $7 an hour?

    My last harvest, they spent their days climbing ladders in the October sun picking fruit. Most made $25-30 an hour.

    "When you bitch about farmers, don't talk with your mouth full."

    Firstly, if you think I'm bitching about farmers, you aren't paying attention. The farmers whether John and Betty or Cargill are doing
    what they need to do. My point is they need help from the government
    to make what they're doing, LEGAL,

    We know that.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are >>>>>>> raising prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been >>>>> lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying >>>>> about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in >>>>> America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    That's because the economy has grown, among other things....

    Has it surpassed where it was in 2019?

    Yes, by about 1.5 trillion. 2019 21.43T: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=us+economy+size+2019

    2021 23T: https://www.google.com/search?q=us+economy+size+2021&client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=ALiCzsY4YrlOwQ2soIuZ9Xrgzbr4wp-rhA%3A1657492671346&ei=v1TLYs_hFIPWkvQPvoeQyAE&ved=0ahUKEwiPvZKvse_4AhUDq4QIHb4DBBkQ4dUDCA0&uact=5&oq=us+economy+size+2021&gs_lcp=

    Inflation.

    Actually, I was mistaken. The labor shortage was on before covid. It
    wasn't a "major issue" because the administration was too busy
    bragging about economic boom and full employment. And with a current
    rate of around 3.6% unemployed, we're officially in full employment territory. No surprise there's a shortage.

    I don't think unemployment has ever been this low. https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm
    Swill

    And yet the labor force participation rate is below what it was before covid. There were 158,866,000 Americans in February, 2020, (the highest ever) compared to 158,111,000 last month.

    From this article:
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/13/key-facts-about-the-changing-u-s-unauthorized-immigrant-population/

    Which contains facts like the below.
    "In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and
    Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017, >>>>>> there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for >>>>>> these countries."
    Iow, the bulk of illegal immigrants are people from outside Mexico who >>>>>> have overstayed their visas. Iow, Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    Read it again, for comprehension this time.

    You should be doing that. I already have.

    You quoted it and didn't even read it. The bulk of illegals in this
    country ARE OVERSTAYS not border jumpers. Geez, you'd think even a
    racist xenophobe might get a fact right once in a while.

    That's all irrelevant to your claim that "The number of illegals in and entering
    the country has dropped."

    According to DHS Entry/Exit Overstay Report for FY2020, we had 584,885 Suspected
    In-Country Overstays for the fiscal year. In May, 2022, we had 239,416 Southwest
    land border encounters... in ONE month.

    www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

    I showed you a graph showing a decline in illegals over the past
    several years. I stipulated that there had been an increase recently
    but that doesn't change the facts that illegal entries have and
    overstays are trending down and that the majority of illegal entries
    are not border crossers but overstayers.

    If you have a problem with those numbers, complain to Pew and
    Washington.

    Then there's this:
    https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/

    Has there been a surge in the past couple of months, yes and the
    reason for it is unfilled jobs; the current US labor shortage.

    Have you got it yet?

    Yeah. It's all our fault.

    Yes, actually, it is. If our immigration and guest worker policies
    more accurately reflected our cheap labor needs, illegal immigration
    would diminish. Further, if employers were penalized for offering
    jobs to undocumented workers, illegal immigration would stop.

    "As experts had warned for months, a massive influx of migrants has arrived
    at the border in recent weeks, including a record number of teenagers and >>>>> children traveling without their parents who need to be sheltered for >>>>> weeks. Last month, 172,331 migrants were taken into custody by U.S.
    Customs and Border Protection, the highest total in nearly 20 years...."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/biden-border-timeline/2021/04/26/a5550aa4-a2a8-11eb-8a6d-f1b55f463112_story.html

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    What percentage were sent back?...

    ... What portion weren't caught?

    While it's hard to know for sure, here are some educated guesses from
    various students of immigration.

    "The department found that between 55 to 85 percent immigrants
    crossing the border illegally were apprehended or interdicted in 2016.
    That's an increase from a decade ago, when the rate was between 35 to
    70 percent."

    and

    ""It does seem like the majority of people who are crossing the border
    now are doing it to turn themselves in (seeking asylum)," he said."
    [This means far fewer are crossing undetected - they *want* to get
    caught, they're *counting on it*.]
    https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jan/11/does-border-patrol-catch-90-percent-immigrants-cro/

    This from two months into the Soros administration--

    "Nearly 1,000 people per day are sneaking into the United States without being >identified or taken into custody because U.S. border agents are busy attending >to migrant families and unaccompanied children while also trying to stop soaring
    numbers of male adults, according to three U.S. Customs and Border Protection >officials familiar with the data...."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/got-aways-border/2021/04/01/14258a1e-9302-11eb-9af7-fd0822ae4398_story.html

    And this number is LESS than it was ten and fifteen years ago.

    The libs don't matter. They'll be getting their asses kicked this
    fall and besides, you know full well that anything that allows more
    immigrants in is likely to be supported by Democrats. It's
    Republicans who'll drag their feet on any attempt to increase the
    number of legal immigrants.

    Maybe because they remember Reagan got backstabbed when he agreed to an amnesty
    program *before* the border was secured.

