[The Last Stand]

I couldn't get a photo, I just drove by a billboard in town. It said



THE LEAFS ARE PAYING FOR BILLBOARD PROPAGANDA. I want to get a photo but it's on a highway that's unlikely for me to be able to.

Did it look something like this?



How menacing.

Or it used to. A guy jumping the border to be a low-wage contractor off the books is not the same as a guy jumping the border to sell drugs and commit reprisals for the boss back home.

People have literally begged for this process (enforcement of border laws) to be done with care and precision for decades and it's never happened.

Exactly. The time for precision has passed, the cancer must be treated with aggressive means like amputation. If people actually cared about the 'uwu he's just an economic illegal here to grift off the infrastructure built by Americans' bullshit (still needs deporting) then they wouldn't have deliberately made the problem so terrible and messy. They did, though, deliberately, for the express purpose of making it so big and so messy that nobody would ever try to solve the problem. Now that the only effective solution is to just throw everybody out at once, they want to complain about poor lil Pedro.

Well fuck that dude, and fuck the people that help him. Everyone that helps an illegal enter the country, steal benefits, have jobs, etc, should be deported with them. If they love third worlders so much they can go live with them.

So they can't afford to protect their own borders but they can afford milk in bags and gay billboard ads. What's going on, Canada?!

Trump should unveil a US flag redesign with only 49 stars. Let it hang for a weekend or two with no comment then announce some sort of us-only olympic battle royale competition to see who's getting eliminated. I voted for a reality tv star damn it.

What happens to the losers? Annexed by Mexico?

Not quite but it has the same bottom "by Canada" Branding. Leaf tax dollars at work

Krylenko wanted the state to be able to punish you if they thought you did something they didn't like regardless of wether it was illegal or not. The illegal immigrants you are simping so hard for are criminals and have committed a crime by illegally entering the United States. It stands to reason then that the United States is within its right to legally detain and deport them. I don't see how this situation or thread is anything like some Soviet commissar.

The reference is to say that a lot of people here are happy to take the executive branch at their word that these people have all been carefully vetted before being black bagged (!!), but seeing as we already have a system in place via the judiciary to accomplish this, we should use that system to make absolutely sure each and every person is in fact who and what the executive branch claims they are.

A check and a balance to prevent undermining one's own goals and ending up in the dock yourself.

Someone had mentioned this as being a warning to others. That is a fair point. The intimidation factor is powerful. But so is the executive branch to bring about a rapid response to a given situation. I see no reason why the gang members and otherwise could not have been detained here and quickly examined by the judiciary to make sure the executive got it right. By now the process could have concluded and the deportations executed.

Getting this wrong even once wreak havoc on the very objective of getting illegals and specifically illegal gangbangers out of the country. And nobody should trust the executive branch at your word when its immense power moves at the result of the next election.

And again, I do find it troublesome that principles get taken advantage of by bad actors. But you cannot allow the executive branch to simply say they did the work and call it a day. Trust but verify is extremely applicable here.

People have literally begged for this process (enforcement of border laws) to be done with care and precision for decades and it's never happened. This immigration problem was like a wound that was allowed to fester, when the wound was fresh the population asked for a bandaid and the government ignored it.

So again some history of this.

The southern boarder had mexicans on it, and there were/are mexician communities that date back to before those states were part of the union. When those states joined the union they inherited, those communites and the people on the boarder traveled back and fourth.

This breaking of the law was the statue quo, people liked the cheap labor and the mexicans like the denro, alot would work send money home and travel back and fourth.

Regan fucked things up by trying to fix the problem my legitimizing the status quo, with his amnesty which basically set the president that get here and hang on long enough you too my get made legal.

Also the failed to fix the issue.

California tried in the 1990s with prop 184 and bill clinton asked the state to let the fed handle immigration issues because they are federal power and not state powers.

But back to the border.

When regan pulled that shit it enlarge the "mexican american" along the boarder so now there are ready made place mexican can hop into.

