Apparently, Colombia exports between 15 and 20 billion dollars worth of goods to the US, the top categories being crude oil, flowers, and coffee. And their top import is refined petroleum. I'm sure the Colombian oil producers and anyone using refined oil products are going to be happy when their finances are hit because their president wouldn't take a couple planes of illegals. And when the kids of the Colombian elites start being sent home mid-semester from their Ivy League schools, I'm sure they'll think the exchange of not taking some illegals is worthwhile.

Employ the coyotes and smugglers to sneak them back into the country's. To stop them they would have to plug the holes being used the other direction.
 
That's a stunner of a quote. JD has this massive dad aura and it serves him well without being his entire political personality. America's family man!
It should be the most obvious and natural of sentiments in existence and yet we in the Western world have been so demoralized that you almost choke on your food in disbelief when you hear a politician actually say it.
 
Southerners shouldn't really tell Northerners about how great the South. Don't encourage them to migrate. Just tell them it's a fascist shit hole with Trump supporters everywhere, rednecks with AR-15s, and that they wouldn't survive there with all the racism. Just don't defend the South. Just accept what they say and move on.
I'm not from the south and am not even a WASP, I just get autistically irritated when I see people who are almost assuredly less of a heritage American than the average white southerner get uppity and talk down to the south. Its the same sort of irritation people felt when Vivek and the other jeets started throwing definitions of America and Americans around at people. It is not your place to tell someone who has more blood invested in the history of this country that they aren't American enough. The Civil War is over and the south is not rising again, so make peace with your brethren before we are all washed away by the foreign hordes.
 
This is what having a living breathing non corpse on the throne is able to do. Fuck you Colombia, none of you are getting in if you won't take YOUR people back.
it makes me actually giddy to see this kind of thing. i had no idea the level of national trauma we had been subject to in the last 4 years, but all it takes is a regular, functional state department to make us hyperventilate with excitement now.

more please!
 
"Country founded by immigrants" The classic lie, this country was founded by settlers and conquerors.
Who cares who founded it?
First of all, the word is "found", it's already past tense. But note that the Indians found America merely by walking, whereas the white man found it with his advanced scientific knowledge of world curvature. Whites also found Antarctica and even the moon. Who knows what mysterious worlds they may find next?
 
Just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean we need to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world
Finally. I hope this argument continues to reach the lips of every right wing politician and policymaker. It took long enough. It should be entirely common sense that regardless of who you believe the united states was founded by (Hint; obviously not immigrants) has little bearing on what is pragmatic to do today.
Can we agree that the weed gummies are fine if smoking it is bad? CBD gummies are singlehandedly preventing the retirement of several irreplaceable boomers in high skilled blue collar jobs
It is entirely respectable for hard working people to drugs as long as it is done responsibly and correctly.
Much industry built in this country was on the backs of men downing amphetamines like desTINY in a goon sesh so they could pull off a double shift and get things done in time.