    It was Reagen did the backstabbing. He had the Senate and a complaint Democratic House. The Democrats wanted employer penalties, the
    Republicans refused.

    ... I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few construction >>>> contractors, hoteliers and farmers....

    They don't lock them up, they just fine their pants off, sometimes to the >>> point that business dies.

    They don't do it enough. Jobs are still being offerred to the
    undocumented and they continue to come here. If they were any good at
    running their business, they wouldn't need to resort to illegals in
    the first place so their would be no business killing fines.

    That sounds eerily like Hillary's response to critics of her healthcare reform >plan in 1994.

    She thought healthcare was a problem of small business failures?

    I know, but those prices aren't the fantasy you think they are.
    Illegals work for pay rates that run below minimum wage. You really
    think anybody in your neighborhood is going to spend their day
    climbing ladders in the hot sun to pick fruit? Or bending over all
    day to cut lettuce? All for $7 an hour?

    My last harvest, they spent their days climbing ladders in the October sun >picking fruit. Most made $25-30 an hour.

    "When you bitch about farmers, don't talk with your mouth full."

    Firstly, if you think I'm bitching about farmers, you aren't paying
    attention. The farmers whether John and Betty or Cargill are doing
    what they need to do. My point is they need help from the government
    to make what they're doing, LEGAL,

    We know that.

    No, WE don't. You and I might but there are a lot of xenophobes out
    there making this issue more aggravating than it has to be. There
    aren't any Republicans making noise out there about increasing
    immigration. The last of those voices were stifled by the Tea Party
    and Trump.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are >>>>>>>> raising prices to pay for it.

    It's also speeding up development of automation for unskilled jobs.

    Yes it is. In fact, in some industries more jobs in the US have been >>>>>> lost to automation than to offshore producers. And despite the crying >>>>>> about job loss to overseas labor, there is STILL a labor shortage in >>>>>> America.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    That's because the economy has grown, among other things....

    Has it surpassed where it was in 2019?

    Yes, by about 1.5 trillion. 2019 21.43T:

    Inflation.

    Doesn't explain how 6.4 million jobs being added in 2021, well over 2
    million year to date or 372,000 jobs added in June alone. Not sure
    that recession is coming yet but labor is a lagging indicator . . .

    Actually, I was mistaken. The labor shortage was on before covid. It
    wasn't a "major issue" because the administration was too busy
    bragging about economic boom and full employment. And with a current
    rate of around 3.6% unemployed, we're officially in full employment
    territory. No surprise there's a shortage.

    I don't think unemployment has ever been this low.
    https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm
    Swill

    And yet the labor force participation rate is below what it was before covid. >There were 158,866,000 Americans in February, 2020, (the highest ever) compared
    to 158,111,000 last month.

    That number only counts those receiving unemployment or registered
    with a DOL job search. I don't know about anybody else, but I've
    never gotten a job through the DoL. Their listings have been useless
    to me.

    The current jobless rate is the lowest in 50 years and that pisses you
    off because a Democrat is in the White House.

    It was no different in the nineties. Conservative think tank Heritage developed a universal health coverage system that (like Switzerland's

    health care model passed in Washington, the GOP flatly refused to

    Republicans whine and wail and gnash their teeth over border security
    and then when a DEMOCRAT asks for more money for border security, the
    refuse so they can right back to complaining that the Democrats don't
    do enough to ensure border security.

    How so?

    The SCOTUS has struck down literacy or "poll" tests.

    Definition 2c

    Literate

    (Entry 1 of 2)
    1a : educated, cultured literate executives
    b : able to read and write What percentage of the population is
    literate?
    2a : versed in literature or creative writing : literary literate
    novelists
    b : lucid, polished a literate essay
    c : having knowledge or competence (see competent sense 2)

    To some extent. The federal and state departments of education control much

    No matter how you slice and dice it, the correct answer to your

    And when the voters send someone to D.C. to "drain the swamp", the swamp fights

    Except the voters make it a habit of voting incumbents back in. What
    few new ones get elected get muddy in the swamp. Ask the voters what
    they think about Congress and they think it sucks, 'but my guy is ok
    so I voted for him again'. When everybody follows that philosophy,
    change can't happen.

    And when parents assemble and seek a redress of grievances with their local >>school boards, the FBI is called.

    Which proves my point. When the Democrats attempt to follow policies
    the Republicans have supported in the past, the GOP makes up reasons
    to complain.

    It was no different in the nineties. Conservative think tank Heritage >developed a universal health coverage system that (like Switzerland's

    passed in Massachusetts. But when Obama tried to get exactly the same
    health care model passed in Washington, the GOP flatly refused to
    consider it.

    Republicans whine and wail and gnash their teeth over border security
    and then when a DEMOCRAT asks for more money for border security, the
    refuse so they can right back to complaining that the Democrats don't
    do enough to ensure border security.

    This had little to do with actual security.


    Cite.

    To some extent. The federal and state departments of education control much

    No matter how you slice and dice it, the correct answer to your

    And when the voters send someone to D.C. to "drain the swamp", the swamp
    fights back.