But the people crossing the boarder are from central and south america or even fucking china, this degrades the boarder hoppers quality of life.

That is hilarious. Get a photo. Wipe the metadata.

I am assuming this is a related to the tariffs that are being put on Canada. It that is the case, then why are you putting tariffs on American products, canucks?!

You know how when you go to the store to buy your cavity-creating fat guy drink, there are these bottles of clear liquid in the very same aisle? Those are actually for drinking, too.

Ironically at my local grocery store, all the water is in a different aisle from the soda

Before he leaves office, can we get Trump to say he respects peoples pronouns and wants more racial quotas in movies so that we can swing the TDS-havers over on those issues.

When the punishment is being flown off to a black hole to never be heard from again, yes we should be sure that we are sending the right people.

Intent matters. Or it used to. A guy jumping the border to be a low-wage contractor off the books is not the same as a guy jumping the border to sell drugs and commit reprisals for the boss back home.

Both should be removed from the country, but only one should be sent to what is effectively a black site.

Intent doesn’t matter, and I honestly think they’re being too lenient. If it were up to me, every illegal would be executed in the spot with no mercy. They don’t belong here and the fact they are here shows they have no respect for our laws, our culture, or our people

Holy shit, I found this looking up info on south American countries seeking asylum,

Is the thread already aware that as of 2022 there is over 700,000 UNDOCUMENTED Indians in the USA, third largest group of undocumented foreign nationals after Mexico and El Salvedor

I wonder where they're all congregating, since I never see poos in the wild. Only occasionally at a shit ghetto gas station behind the counter.

 

[John.Doe]

Intent doesn’t matter

Unless they've been kidnapped, forced at gunpoint and brought here in a shipping container, then their intent was to illegally invade and be a parasite on the nation. The people trafficked can be peacefully deported. For the rest....

if it were up to me, every illegal would be executed in the spot with no mercy.

Just don't forget to do the same to all the people betraying their own nation to assist the invading hordes.

LANDMINE THE BORDER. Both borders, actually.
That is all.

Why stop at the border? Keep going another 50 miles!

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

don't mess with Texas!
that's even the littering the slogan was allegedly begun for

My comment was based on the assisting assertion that someone with his wealth could be considered an oligarch (or in the most charitable reading, couldn’t be opposed to oligarchs)

Top 2% is SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS. Do you not know what an oligarchy is, it’s a SMALL group. Your kids paediatrician is in there, middle management is in there, FAANG engineers are in there. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of small business owners are in there. His net worth is about what you’d expect An 85 year old, drawing a 200k salary with minimal costs and six successful books to have.

I was thinking 5 mil net worth and about 50Billion for oligarchs. Or 10^4 (four orders of magnitude).

I was too kind in my question, I think the real question is “do you know the difference between a million and a billion?”

The 1% is Bernie's own definition. I don't see why he deserves the benefit of a different one.

don't mess with Texas!

50 miles in the other direction, into Mexico

Beer is 90% water and about 4-5% ABV if you get the right stuff, with proper pacing, external hydration, and a robust lifestyle, Ill argue till im blue in the face that beer (in moderation) will ALWAYS be the most healthy drink option (In relation to soda and jucies and other manufactured drinks) other than red wine and of course water

I can agree with some of this, but only with the caveat that not all beer is created equal. There's lightyears between a good oatmeal stout and macrobrewed rice beer like Budweiser. One feels like a meal, the other feels like a foamy, full, upset stomach.

Landmines are awful do not do this.

Chris goes over MAHA removing soda from SNAP purchases. In case as you missed the news or the sperg out in this very thread.

This guy reads the news the same way the Linus tech tips douchebags do and it’s just as annoying here.
Can people please stop trying to add a pun or zinger to every news headline?

Ironically at my local grocery store, all the water is in a different aisle from the soda

I guess for a fat guy, walking a whole extra aisle or two over is like a normal person taking a 5-mile hike over hilly terrain.