    Except the voters make it a habit of voting incumbents back in. What
    few new ones get elected get muddy in the swamp. Ask the voters what
    they think about Congress and they think it sucks, 'but my guy is ok
    so I voted for him again'. When everybody follows that philosophy,
    change can't happen.

    Tru dat.

    And when parents assemble and seek a redress of grievances with their local >> school boards, the FBI is called.

    No idea what you're talking about.

    Which proves my point. When the Democrats attempt to follow policies
    the Republicans have supported in the past, the GOP makes up reasons
    to complain.

    I doubt the Republicans have supported the immigration policies the Soros administration is pushing.

    It was no different in the nineties. Conservative think tank Heritage developed a universal health coverage system that (like Switzerland's
    and Japan's) utilized private health insurance. Mitt Romney got it
    passed in Massachusetts. But when Obama tried to get exactly the same
    health care model passed in Washington, the GOP flatly refused to
    consider it.

    Republicans whine and wail and gnash their teeth over border security
    and then when a DEMOCRAT asks for more money for border security, the
    refuse so they can right back to complaining that the Democrats don't
    do enough to ensure border security.

    This had little to do with actual security.

    Read it again, for comprehension this time.

    You should be doing that. I already have.

    You quoted it and didn't even read it. The bulk of illegals in this
    country ARE OVERSTAYS not border jumpers. Geez, you'd think even a
    racist xenophobe might get a fact right once in a while.

    That's all irrelevant to your claim that "The number of illegals in and
    entering the country has dropped."

    According to DHS Entry/Exit Overstay Report for FY2020, we had 584,885
    Suspected In-Country Overstays for the fiscal year. In May, 2022, we had
    239,416 Southwest land border encounters... in ONE month.

    www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

    I showed you a graph showing a decline in illegals over the past
    several years....

    The Trump years.

    ... I stipulated that there had been an increase recently
    but that doesn't change the facts that illegal entries have and
    overstays are trending down...

    That was then, this is now.

    "A massive group of hundreds of illegal migrants streamed across the southern border in Texas on Wednesday - marking one of the largest groups to flood into the U.S. in recent months, and a dramatic snapshot of the historic crisis facing
    officials at the southern border.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/massive-group-hundreds-migrants-streams-southern-border-crisis-intensifies

    ... and that the majority of illegal entries are not border crossers but overstayers.

    That's all irrelevant to your claim that "The number of illegals in and entering
    the country has dropped."

    If you have a problem with those numbers, complain to Pew and
    Washington.

    Then there's this:

    Have you got it yet?

    Yes, actually, it is. If our immigration and guest worker policies
    more accurately reflected our cheap labor needs, illegal immigration
    would diminish....

    And if babes stopped wearing tank tops and short shorts, rapes would decline. Or
    that it's my fault that the neighbors are raiding my watermelon patch.

    Maybe the problem isn't American, maybe it's where they came from.

    ... Further, if employers were penalized for offering jobs to undocumented workers, illegal immigration would stop.

    They *are* penalized.

    And there you have it. They were caught and sent back in record
    numbers. By a Democrat.

    What percentage were sent back?...






    [crickets]






    ... What portion weren't caught?

    While it's hard to know for sure, here are some educated guesses from
    various students of immigration.

    "The department found that between 55 to 85 percent immigrants
    crossing the border illegally were apprehended or interdicted in 2016.
    That's an increase from a decade ago, when the rate was between 35 to
    70 percent."

    and

    ""It does seem like the majority of people who are crossing the border
    now are doing it to turn themselves in (seeking asylum)," he said."
    [This means far fewer are crossing undetected - they *want* to get
    caught, they're *counting on it*.]
    https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jan/11/does-border-patrol-catch-90-percent-immigrants-cro/

    This from two months into the Soros administration--

    "Nearly 1,000 people per day are sneaking into the United States without
    being identified or taken into custody because U.S. border agents are busy >> attending to migrant families and unaccompanied children while also trying >> to stop soaring numbers of male adults, according to three U.S. Customs and >> Border Protection officials familiar with the data...."

    And this number is LESS than it was ten and fifteen years ago.

    "Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Wednesday that Customs and Border Protection officials estimate there have been more than 850,000 'got aways' crossing illegally into the United States so far in fiscal 2022, many of them 'criminals.'..."

    The libs don't matter. They'll be getting their asses kicked this
    fall and besides, you know full well that anything that allows more
    immigrants in is likely to be supported by Democrats. It's
    Republicans who'll drag their feet on any attempt to increase the
    number of legal immigrants.

    Maybe because they remember Reagan got backstabbed when he agreed to an
    amnesty program *before* the border was secured.

    It was Reagen did the backstabbing. He had the Senate and a complaint Democratic House. The Democrats wanted employer penalties, the
    Republicans refused.

    The Republicans wanted border security, the Democrats refused. Reagan agreed to amnesty with the understanding that Democrats would agree to increased border security, which they forgot.

    ... I guess that's a better solution than locking up a few construction >>>>> contractors, hoteliers and farmers....

    They don't lock them up, they just fine their pants off, sometimes to the >>>> point that business dies.

    They don't do it enough. Jobs are still being offerred to the
    undocumented and they continue to come here. If they were any good at
    running their business, they wouldn't need to resort to illegals in
    the first place so their would be no business killing fines.

    That sounds eerily like Hillary's response to critics of her healthcare
    reform plan in 1994.

    She thought healthcare was a problem of small business failures?

    As I remember it, when she was testifying before Congress, she was asked if the plan's employer mandate could drive small businesses into failure and her answer
    was the maybe they shouldn't be in business.

    I know, but those prices aren't the fantasy you think they are.
    Illegals work for pay rates that run below minimum wage. You really
    think anybody in your neighborhood is going to spend their day
    climbing ladders in the hot sun to pick fruit? Or bending over all
    day to cut lettuce? All for $7 an hour?

    My last harvest, they spent their days climbing ladders in the October sun >> picking fruit. Most made $25-30 an hour.

    "When you bitch about farmers, don't talk with your mouth full."

    Firstly, if you think I'm bitching about farmers, you aren't paying
    attention. The farmers whether John and Betty or Cargill are doing
    what they need to do. My point is they need help from the government
    to make what they're doing, LEGAL,

    We know that.

    No, WE don't. You and I might but there are a lot of xenophobes out
    there making this issue more aggravating than it has to be. There
    aren't any Republicans making noise out there about increasing
    immigration. The last of those voices were stifled by the Tea Party
    and Trump.

    Because Democrats refuse to secure the borders.

    ... This is having the effect of driving wages up so businesses are >>>>>>>>> raising prices to pay for it.

    Yet this "shortage" wasn't an issue before the pandammit.

    Inflation.

    Doesn't explain how 6.4 million jobs being added in 2021,...

    Which still doesn't bring us back to where we were in February of 2020, before the Democrat governors shut their states down.

    ... well over 2 million year to date or 372,000 jobs added in June alone....

    According to bls.gov, June was 315,000 less than May.

    ... Not sure that recession is coming yet but labor is a lagging indicator .

    It's a pretty safe bet.

    Actually, I was mistaken. The labor shortage was on before covid. It
    wasn't a "major issue" because the administration was too busy
    bragging about economic boom and full employment. And with a current
    rate of around 3.6% unemployed, we're officially in full employment
    territory. No surprise there's a shortage.

    I don't think unemployment has ever been this low.
    https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm
    Swill

    And yet the labor force participation rate is below what it was before covid.
    There were 158,866,000 Americans in February, 2020, (the highest ever)
    compared to 158,111,000 last month.

    That number only counts those receiving unemployment or registered
    with a DOL job search....

    No, I'm pretty sure that's counting payrolls.

    ... I don't know about anybody else, but I've never gotten a job through the DoL. Their listings have been useless to me.

    The current jobless rate is the lowest in 50 years and that pisses you
    off because a Democrat is in the White House....

    Still fewer employed today than in February, 2020.

    Almost. He said, "Ich bin ein Berliner," which means "I am a jelly doughnut." But the Germans understood what he was trying to say. The Soviets didn't because, well, they spoke Russian. It was 24 years later that Reagan made himself clear.

    Ok, maybe we're missing each other in the dark.

    Gringos are taking better paying and more highly skilled jobs....

    Again, why weren't they taking these jobs before the pandammit?

    They were. They are. They have been for decades....

    In 2019, gringos were working these jobs that are unfilled now.

    No, that's a lie.


    Cite.

    Above, the first line you quoted.

    The unfilled jobs locally were formerly filled by gringos.

    Bullshit, o oozing scarlet red maxipad. Stop lying.


    That's not a cite. And there's nothing above it but attributes.

    I'll type s-l-o-w-l-y for you--

    " The unfilled jobs **locally** were formerly filled by gringos.

    They *weren't*, o oozing scarlet red maxipad. "gringos" have not been doing exhausting unpleasant manual labor agricultural jobs for *decades*, o oozing scarlet red maxipad.

    According to RollCall, there was little in the bill about stopping the flow of
    border crossers.

    You *lied* about what was in the "roll call" citation, o oozing scarlet red maxipad.

    Republicans largely aren’t interested in additional government resources to
    manage any expected increase of migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border if the
    Biden administration follows through on a plan to stop pandemic-era border
    expulsions next month.

    Senate Republicans on Tuesday threw cold water on the possibility of
    supplemental funding, which might be used to shore up border patrol
    activities, fund detention centers, or provide food, shelter, and medical
    care for migrants.

    Republicans are rankled in particular by the idea of spending money to
    address the fallout from an administration decision they oppose in the first
    place — even as they criticize the government’s current preparedness.

    There was *lots* in the bill about stopping illegal border crossings, o oozing scarlet red maxipad, you cunt. Republiscums/QAnon opposed it because it reduced
    punishment of asylum seekers. That's the only reason, o oozing scarlet red maxipad.

    Not quite. The empire was already hollowed out. As early as the late nineteenth century the British noble houses were going bankrupt.

    A decade

    Good. Reciting it is stupid. I don't have any allegiance to a goddamned rag of
    colored cloth. No one should. Let's not forget that the republic "for which it
    [flag] stands" is not even *remotely* like what is described in the pledge, thanks to Republiscums/QAnon. We do not have liberty and justice for all, and Republiscums/QAnon want to destroy it for most. We're not indivisible, again due to mostly Republiscum/QAnon sentiment about wanting to split up the country.

    Reciting the pledge or singing the national ditty is stupid. It's American jut-jawed chauvinism (*fake* patriotism) and its disgusting worst. It's also coercive in an ugly way. Try remaining seated at a sporting event while the national ditty is being butchered by some skanky whore, and some Republiscum/QAnon two-digit IQ shitbags will put you in the hospital. That's the proof that this is *not* "the greatest country."

    Patriotism is mostly an ignoble, shit sentiment. The exception is immigrants. They made a conscious choice to move to another country, and it makes sense for them to feel a special affection for that country. For the overwhelming majority of people, citizenship is a mere accident of birth. They should feel neither love nor hatred for the country based on their mere accident of birth. You might love or hate your country based on what it *does* and what it represents. Increasingly, thanks to Republiscums/QAnon, what the U.S. represents is really nasty.

    Your gonna have to explain this to me because all I read is a litany
    of excuses for being obstructionist.

    According to RollCall, there was little in the bill about stopping the flow >>> of border crossers.

    So . . . the best way to handle an increased flow of border crossers
    is to . . . cut border security spending?

    <sigh>

    There's that pinkie malady-- refusing to increase government spending = cutting
    government spending.

    You don't even know what you're talking about. Inflation is present.
    A failure to increase spending IS a spending CUT.

    Why do pinkies blithely accept "an increased flow of border crossers" as >inescapable?

    Border crossers are the least of the problem. More significant are
    the overstayers which topic has been covered before. More illegals
    and getting into the country legally on visas and then overstaying
    them than are getting into the country by illegally crossing a border.

    There's more to border security than just shooting wetbacks as they
    climb out of the water.

    Why?

    Thought so.

    Holy shit! You should be packing the little things you're gonna want when they move you NOW.

    Let me try to make this even more obvious for you--

    "In 2019, gringos were working these [local] jobs that are unfilled now."

    "Again, why weren't they taking these [other, better paying] jobs before the pandammit?"

    This was in response to your claim that those who lost their jobs (due to the governor shutting the state down) had found better paying jobs in other businesses.

    Or, as I pointed it, it stands as just something else bigots believe.

    Yes.

    So their parents kicked them out, eh?

    Make jokes if you helps you sleep tonight.

    Was that a joke? Why else would white males do un- and semiskilled jobs when these better-paying jobs you claim exist are available?

    No, the bottom line is you failed to comprehend what I wrote. I made it clear from the start I was referring to local jobs.

    I never made such a claim. I didn't reference pre covid employment
    levels or states being shut down. That was a topic you tried to jump
    to. I referenced the current labor shortage and rising wages and you responded, "In 2019, gringos were working these [local] jobs that are

    You've now claimed that gringos were working the jobs currently not
    filled in 2019 and that they *weren't* working those jobs in 2019.

    No, I did. In response to your whine that your bathroom wasn't being repaired due to a lack of a "bunch of Mexicans working for low cash wages," I replied, "I
    see plenty of hispanics working around here. The unfilled jobs locally were formerly filled by gringos."

    You've now claimed that gringos were working the jobs currently not filled in 2019 ...

    That's been my statement all along. To be more precise, I said that gringos were
    working these jobs in 2019 that are currently unfilled.

    ...and that they *weren't* working those jobs in 2019.

    No, that was your misunderstanding of me questioning your assertion that these better-paying jobs you to which allude were available in 2019.

    The problem here is that you just want to argue with somebody and

    pandammit?"

    This was in response to your claim that those who lost their jobs (due to the
    governor shutting the state down) had found better paying jobs in other
    businesses.

    Like I said, Alzheimer's sux dunnit?

    I never made such a claim. I didn't reference pre covid employment levels or
    states being shut down....

    No, I did.

    But just above you accused ME of making that claimed.

    In response to your whine that your bathroom wasn't being repaired
    due to a lack of a "bunch of Mexicans working for low cash wages,"

    I never said that either. So, you put words in my mouth then claim
    them as yours and in either case you get it wrong. You say one thing,
    then it's opposite, then try to say I said it, then admit YOU said it
    . . .

    I replied, "I
    see plenty of hispanics working around here. The unfilled jobs locally were >formerly filled by gringos."

    And a post later you asked why Gringos weren't taking the jobs you
    just said they were taking before.

    ... That was a topic you tried to jump to. I referenced the current labor >> shortage and rising wages and you responded, "In 2019, gringos were working >> these [local] jobs that are unfilled now."...

    Correct.

    And then you asked, "Why weren't they taking these better jobs before
    the pandammit."

    ... I pointed out that they weren't, someone else noted the labor shortage >> started before the pandemic and you switched gears to ask, "Again, why weren't
    they taking these [other, better paying] jobs before the pandammit?"

    You've now claimed that gringos were working the jobs currently not filled in
    2019 ...

    That's been my statement all along. To be more precise, I said that gringos were
    working these jobs in 2019 that are currently unfilled.

    But you also said, "Again, why weren't they taking these [other,
    better paying] jobs before the pandammit?"

    You see that word "again"? That means you were doubling down on
    something previously said. You've said a thing, then it's opposite,
    then repeated the opposite.

    ...and that they *weren't* working those jobs in 2019.

    No, that was your misunderstanding of me questioning your assertion that these >better-paying jobs you to which allude were available in 2019.

    I'm not misunderstanding, " why weren't they taking these [other,
    better paying] jobs before the pandammit?" It seems quite clear,
    especially the second time.

    You said gringos were working those jobs before the pandemic then you
    said they weren't.

    The absurd part of it is that those "better paying" jobs didn't
    actually exist before the pandemic.

    The problem here is that you just want to argue with somebody and
    aren't even paying attention to what you're saying anymore.

    Wrong. Refusing to give you a raise is NOT cutting your wages.

    Gummint budgets operate from a baseline. Take last year's spending,
    factor in inflation and expected increased use of a program and that
    is the baseline.

    If a budget includes spending of less than baseline but the same or
    more as last year's spending, you'll get two stories from Washington.
    One party will complain about spending cuts because spending dropped
    below baseline, while the other will deny cuts were made based solely
    on real dollar allocation.

    Put another way. Assuming your boss doesn't change your wages, isn't
    inflation going to result in you cutting spending?

    ... while complaining there isn't enough border spending.

    I bet you weren't singing this song when Trump was asking for money to build a >wall.

    The point isn't my interest in border security but to point out the
    HYPOCRISY of complaining about border security and then refusing to
    increase spending to the department in charge of border security.

    Then there's the irony of Republicans complaining about spending in
    the first place.

    The only time Democrats complain about government spending is when it's for the
    DOD.

    Not the only time. They also complain about spending when the GOPs
    don't find a way to pay for it other than simply borrowing more money. Hypocritically, it's usually rightists complaining about foreign
    nations holding our debt, but those same rightists support a party
    that has made a habit of jacking up spending and cutting taxes which
    has the result of jacking up the debt.

    What? Are you losing it?

    That would be you.

    "But the topic here." isn't even a complete sentence.

    Good.. if we refuse to increase spending maybe we might eventually get a balanced budget, then a budget surplus we can use to pay down our massive
    debt.

    We're currently the 12th most indebted nation in the world with our debt
    being 128% of our GDP and the growth of that debt is accelerating.

    Given state and federal debt the governments of this nation are about $32 Trillion dollars in debt or over $100,000 per citizen.

    That's $100,000 for you, another $100,000 for your wife, and another
    $100,000 for each of your children....

    Do you have that kind of money?

    Border crossers are the least of the problem....

    But the topic here.

    I would have to question that illegal border crossings are the least of the problem, given illegal border crossings supply the bulk of the drug trade
    and all of the fentanyl, which drives all sorts of violent crime within the US.... Nevermind lost jobs, lower wages, lost revenue and the bleed of US wealth to other nations by those working illegals.

    Indeed, I suspect if he looked at his list of crimes that he claims do
    matter.. many are significantly linked to our refusal to address illegal
    border crossings.

    We have a labor shortage. We can't get people to work. Employers
    are offering ever more compensation and still can't fill all the slots
    they have. This doesn't happen in a weak economy. So, with a strong
    economy, a labor shortage and wages rising, can you tell us exactly
    when an illegal worker cheated you out of that job you wanted picking
    lettuce?

    Indeed, I suspect if he looked at his list of crimes that he claims do >matter.. many are significantly linked to our refusal to address illegal >border crossings.

    There is no one refusing to address illegal border crossing. That's a
    common right wing myth. The Obama years set records for apprehensions
    and Biden would do more if the GOP would stop refusing to increase
    spending. By restricting Border Patrol during a Democratic
    administration, they can blame failure they caused on their
    opposition.

    There's some of that creative editing you accuse others of. Here's
    the paragraph you cut rather than respond to.

    "Border crossers are the least of the problem. More significant are >>>>> the overstayers which topic has been covered before. More illegals
    and getting into the country legally on visas and then overstaying
    them than are getting into the country by illegally crossing a border."

    But the topic here.

    . . . is?

    A trailer full of dead illegal aliens, obviously.

    Um, no. The topic here is Republicans cutting border spending...

    Wrong. Refusing to give you a raise is NOT cutting your wages.

    Gummint budgets operate from a baseline. Take last year's spending,
    factor in inflation and expected increased use of a program and that
    is the baseline.

    If a budget includes spending of less than baseline but the same or
    more as last year's spending, you'll get two stories from Washington.
    One party will complain about spending cuts because spending dropped
    below baseline, while the other will deny cuts were made based solely
    on real dollar allocation.

    Put another way. Assuming your boss doesn't change your wages, isn't inflation going to result in you cutting spending?

    NO. I'll be getting less for my money, but I'll probably be spending it anyway. I'm not *entitled* to COLAs, so why should government agencies be?

    ... while complaining there isn't enough border spending.

    I bet you weren't singing this song when Trump was asking for money to build >> a wall.

    The point isn't my interest in border security but to point out the
    HYPOCRISY of complaining about border security and then refusing to
    increase spending to the department in charge of border security.

    From your source--

    "Republicans are rankled in particular by the idea of spending money to address the fallout from an administration decision they oppose in the first place - even as they criticize the government's current preparedness.

    "The Biden administration is preparing to stop using the public health directive
    known as Title 42 to expel asylum-seeking migrants at the border. Government officials say daily migrant encounters after the rescission of Title 42 could reach 18,000, nearly three times current levels...."

    Then there's the irony of Republicans complaining about spending in
    the first place.

    The only time Democrats complain about government spending is when it's for >> the DOD.

    Not the only time. They also complain about spending when the GOPs
    don't find a way to pay for it other than simply borrowing more money....

    As opposed to the Democrats' desire for additional spending and paying for it by
    raising taxes.

    ... Hypocritically, it's usually rightists complaining about foreign

    As opposed to the Democrats' desire for additional spending and paying for it by

    Thank you for admitting that. Democrats believe in fiscal
    responsibility. They want to pay for their spending. Republicans
    don't. They want to borrow our kids and grand kids into the grave.

    Example: Reagan campaigned on balancing the budget and reducing the
    debt. It was a big GOP issue in 1980. But four years after he took
    office, deficits had exploded and a 200 year national debt had almost
    doubled.

    Republicans still complain about debt and deficits to this day, but
    only when a Democrat is in office.

    ... Hypocritically, it's usually rightists complaining about foreign
    nations holding our debt, but those same rightists support a party
    that has made a habit of jacking up spending and cutting taxes which
    has the result of jacking up the debt.

    Democrats never talk abouit cutting taxes.

    No, they don't. Unlike Republicans who think everything should be
    free, Democrats understand you have to pay for stuff. You can't just
    steal what you want from your grand kids. This means Republicans are spendthrifts.

    Classic example: When Part D was being negotiated, the Democrats
    wanted to take bids on medication from wholesalers in order to reduce
    prices. Republicans insisted on buying directly from the
    manufacturers at full retail.

    It wasn't anything but the inane babblings of somebody who's lost an
    argument.

    It was the counterpoint to your attempt to divert.

    No . . . no, I'm quite sure it was the inane babblings of somebody

    As I recall usage rates went up sharply but one principle from
    conservatism that I share is the concept of "usage fees/taxes". In
    this case, folks who use the parks ought to be financing the bulk of
    their operating costs.

    Gummint budgets operate from a baseline. Take last year's spending,
    factor in inflation and expected increased use of a program and that
    is the baseline.

    If a budget includes spending of less than baseline but the same or

    One party will complain about spending cuts because spending dropped
    below baseline, while the other will deny cuts were made based solely
    on real dollar allocation.

    Put another way. Assuming your boss doesn't change your wages, isn't
    inflation going to result in you cutting spending?

    NO. I'll be getting less for my money, but I'll probably be spending it
    anyway.

    So, you're going to insist on being willfully ignorant once again?

    Just following your lead.

    If prices are going up, you're going to buy less. Period....

    But I won't be cutting my spending, which was your assertion.

    ... That's an income cut because your income doesn't buy as much.

    It's a reduction in my disposable income, not my taxable income.

    I'm not *entitled* to COLAs, so why should government agencies be?

    Government doesn't work that way. Taxpayers expect services....

    Not ALL taxpayers. Remember the TEA Party? Some are still in Congress.

    ... Whether it's a delayed aircraft carrier, admittance restrictions at national parks, closing FBI investigations early or not providing medication for a Social Security recipient.

    Government operates on COLA's because taxpayers demand it.

    Again, not ALL taxpayers. But thanks for the lesson in pinkie economics.

    ... while complaining there isn't enough border spending.

    I bet you weren't singing this song when Trump was asking for money to >>>> build a wall.

    The point isn't my interest in border security but to point out the
    HYPOCRISY of complaining about border security and then refusing to
    increase spending to the department in charge of border security.

    From your source--

    "Republicans are rankled in particular by the idea of spending money to address the fallout from an administration decision they oppose in the first place - even as they criticize the government's current preparedness.

    "The Biden administration is preparing to stop using the public health directive
    known as Title 42 to expel asylum-seeking migrants at the border. Government officials say daily migrant encounters after the rescission of Title 42 could reach 18,000, nearly three times current levels...."

    Sources, sources. Denial isn't a river in Egypt. You have to accept
    the facts of life because depending on lies will burn you every time.

    Lies such as spending Border Patrol funds for diapers and daycare and flying illegal aliens all over the country qualifies as 'border security'?

    It's a reduction in my disposable income, not my taxable income.

    It's not either. It's a reduction in your buying power.

    Which will result in a reduction in my disposable income.

    I'm not *entitled* to COLAs, so why should government agencies be?

    Government doesn't work that way. Taxpayers expect services....

    Not ALL taxpayers. Remember the TEA Party? Some are still in Congress.

    So what? Are you saying that tea party districts refuse to accept
    federal money?

    No, I'm not saying that at all. I didn't ask for $3,000 in federal stimulus money, but I didn't turn it down. The price of ammo is way up, ya know?

    ... Whether it's a delayed aircraft carrier, admittance restrictions at >>> national parks, closing FBI investigations early or not providing medication
    for a Social Security recipient.

    Government operates on COLA's because taxpayers demand it.

    Again, not ALL taxpayers. But thanks for the lesson in pinkie economics.

    Still lying, I see....

    As hard as it is for you to believe, not ALL taxpayers demand more government services.

    ... You need some lessons in real economics.

    Running my own business for 40+ years doesn't count, I guess.

    ... while complaining there isn't enough border spending.

    I bet you weren't singing this song when Trump was asking for money to >>>>>> build a wall.

    The point isn't my interest in border security but to point out the
    HYPOCRISY of complaining about border security and then refusing to
    increase spending to the department in charge of border security.

    From your source--

    "Republicans are rankled in particular by the idea of spending money to
    address the fallout from an administration decision they oppose in the first >> place - even as they criticize the government's current preparedness.

    "The Biden administration is preparing to stop using the public health
    directive known as Title 42 to expel asylum-seeking migrants at the border. >> Government officials say daily migrant encounters after the rescission of
    Title 42 could reach 18,000, nearly three times current levels...."

    Sources, sources. Denial isn't a river in Egypt. You have to accept
    the facts of life because depending on lies will burn you every time.

    Lies such as spending Border Patrol funds for diapers and daycare and flying >> illegal aliens all over the country qualifies as 'border security'?

    Since covid is no longer a high risk, more money will be needed to
    process asylum seekers. Yes, this is part of border security.

    Trump had a better and cheaper plan. It was called "remain in Mexico."

    Except Trump.

    Which year(s) did Trump write budgets?

    2018
    https://www.crfb.org/papers/president-trumps-full-fy-2018-budget

    "The President released the full version of his first budget yesterday, laying out his *proposals* for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 and the following decade...."

    2019
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/politics/trump-budget-2019/

    "On Feb. 12, the Trump administration released its 2019 budget *proposal*..."

    2020
    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/11/us/politics/trump-budget.html

    Trump *Proposes* a Record $4.75 Trillion Budget

    2021 https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/trumps-2021-budget-would-cut-16-trillion-from-low-income-programs

    "The Trump Administration's budget plan for fiscal year 2021 mirrors its budgets
    of the last two years in the massive cuts it *proposes*"

    Presidents may propose budgets, but it's Congress that writes budgets.

    The topic isn't the House "honoring" the President's proposals. The
    topic is you being mistaken that President's don't write budgets and
    trying desperately to wriggle out of that error instead of growing a
    pair of balls and acknowledging you misspoke or were otherwise

    Which year(s) did Trump write budgets?

    2018
    https://www.crfb.org/papers/president-trumps-full-fy-2018-budget

    "The President released the full version of his first budget yesterday, laying out his *proposals* for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 and the following decade...."

    2019
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/politics/trump-budget-2019/

    "On Feb. 12, the Trump administration released its 2019 budget *proposal*..."

    2020
    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/11/us/politics/trump-budget.html

    Trump *Proposes* a Record $4.75 Trillion Budget

    2021 https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/trumps-2021-budget-would-cut-16-trillion-from-low-income-programs

    "The Trump Administration's budget plan for fiscal year 2021 mirrors its budgets
    of the last two years in the massive cuts it *proposes*"

    Presidents may propose budgets, but it's Congress that writes budgets.
    - - - - - - - - - - - -

    The topic is your ridiculous claim that the President writes budgets. Are you man enough to admit you were mistaken?

    Still bullshitting? Still trying to move the goal posts? Still

    houses pass them?

    You're an especially stupid fuck today.

    Nope, putting them back to where they were before your semantic games started.

    ... Still trying to get me to believe budgets aren't written down until both houses pass them?

    And there it is: You're unaware what the phrase "write the budget" means.

    You're an especially stupid fuck today.

    Not stupid enough to buy what you're peddling.

    No, it didn't but it did get them some lawyers to sue Trump for their

    So it's totally irrelevant to border security or lack thereof.

    Why, yes, you do celebrate hypocrisy.

    I have no fear of conservatives taking a civics test to qualify to vote. Do
    you fear liberals' odds of passing the same test?

    Requiring the passing of a civics test to vote is unconstitutional....

    Yet we require it of aliens who wish citizenship.

    We don't require it to vote because it is an unconstitutional literacy test.


    ... It's a literacy test. Your wish to see such a requirement proves you
    don't know the Constitution...

    Wherein [sic] does the Constitution address this?

    <chortle>


    ... and you hate America.

    Hardly.

    Completely.


    No, but I don't hold out much hope for either side of the aisle
    scoring all that great across the board.

    Wanna know something scary?

    Some years back, I was seeing a woman who told me her 13 year old grandson >>> didn't know the Pledge of Allegiance.

    Good. Reciting it is stupid....

    So is your opinion.

    No, my opinion is based on facts and sound logic, and is worth following.

    Knowing the pledge of allegiance is stupid. It doesn't make anyone a "better" citizen. Pretty much all expressions of patriotism are stupid. Patriotism is a
    shit emotion, and is the *first* refuge of neo-fascist shitbags like you.
